Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.
At first, I kind of understood how it could be seen as unflattering but changed my opinion when I learned that her money came from mining, the painting is far too kind. As someone who grew up where mining was part of the culture, fuck her and every other mine owner.
All her money came from her father. What makes it worse is that she ended up suing her own children to get their inheritance that her father left them.
She also says horrible things about people who aren’t rich.
The article uses a flattering posed photo of her, too. Here is a candid shot.
Lol it is the drawn form of wRitINg lIKe tHiS
My favorite part is that she hasn’t been singled out at all, and that hers is simply one of many portraits done in the same style.
As far as I know, she’s the only one that has raised a stink about it. Which is why her portrait needs to be put on t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and every other medium for widespread, ongoing appreciation of what the artist was able to capture so accurately.
It looks just like her, I don’t know why she’s mad.
