Nude Painting of Justin Trudeau. #TrudeauVEINia



"Because it's $2015" is an original painting by Kyle MacDonald.

It features Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doing some good ol' #CulturalAppropriation Yoga in front of 24 Sussex Drive (aka the Canadian White House).

The painting features nice subtle touches such as being perfectly proportional to Canadian bank notes, the serial number references the prime minister's plan to legalize pot and the burgeoning 2015 teenager phrase "bae" is incorporated into things.

Oh yeah and Justin Turdeau's dick is in full view.

*NOTE: (Justin Trudeau was unavailable for a live nude model session so his penis was based on that of Lenny Kravitz's that time he ripped his pants wide open on stage in front of a screaming crowd of thousands)

This one-of-a-kind ORIGINAL painting is available now for the reasonable price of $2015 USD.


Painting Dimensions:
48" x 22"

Auction Summary:

Provenance:

Beware of Ghind

A Mediocre Painting of McBarge

Link to auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141930273730

I really liked Expo 86.  To a six year old kid in 1986 it was the coolest thing of all time.  Flashing lights.  A UFO Water Park.  Rides.  A Monorail. The Czechoslovakia Pavilion!

But most of all, there Was. A. FREAKING. McDONALDs. RESTAURANT. ON. A. BARGE.

McNerds will refer to this former floating McPukes as “The Friendship 500” or whatever its official name is but everyone else on earth knew it by one name only:

McBARGE.

To many people McBarge was, and remains, the centrepiece to the entire 1986 World’s Fair.  I could tell how exciting it was to watch my happy meal travel from the kitchen to the pick up counter via CONVEYOR BELT! but memories aside, McBarge really came into its own AFTER Expo 86.  

After the lights on Expo 86 were turned off McBarge was towed from False Creek to Burrard Inlet on the North side of Capitol Hill in Burnaby where it sat for nearly 30 years, slowly decaying before our eyes and against ALL odds was never sunk.  Not even once.

Yes, like you I also had plans to “buy McBarge for a dollar" (it’s only a DOLLAR!) and do something amazing with it.  But also like you I didn’t ever actually act on those drunken ideas. 

Somebody else did.  They bought McBarge and FINALLY moved it from its location on Burrard Inlet and towed it up the Fraser.
 
Word on the Internet is McBarge is being refurbished and will be relocated “to an exciting secret location”

...to which my brother Scott said, “I hope that secret location is…the bottom of the ocean!”

That'd be pretty awesome.  

Who’s kidding who.  It’s probably going to get turned into some mediocre brew pub on the Fraser that you’ll never go to.  The centerpiece of some "new" (but also historic!) condo development in a place like Hammond or Mission or the River District.  

Yawn.

I liked McBarge right where it was.  In Burnaby.  A rusting, barnacle-covered spaceship-esque corpse of former EXPO 86 glory tagged with crappy graffiti, windows smashed out, a magnet for moss and haphazard chainlink fences and pointless NO TRESSPASSING signs that no security company surveilled it was just some lawyer requirement to put them up....oh, and let's not forget the thousands of half-baked schemes to "let's go climb around on that thing!" That you never did except that one guy who made the Youtube video last year with the inflatable boat you know the one....the only guy who ever ACTUALLY went on McBarge.  Legend.  

McBarge was a wonderful bastion of decay visible to commuters on the West Coast Express twice a day.  People on the WCE could literally set their watches to McBarge.  Think about that for a second.

Let's not beat around the bush here either:
In all aspects of the term, McBarge was A Total Fucking Eyesore.

But a smile-inducing, bizarre Floating Former Fast-Food Fascination Fucking Eyesore in an otherwise shiny polished new city.

So in honor of this former floating detritus we all loved, I made this painting. 

I could have painted a better painting.  But I didn’t.  Because McBarge.

Have fun !

Bidding starts at $1.00 (the price of McBarge!) - no reserve - FREE shipping anywhere in the world.

Paint with your GHIND

Link to GHIND $234 Bill auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/141928298754

Last month I posted the “$234 Bill” auction and it didn’t sell for at least $234 USD so I had to destroy it.

And I did.

The $234 Bill was successfully GHINDED (run over by the painted tire of a 1989 Burgundy Dodge Caravan — thus DESTROYED.)

And guess what:

It’s up for auction again.

Floor price is $234.

If the “Ghind Tire $234 Bill” painting doesn’t sell for at least $234 USD, I’ll DESTROY IT.

Again.

First painting I've ever done of a red paperclip up for auction !

Link to auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/141918086988

Due to popular demand here it is… a painting of a Red Paperclip !

Red Paperclip Painting #1 is, if you can believe it, the first painting of a red paperclip I’ve ever done and the HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE #1 in a potential series of BILLIONS of paintings of red paperclips.

Everyone on earth deserves a painting of a red paperclip so if I can iron out the production wrinkles these paintings are going to be fabricated on an unfathomable industrial scale in the near future in order to supply the 7 Billion+ citizens of Planet Earth with the paintings of a red paperclip they NEED to survive.

Who knows!  Maybe this original hand-painted #1 will one day be worth billions of dollars and put on display at whatever the Canadian version of the Smithsonian or Louvre is called and people from all over will flock to wherever that museum is and crowd around it on display and hold up their cameras so they can see it LIVE on their implanted VR goggles.

Or maybe it will get shot into space as some sort of crazy publicity stunt to promote paperclips by a massive multinational stationery chain.

Or something else !

But as of right this minute there is only ONE painting of a Red Paperclip by Kyle MacDonald in all of human existence - hence the #1 designation in the title - and you can bid on it right here on Ebay and potentially make it your OWN.

Hand-painted by World Record Holder Kyle MacDonald aka “DJ Dancefloor” aka “the red paperclip guy”.

Auction starts at $12.34 USD with no reserve and FREE shipping anywhere in the world.
