After the Bush Library reportedly backed out of a portrait they had commissioned from British artist Jonathan Yeo, the 36-year-old artist went forward with one anyway, a collage created from fragments of 100 porn magazines.

The work was unveiled yesterday at London's Lazarides Gallery in Soho.

According to the gallery, "Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush, but was later told his services were not required. He decided to continue the commission on his own, and Tuesday’s unveiling will reveal the fruit of his labours. In a few weeks time we will be releasing a limited edition screen print of the Bush collage."

Controversial artist ... Jonathan
A spokesman for Republicans Abroad International attacked the artwork.

He said: “This will cause outrage in America. Some people will think it’s funny — but personally I think it is a cheap stunt.”

A spokesman for the Republican Party in Mr Bush’s home state of Texas said: “This picture is very distasteful. Why would anyone want to make a picture of our President from pornographic material?”

Yeo unveiled the portrait at the Lazarides Gallery in London’s Soho and said: “I did it for fun, not to offend, but I’m pleased with it. I did it to amuse.”

That's one way to make porn truly offensive to everyone!

3. As long as they're all clippings of pictures of assholes, then it's fine.
Although, it does besmirch sphincters and sullies their reputation as hard-working orifices to have them used merely to make a portrait of the biggest asshole on the planet.
