This is a painting I did over the top of a surplus silk portrait of Chou En Lai that I picked up for $20 at Archie McPhee's. I added acrylic paint, canvas swaths, india ink, taxidermist eyes, gloss medium, a blown up digital mouth printed on paper and glued to the portrait. On the jacket, which you can't see here, I added brass buttons (also more, communist surplus...they are from pre-breakup USSR military uniforms). I have another one on the same material of Karl Marx. Both these paintings are in my office at work. /jack
