A well-known British artist is exhibiting collage portraits of President Bush and Paris Hilton he made out of porn magazine images.
Jonathan Yeo's portrait of Hilton was bought by artist Damien Hirst ahead of Thursday's show opening, said Lazarides Gallery spokeswoman Elizabeth Barrett, who didn't know the sale price.
Yeo has painted portraits of Tony Blair, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Rupert Murdoch and Prince Philip.
He got the idea for the collages following the cancellation of a commission by the White House to paint Bush in 2004. He made the portrait, anyway, but in the form of a collage using pieces of pornographic magazines.
Here's a collage of Lara Croft (Tomb Raider 2 era) I made back in the late-90s - NSFW, if your boss has really good eyesight. And I got the idea from a Wired magazine cover, circa 1995.
