Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.
My favorite part is that she hasn’t been singled out at all, and that hers is simply one of many portraits done in the same style.
As far as I know, she’s the only one that has raised a stink about it. Which is why her portrait needs to be put on t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and every other medium for widespread, ongoing appreciation of what the artist was able to capture so accurately.
Ive got that weird sense of humor where I would be like “do my portrait!” And then hang that shit in the guest bathroom in my house. I’ll be weirdly excited every time someone new goes in there to see what they say after.
Oh Streisand Effect, you so funny.
As a west Aussie, for me to wear that someone would need to take the design further, like with this Muskrat shirt: nsfw language link
Just couldn’t bear the slightest risk of anyone thinking I’m genuinely wearing a Gina Rinehart shirt
edit: I’d wear this one though sfw link credit to Birrunga gallery on facebook
At first, I kind of understood how it could be seen as unflattering but changed my opinion when I learned that her money came from mining, the painting is far too kind. As someone who grew up where mining was part of the culture, fuck her and every other mine owner.
She also says horrible things about people who aren’t rich.
The article uses a flattering posed photo of her, too. Here is a candid shot.
All her money came from her father. What makes it worse is that she ended up suing her own children to get their inheritance that her father left them.
Lol it is the drawn form of wRitINg lIKe tHiS
That painting… She looks like something that would be trying to eat your face in an indie survival horror game you got for 99¢ on Steam.
The picture too
It looks just like her, I don’t know why she’s mad.
It really does. Image search has heaps of photos of her looking like in this painting.
As much as I love the focus on her double chin, the stoned, cracked out, prince Charles really takes the cake!
Two weeks!
Why the long face?
