If that is the new Barbara Bush stamp I request an explanation. It looks like her head in a lab specimen jar. Creepy.

This work was inspired by 17th-Century Still Lifes, (which often featured critters, like the mouse, and if you look closely, there’s a butterfly too) and the unofficial Barbara Bush obituary written by Jim Earl, in his Mourning Remembrance mocking obituaries page and book. I’ve created several other works inspired by Jim Earl that will be published in his second edition of the book, coming soon.

No, that is not the new stamp, it is a close up/crop of my artwork, Barbara Bush In a Jar (2025). If you’d like you can request a signed print of the full piece. Please see the post on my page where you”ll find the full image. (Link below).

I see there is a dead mouse too. What inspired the picture? I am curious.

Wondering how much she was paid? She’s only in the spotlight when she’s paid.

Yeah, you'd think so, right? tRump and the gold gilted 747….. that HAS to be satire! I'm just kinda suggesting we are in a really weird time and the normal rules don't apply much. Safe, sorry, blah, blah .. ya know?

Yes, good point, profoundly absurd and disturbing times for sure. All deserving of criticism and mockery.

It’s pretty obvious that it’s satire

You'd think so, right? I mean a gold gilted 747 for tRump sounds like it would HAVE to be satire, right? I'm kind of suggesting that it's a really weird time and normal rules don't apply. Safe, sorry blah blah.
