Bijijoo, laut Eigenauskunft ein in Portland, Oregon lebender Biophysiker und Ölmaler, hat alle 43 US-Präsidenten mit einem Schinken im Arm portraitiert. Die Präsidenten kann man sich wahlweise auf seiner Webseite The Presidential Ham oder seinem Flickr-Account anschauen, wo sich u.a. noch ein Schinken-Gandhi tummelt.
The forty-three Presidential Portraits are composed of oil painted on panel, and will be varnished, matted, and framed in ... handmade wooden frames. The Portraits serve to commemorate the personalities, historical narratives, and legacies of the Presidents. The portraits took about six months to complete and were finished in mid-June 2010. All the Presidents are currently in my basement drying ... The Presidents will debut during the month of February 2011 (in celebration of President’s Day) at the Basil Hallward Gallery at Powell’s City of Books in Portland, Oregon. Such a Presidential tableau may spark a sense of curiosity and patriotism in even the most hardened of hearts."(via this isn't happiness)
