Barack Obama and the Apeman funny pictures - / Great chop but I;m not sure how it'll fly with the voters because it seems to make black people /monkey connection which is considered a no-no. / well newsy, that was certainly not my intention. It's a surreal creation and I suppose the viewer can read anything into it that he wants.... But when we get right down to it, we're all descended from apes, regardless of the color of our skin, right. / Excellent chop, great imagination and execution. I did not pick up any bias from this chop until reading the comments. Newsy might be a bit over cautious here, as he should be. / I'm with Hidden, that was the last thing on my mind. Awesome chop... / Well, there is a direct link if you know the history of eugenics but you would have had to have read a whole bunch of esoteric useless drivel on the subject. Eugenics, Psychiatry, Auto writing, Surrealism and abstract expressionism were force fit. The ape relationship to the black race and their brain pan being more the size of a chimp's comes out of some pretty old-school "think" of psychiatry and eugenics. The surrealistic and abstract movements encouraged conjoining psychoanalytic theory and doctrine in art and rules were ignored. So, there you go, there is your free pass, or artistic license. Great chop, by the way. / I think the black-monkey relationship is in bad taste. I'm black skin and his work is a bit offensive. I think that that was not their intention to create discomfort. You do not understand everything is confusing the idea of work. Luck / Quite a mind you got there Funkwood. Really really out there, super cool too. Although on the edge with the monkey thing, I think we could all stand to be a little less sensitive and just appreciate the art. I am disgusted by racism, but think people are offended to easily also. It's a shame. Glad to see this made it through. Congrats. / Only two words for this {LOVE IT}. Congrats on a very well done peice of art. / Never crossed my mind Funkwood because I know that Art is the, only, statement you ever make with your images. I knew it was your work so, it was a 'Pass' on the psychoanalytic Wunder-Babble. Also, I am amazed by Hitspnner's response which had NO spelling errors this round. You bring out the best in people and, always, provide a necessary diversion to the mundane prejudices of our collective existence. ...i rest my case. / Congrats Funkster Reminds me of the opening scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. / Great work Funkman .. congrats on the silver and keep going / I knew this one would have to do well in spite of commentary. The only people that piss me off more than the politically correct ar the ones that aren't. Nobody was ever murdered for being mindful of another person's feelings. Swell choppage and congrads |
