Impressive Mother T.
I had a half an hour explaining my Chase no Face painting on our mantle to my girl's parents over the holidays.
More game oriented stuff would sell like pancakes. Wherezat Fallobama?

Working on it...

Man, you're serious on the fallobama one!

lol one of my friends just linked the Obama-bear-unicorn pic on Facebook

Gawker's all about Dan Lacey right now. I think our little secret fave rave is going into Animal Collective territory pretty quick.

Meanwhile, at Somethingawful, they are saying, ILX who?

Decided to redo the first Fallout Obama painting; this is the acrylic underpainting of the newer version-almost finished.

I love the cute little birdies in the engines looking out dolefully.

As goons suggested, be careful to dole out the obama action in limited amounts, lest you swamp the market and run out of ideas too quickly

$610 x 365 = $222,650

Running out of ideas has never been a problem; just deciding which ones to develop. People are enthusiastic about the Obama unicorns, and I don't mind painting them, so I'll just continue until I get bored.

Love the nice, big hi-res pix. Really helps get across the feel: paint handling, texture, etc. Armband is a nice touch. Does it have special properties, or is it just an armband? Plus horse coat is genius! All the Obama nudes are excellent, but I especially love the planecrash one from a couple days back. Geese in the engines, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Rushmore, ghost of windshield strut showing thru may be an error but it totally saves the composition. Looks freaking GREAT. Plus topical and so damn fast!

You should do at least one super-detailed Unicorn mounted Obama nude as a project piece, to commemorate of otherwise observe the moment. History will be glad you did.

omg the hudson river one, omg omg omg

I KNOW! Plus I like how his butt is all pink and perky.

holee shit

Although in the standing 'corn one Obama looks more like Jack Webb.

I love yr paintings, Dan, but in truth, I love yr comics more.

I'd rather draw Faithmouse than paint. Maybe good things will happen for the cartoon as a result of all the publicity for the paintings.

Also, I agree-Obama's face looks a little too Jack Webby, so I'm giving him a repainting.

Dan, are you going to keep faithmouse as a more-or-less single panel thing, or do you want to expand out to a full strip or even a full/mini comic?

If nothing else, I would submit some of your pop star/celeb caricature drawing work to Mad & Cracked, see what they say.

I submitted both the celeb toons and Faithmouse to Mad during the past few years. Cracked folded as a magazine, but I sent them cartoons online anyway. The way I see it, if I can get a fair price for the paintings it should buy time to draw more cartoons.

I'm still drawing both single panel toons and also trying to commit myself time-wise to the adult side of the feature-

One more panel for this one...

Cracked's still out there as a site, tho.

They hired Jay Pinkerton, among others.

I noticed the Cracked blog is snarking Mad magazine for going to a quarterly.

just so very special.

Mr. Lacey, I just noticed one of your paintings in this web video:

Oh, that's fantastic. Thanks!

Dan Lacey, the Painter of Pancakes, Comes To Fleshbot

lol, I can see I'm going to have difficulty explaining why I'm looking at fleshbot at work.

don't you have an original??

A drive led by a conservative site to remove my art auctions from Ebay-

"Well, the more I thought about this just-plain-creepy stuff, the more upset I got about it. This is not really art; it’s just ego-indulgence on the part of the artist. Why in the world anyone would want to buy this is beyond me.
I’m going to watch Ebay carefully on this. If I don’t see any action by the end of the “Ugly Betty” auction (Friday afternoon), I’m going to saddle my horse, get my lance, and prepare to tilt at some windmills while I report this to the local authorities. (Whomever that may be; I’ll check into it tomorrow.)

Let’s put a little pressure on this dirtbag. Complain HERE, and complain often."

Wow, just wow at this fucking guy. What's his beef with you? Do you know him personally Dan? What an idiot.

In the second painting the unicorn and nude President Obama are apparently giving each other backrubs. It occurs to me as I write this the latent homo-eroticism just drips from the canvas, really.

latent

He's says he's going to report my Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn paintings to the police.

No, don't know him.

oh I hope he posts the transcript of his conversation with the police

Dan, based on the success of Fallout Obama, can you do Obama(or David Tennant or even The New Guy) sticking his head out of the Tardis to have a look around?

(extra points if you can have Obama meeting Jon Pertwee)
