I like Barack Obama; I suspect his presidency will be a profoundly good thing for both the US and its allies. But Alex Grey's rendering strikes me as self-parodic and creepily messianic, the stuff of dystopian fever-dreams.
As regards "leading to the downfall of the USA", I think Bush pretty much cornered that market. The picture itself is crazy, like seeing Obama through the eyes of a NWO paranoniac like David Icke!
Hey Mac..hope you don't mind a shameless plug for a kindred spirit. I can't remember where you live,but I know you get about a bit.Jeff Wells is having a book launch at Conspiracy Culture in Toronto Wednesday Dec 17, 7 to 9 pm. The address is 1696 Queen St. W. Toronto. I know he likes your work - it would be fantastic to see a five minute conversation between the two of you.
I'd love to go! I've never seen Toronto, and it's definitely on my list. Unfortunately, I'm in Kansas City, Missouri and don't see how I can possibly make it.
I reckon Barack will lead to the downfall of the USA...

Another example of why I don't care for Alex Grey's work.
