Now Jonathan Yeo, has caused a stir in the US, where Republicans have attacked the work for being in poor taste.
A GOP spokeshack said: "This picture is very distasteful. Why would anyone want to make a picture of the President from pornographic material?" - Hello, excuse me. Is this Republican spokeshack deluded, or just from Texas?
The best bit is where Jonathon describes the problems he faced getting the raw materials for the portrait. "It was more complicated than I thought. To get the right skin tones for a man in his 50s, the healthy, tanned and airbrushed bodies of the top-shelf magazines were no good.
"I found more niche publications like Readers' Wives and naturist magazines captured the cooler tones required. And for the hair I eventually tracked down some German magazines that don't necessarily follow the Hollywood wax route."
Jesus, makes you wonder what kind of book stores this guy hangs out in. But then, it turns out he is the son of a former Tory back bencher! So... Say no more, wink, wink, etc.
