It's Judith beheading Holofernes for raping her. Make of that what you will.

 

I actually like this guys style and I also like the leafy garden paradise theme he went with for Obama. I could go full art analysis and why all of this is probably significant, but all in all I like that one. I don't think he did Michelle justice though.

As for the sperm....you had an entire vine background to work with and you decide to go with wierd buldge on his face instead? Come on!

Shhhhh.   Don't go bringing up art and history into a biased, emotionally fueled, context lacking hit thread. 

Ugh...sorry, I studied art and illustration. It's a reflex by this point. Can't.....turn....it....off. :(
