Justine Lai
According to Justine Lai,
“In Join Or Die, I paint myself having sex with the Presidents of the United States in chronological order. I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives.”
(you can click on each one of the paintings to see it in its original size)
You can already begin to anticipate the media circus that will cloud around Lai when she reaches the point in this series in which she depicts hereself screwing all of the living President, especially Obama… via FromFiftyFive

darling, you have some troubles
I like it
What a shame!!!! I’m not US president….
Good job. Kisses.
No respect for the highest office in the United States of America…
You should be escorted out of the country… You are no American. Youi
must be planted in From Communist China… I believe in free expression…
But come on… Sex with Jesus next… Doesn’t anybody have any
respect for anything????? When they deport you…I will wave when they
put u on the ship to Russia or China…. Get a life… You made yourself
a name… and now every American , I say true American should see u deported…
Get out of the country please….We don’t need idiots like you…
Settle down there you crazy McCarthyist redneck (ibi001)… Back in the old USSR, they actually would’ve said exactly the same thing you’re saying. What you’re saying actually IS the most un-American thing anyone could say. Don’t say you believe in free expression because you OBVIOUSLY don’t. Commie countries are the first one to censor this type of thing, just like you.
Sorry to break it to you ibi001, but in essence this blog is all about featuring stuff that we like, without taking ourselves (or anyone else for that matter) too seriously. At the same time, I have to agree with coco that you can’t really be too much for freedom of expression if you are reacting to Lai’s work the way that you are.
What I personally like about Lai’s work, is that it pushes us to question stuff that we would normally take for granted.. Should we really be as submissive to the highest office in the US of A just because that’s what we’ve been taught? Or should I be the one to remind you that this was the same office that tricked us all to believe and support the wrongful invasion of Iraq, because of their global threat of having nonexistent WMDs, a couple years back?
I think it’s wonderful work. Consider this — if the faces were not recognizable as past presidents, this work would be considered merely beautiful rather than controversial. I love how it draws these men out of the mists of legend and returns them to humanity.
I like that Lincoln enjoys oral.
anyone who gets offended by this is hilarious. LMAO at ibi001. someone tell her to draw herself felating jesus, just to spite this guy.
Lol@people who bitch at ibi001
Successful troll is successful.
It was quite shocking to stumble upon this page. However is was shocking I must say that howmow has taken it too far. To draw oneself felating jesus would be a disgrace to billions of people.
So, uh. Is there anal? Ass-to-mouth? Giant splurping cumshots? Are there any First Ladies involved? Because, like, Jackie O, oh, ohhhhhhhh!
Oh, and Izzy:
In Soviet Union, Jesus fellates YOU!
Can’t wait till she gets to Clinton.
Well you tell me what’s more offensive to YOU. Me boning the brains out of your mother who gave birth to you, or your beloved Jesus?
At least she is not a guy.
And then I wana see Carter eating the peanuts out of your poo.
well… that’s some retarded art right there. I don’t mind, really, I just wish she could manage something more interesting. Either a. she actually thinks this is worthwhile art, in which case I pity her, or b., she thinks this will get her media coverage, in which case I deplore her cravenness, but acknowledge that she is right.
I wish she had bigger tits. If she did I would run for president.
this is amazing…i enjoy it. And i get the humanizing of these mythical men, but one must admit that this art has some high shock value to it. And that is what sells it. Not some kind of inner meaning.
