Dan Lacey, Painter of Pancakes, Barack Obama, Unicorns, More!

Robot Nine has done two posts of "bad paintings" of Barack Obama and they have met with a lot of divided reactions ranging from people finding them funny to profanity filled hate mail.
Many of the paintings featuring Obama, unicorns, or pancakes were done by artist Dan Lacey. All of the readers who spewed vile should read what Mr. Lacey had to say about the post in an e-mail to Robot Nine...
"I saw your post about my paintings on your blog, and just wanted to say thanks. I've discovered that many people find bad paintings much more entertaining than good ones. Thanks again, Dan"
Everyone should know that we understand that art is subjective, and some of ourfavorite stuff is BAD! In that spirit, enjoy a collection of Dan's best!

Sarah PalinVery happy to be adorned with a triple stacker. Please don't tell her that it's not a crown.

Lucy the BulldogAny dog that can resist a pancake on their head is plenty relaxed.

Annie LeibovitzWhere's the pancake? Don't ask questions you bunch of critical bums!

Bernis MadoffLooks like he madoff with the pancakes just like he madoff with all that money.

Rahm EmanuelBagel, lox, and a smarmy, knowing grin that worries conservatives everywhere.

Oh Come Ye EmanuelsDone at Christmas?

Condoleeza RiceYou're right, it's not a pancake.It's a jockstrap.Stopping being critical you fascist twit!(I'm adding the venom and hate for you!)

Hilary ClintonIs she laughing at Sarah Palin thinking it's a crown or at Condi for getting strapped with the jock?

Iceland's Former Prime Minister Geir HaardeIce on the pancake, get it?

John McCainMan, that pancake is still hot. Posing for this must have been difficult. He really is a tough guy!

Barack ObamaHmmm, a little too much like the money shot...Hush, you were thinking the same thing you hyper-critical art Nazi in the back row there!

Dan Lacey Self-PortraitYou know, this could start a trend if pancake hats were available for purchase. Dan?

Stephen ColbertLooking oh so Mod Squad.

William AyersAn explosive work sure to be a blast in the art world.

Mother TeresaIn further conversation with the artist he revealed that he had a career as a fine art portrait painter. The above work has more of that typical hallmark of traditional portraiture. At a point in his life Dan decided to turn his art on it's ear and has not looked back. We like that!
