My Rahm Emanuel Paintings

Considering the imminent departure from Washington by White House Chief Of Staff Rahm Emanuel, it seems an appropriate time to post a collection of my varied portraits of the same.

My first portrait of Rahm, with bagel and lox poised upon his silvery head-



After posting and auctioning this portrait on Ebay I received two requests for commissions of Rahm in a similar pose.

Rahm with lox on the bagel...and cream cheese!



Subsequently framed-



-and posted by proud art collecter and blogger The White Sade.

Soon after followed a request for a portrait of Rahm with a small loaf of challah bread balanced on top of his head.  This is the first time I've posted this particular painting online-



This portrait now resides somewhere in Australia.

Not everyone recognized my portrayal of Rahm in this Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn painting-



-but many did, including the posters from this message board from earlier today-

ANGRY ~POLITICALLY CORRECT~ THREAD -No One's Message Board


Finally and also by request was born this painting of the three Emanuel brothers in the form of a pancake laden, Christmas greeting-



'Oh Come Ye, Emanuels.'

Rahm Out, Rouse In On Friday - Politico

Repainted Fabric Cat Pancake, Revised Marco Cat Pancake, and A Revised John Boehner Meat Suit Portrait

My wife who is a professional harpist played a few library concerts in upstate Minnesota last week.  Acting as her roadie gave me the excuse to stay offline for a few days and concentrate on finishing a few projects.

A month or so ago I mailed Fabric the Cat's pancake portrait to the wrong address and it disappeared into the ether.  Here's the repainted portrait- 



I'm sorry to say that my own cat Marco has gotten into some very bad habits lately.  Here he is hiding behind the bathroom door.  He should.  Here's his revised pancake painting-



The John Boehner meat suit portait from a few weeks ago, with additional detail- 

Best of Beauty

Hi loves! Happy Friday! So I've been devouring my October issue of Allure magazine, because it has all of the editors "Best of Beauty" picks! For those who don't know, the editors and their staff tests hundreds and hundreds of beauty products in every category (makeup, skincare, fragrance) from all different brands and come up with the Best of Beauty SUPER list! It's interesting to see what they've chosen and WHY they like it so much.

There are so many things I want to try, but have been trying not to spend tons of money on makeup (too bad it's not working...)

So I have to ask my makeup addicts - what are you loving for Fall? Share your favorite new products with us!

OR, is there a new beauty trend that you've wanted to try?
