dan that chase is wonderful!

someone fucking buy it already

Two paintings I am unable to sell-

John McCain.

Chase the Cat.

I am so glad there is no faceless McCain blog.

Chase no Face.
McCain no Brane.

Dan, could you handle trying a faceless McCain?

oh god

If you're painting these in a the lobby of a horse track, does that also include the NSFW ones?

Not anything inappropriate, but someone has asked me to paint a old west type Gay 90's showgirl stretched out saucily on a divan while holding a tiny umbrella, so I might do that.

Yeah, do that.

okay, you've won my heart over.

That is such a perfect frame, Dan.

Thanks. I've invented an excuse to go junk-store shopping.

Lots of fun; buy a weird frame and ask yourself 'what sort of funky picture belongs in here?'

how much is it for chase teh cat

60 plus 10 mailing stateside or 27 mailing overseas, which is what they charge. Chase is pictured on a 16 by 20 inch stretched canvas.

omg, i love that dude is painting memes

I defs am gonna buy a Lacey original painting someday – I just can't figure out what of.

yr in the twin cities, right dan? i'm gonna vet my finances and see if i can afford that cat

I'll knock it down to forty for you, and you can save ten bucks by picking it up at the racetrack in person.

If GBX doesn't take it, please email me at my name at gmail.com and I will.

also, Dan this is likely mentioned upthread, but do you have an ebay storefront somewhere?

is that pancakes or a quality double hamburger on top of her head??

problems with the double hamburger theory:

-no extra toppings
-thin layer of beef, could be pre-made/frozen
-extra layer of bread seems like an insult to self-respecting dbl burgermen

-i forget the rest but i think its a poor drawing

deezcakes

Did no face chase sell?

Dan, are you familiar with "outsider art"?

so its clearly pancakes then

Outsider art, absolutely. I'm a big Darger fan.

I think my paintings are outright Kitsch. I wouldn't even say they're sophisticated enough to be considered Lowbrow. The cartoons are in a different category.

what is meant by the pancake on top of the head

is it a symbolic representation of the flattening of the personal id by the steamroller of the american ego

i dont know what id or ego mean btw just wondering

Are you familiar at all with Daniel Johnston? I guess the comparison is fairly superficial, but he does sort of seem to have a similar mix of cartoonishness, fundamentalist religiosity and obscenity.

you could say that again

I've heard of him.

You are absolutely nuts, mathematics, and wrong. Daniel Johnston has virtually nothing in common with Dan Lacey. DJ is a high-functioning retard, sadly over-exploited for the amusement of hipsters worldwide. Lacey, on the other hand, is extremely intelligent and amazingly talented. While his politics may not be 100% in line with hipster ideology today, it's impossible to pigeonhole him as a claw-fisted savant, incapable of realistically engaging modern culture. Dan's art is complex, whimsical, topical, and generally amazing. "Daniel Johnston" ought occur in no discussion of Dan Lacey.

what is meant by the pancake on top of the head

i'm guessing it has something to do with this:

according to dan lacey it has something to do with the flattening of the personal id by the steamroller of the american ego
