#2 As I said in the other thread:

Chicken! Sissy! Pantywaist! Mincing fraidy-cat! You do art like a girl!

#3 "I've censored myself"

Good little dhimmi!

One work depicted a teddy bear being born from a penis as the Virgin Mary.

He had no choice. Someone else had already dunked a crucifix in urine.

Once again, we are treated to the sordid spectacle of Islam's surest victims protesting the least. Were this a just world, it would be their cowardice that made them first in line for the sword.

#4 One work depicted a teddy bear being born from a penis as the Virgin Mary.

That's not even shocking anymore - it's just pathetic. This guy's got all the imagination of a 7th grader with about half the maturity. And I'm not even talking about his cowardice which has been addressed by other posters.

#5 Artists, however, love to manufacture controversy to sell they stuff. How long will it be before one creates a fake artist, who makes art whose sole purpose is to piss off Muslims, the sell them for high prices to undisclosed buyers as "forbidden" art before killing off their unreal artist?

The last time that was done was an artist who painted some homo pictures of Batman and Robin, fully aware that DC Comics sues anybody who uses their image. When they hit him with a mengasso lawsuit, he called a press conference to destroy his works, but secretly sold half a dozen through a buddy, to collectors for huge prices.

Art is a scam.

#6 Most artists are just people that can't hack it in the real world. Just ask my sister-in-law.

#7 For the record, my sister in law is an artist and works to pay the rent. She is always stating that she is "tired of being a cog in the corporate machine". Maybe it is just me, but I find the corporate machine pays well and regularly.

Lovely picture of him, and him and the wife at the link.

#9 The last time that was done was an artist who painted some homo pictures of Batman and Robin, Last time I looked the home erotic movie Batman and Robin was still for sale on DVD and priced to move. I think DC Comics should pay more attention.

#10 While multicultists are spewing about the nobility of Islam, Muslims are subverting our political order and diminishing cultural freedom. Now they want prayer zones in work places, so they can further segregate. This has to stop somewhere.
