http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007400185,00.html 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.”
