Got Art America?

Michael Israel wants to know if you’ve “Got Art“, which I assume means he’ll to give it to anyone who will pay the admission price to one of his shows. Known for his ability to paint portraits in the same length of time as a four to five minute pop song, Mr. Israel has developed a deliciously unironic website for promotional purposes, and for what it is, a moderately compelling practice (I once saw him paint an Elvis head on TV…very enjoyable.) Notably in 2001, Britney Spears designed a paint splashed coat [below] for her Live From Las Vegas performance, her wardrobe now evocative of Michael Israel’s chest.

    This is my favorite thing ever. It’s just the logical conclusion of everything.

    Damn! Michael Israel is so cheeziliciously craptastic. I wish I hadn’t stopped painting, in fact I should start painting again just so I can stop again, but this time in honour of him.

    And another thing, no one should ever again refer to any painting style as ‘muscular’ unless the artist is super cut with washboard abs.
