When a British artist was denied US backing to paint a portrait of President George Bush he decided to make an ‘alternative’ version - from images of porn.
Now Jonathan Yeo, 36, has caused a stir in the US, where Republicans have attacked the work for being in poor taste.
A Republican spokesman said: “This picture is very distasteful. Why would anyone want to make a picture of our President from pornographic material?”
Jonathan, son of former Tory backbencher Tim Yeo, told Metro: “To get the right skin tones for a man in his 50s the healthy, tanned and airbrushed bodies of the majority of top-shelf magazines were no good. …
And for the hair I eventually tracked down some German magazines that don’t necessarily follow the Hollywood wax route.”
