The Ghoulish Bride
Some fine comedy in a BBC On-line article about a bride who has a surprising portrait made of her as a wedding present.
Controversial UK artist, Jake Chapman, created the portrait (below) for £4,500 along with a slew of other ones. You gotta love the expression on the artist (centre) and the bride (right). Maybe there is some hope for this crazy art thing.
Chapman and his brother Dino did two portraits an hour for eight hours a day in four days. £288,000 in cold hard cash. I'd be smiling and laughing too.

A young child who saw the portrait being unveiled announced it looked like a corpse. He wasn't far off the mark. Chapman thought it was hilarious - the comment and the portrait.Comments made on the article are also pretty funny like, "My 12 year old brother could do that. Martin, London, UK". Sure, kid, but could your bro charge that kinda coin and get paid?

That bald dude is a genius.
Imagine getting people to pay for that crap.
He has fun, the suckers pay through the nose, and he's laughing all the way to the bank.
Oh yeah. He doesn't have to work for a living. He leaves that to his customers.
