Bad Paintings of Barack Obama - Much has been made of how so many talented, young artists came out in support of Barack Obama. But Obama also inspired tons of amateurs and semi-talented hacks as well—he can’t help it. Witness Bad Paintings of Barack Obama.
Looking through those I ran into this one, for which I thought "Wow, someone decided to give Obama a halfassed Alex Grey treatment"...
Turns out that's cause it's a photo of an unfinished Alex Grey painting. The completed version isn't one of his better ones (a, b) but is certainly much more subtle. He's actually one of my favorite working artists.
My personal favorite is the one of Obama holding a pair of tighty whities, hanging around with the semi-nude Mexicans, eating tacos.
Oh, I almost forgot that both soku and I loved the one where Obama has the White House for his grillz.

That unicorn one and the blue smurf Obama are really great.
