I saw that - congrats!

Hey, thanks. They specifically asked for Obama unicorn print files for the article, but didn't use any of them. A big Obama Nude On A Unicorn painting on the front cover of the Times would have sold more paper.

CBS News Sunday morning used one of my recent Susan Boyle paintings in a Mo Rocca segment. Once I transfer it from VHS to disc I'll post it online.

I'm famous now, so you all owe me five dollars for merely looking at this thread. But, because you are my friends, I will only ask half-price for additional looks. You can pay me via Paypal.

Dan, can we get a portrait of this guy?

It looks like he purposefully did that to his hair so you could snort lines of coke directly off of the top of his head.

The first cartoon is a line drawing, but most of them will be full paintings.

Are you gonna have to tone it down?

congrats dan!

this guy's terrible. do people actually like him or is it some kind of ironic wesley willis shit?

i actually like him

ok

I like outsider art, and while Dan isn't really an outsider artist, his stuff has the flavor of that stuff. Plus, he's demented in a very original and fun way.

I was just introduced to http://www.mysterygoogle.com/ , which gives you the search results of the person who used it before you rather than what you actually typed in, and the person previous had been looking for Dan's unicorn paintings. This cheered me

was wondering what you were up to; that one's great!

Thanks, I sort of like it as well.

There goes Dan, out there, bringin' the ruckus:

Birther Queen: Obama Persecuting Me with Placenta Painting!
— By Stephanie Mencimer| Tue May. 18, 2010 3:00 AM PDT

Orly Taitz, the queen bee of the birther movement, sounds distraught. “I’m going through hell,” she says. The California dentist-lawyer had called to tell me about what she says is a campaign to scare her family so that she’ll abandon her quest to become California’s next Secretary of State. She says she’s endured death threats and an attempt to tamper with her car. But this time, she says, her opponents have gone too far. The final straw? An elaborate oil painting of a nude Taitz, legs splayed, giving birth to… a pancake...

Orly Taitz to Subpoena Pancake Painter

— By Stephanie Mencimer
| Wed Jun. 9, 2010 4:00 AM PDT

Just because she's spent the past few months campaigning to become California's next secretary of state doesn't mean that "birther" queen Dr. Orly Taitz has given up her many court battles seeking to prove that President Barack Obama is not an American citizen. On May 19, Taitz filed a "motion to reconsider" in her mostly failed lawsuit against Obama in DC federal court. And one basis for the motion was none other than a Mother Jones article! Yes, Taitz told the court that she has discovered new evidence of "intimidation and harassment" against her in my story on Dan Lacey, the Minnesota "Painter of Pancakes," who has painted some nude portraits of Taitz giving birth to a pancake.

Taitz told me in May that her opponents have sent copies of the painting to her children and family along with threatening emails in what she believes was an attempt to scare her into dropping her insurgent campaign to be the GOP's candidate for California's secretary of state. She suspects that one of Obama's powerful allies commissioned the painting. I asked Lacey about that and he was cagey on the subject. So Taitz wants to subpoena him to force him to out his benefactor. She writes:

"Recent article by Washington burro (sic) correspondent Stephanie Mencimer shows that “artist” Dan Lacey, who painted despicable art work series “Birther Orly Taitz”, showing Taitz nude, with her legs spread, giving birth and holding bloody placenta, which were sent to her children, posted on the Internet and a local paper, did not work on his own accord. Dan Lacey admitted, that he was commissioned, paid by someone to do this, it was a clear attempt to intimidate Taitz and pressure her to withdraw as a candidate...Lacey refused to provide the reporter Stephanie Mencimer with the name of the person who hired him, who paid him, however during the depositions and upon subpoena this information will be available and will be provided to the court. At this time Taitz cannot state with certainty who paid Dan Lacey, however it is common knowledge, that Billionaire George Soros, one of the biggest backers of Obama, through his organization Moveon.org, has commissioned numerous artists to promote Obama and denigrate his opponents and critics."

Lacey, for his part, has responded with a YouTube video in which he promises to reveal the identity of the "puppetmaster" behind the Pancake Birther series, pixel by pixel, as part of his new legal defense fundraising. He promises to enter the name of anyone who donates $2.37 to the defense fund into a drawing to win the new painting, which will be awarded at a "Colors of Orly" art show fundraiser in Minneapolis on July 4th.

Dan, why are you on ALL of my favorite web forums? Here's $2.37 towards your defence.

holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit

this guy's rubbish

On your say-so? Pardon me while I don't mistake you for Robert Hughes etc.

knew he had made it big time when he was mentioned on tosh.0

That is an awesome hat.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

"...using only these two hands. And whatever paints happened to be on sale that week at Michael's."

Heh.

Thanks, guys.

looooooooool

keep up the good fight! taking a step back, the combination of 1) a legal battle between one http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg Taitz, who not only relentlessly presses forward on her absurd birther beliefs but is also somehow always on television and found some spare time to run for secretary of state, and Dan Lacey, renowned painter of, among other things, pancakes, with 2) a micro-transaction fundraising campaign based on a pixel-by-pixel reveal of the artist's greatest http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg painting of all, titled http://i46.tinypic.com/rt2713.jpg TAITZ: The Naked Pancake Truth...my mind is blown.

wait this is an actual real thing...?

oh my god

good luck, USA

Thanks!

If you happen to be in the Twin Cities area, I'll be having an Orly art show on the Fourth of July.

BPancake Obama is awes.

Noble pancake painter-of-the-stars Dan Lacey is doing his part to assist poor incarcerated hero maniac flight attendant Steven Slater—through art. Proceeds from this majestic insta-painting all go to Steven. Plus, see how nice it looks? Bid now. [EBay]

I was thinking today that I should go back and get Dan to paint a portrait of my dog
I still have no face chase on my wall

Steven Slater is an American hero tbh

Such a dog portrait would be worthwhile

what ever happened with the orly lady? was there more paintings of her? was the person who commissioned the paintings some big wig billionaire?

I said it was George Soros and I haven't heard from Orly since.

Yes, I would be honored to paint a portrait of your dog.
