The piece isn’t very flattering and Madge and Guy were said to be livid when it was unveiled in 2007.
The artwork is set to fetch $35,000 when it goes under the hammer at McTear’s auction house in Glasgow on Saturday, May 30.

Tegel created posters of Lohan and various other celebs that will be presented in an exhibit, ‘Name That ‘Toon, that opens at Hollywood’s World of Wonder Storefront Gallery March 27th.
Los Angeles-based artist Ben Tegel created his latest Lohan-inspired work as a poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room. The piece portrays the classic, American Gothic, with Lindsay and girlfriend Samantha Ronson as the Ma & Pa. “Lindsay and Sam are the all-American couple for the 21st century,” Tegel said. “I call it American Sapphic.”
Of his art, Tegel says,
“I seem to have some sort of fixation with her. She, along with Britney, I suppose, embodied the fin-de-siecle celebrity archetype. Her child-star-turned-drug-addict-turned-lesbian narrative seems to sum up the way fame operates in the 21st Century. I’m really interested to see what happens in the next chapter of her character’s storyline.”
Other Tegel creations include ‘Rehabville’ featuring Pete Doherty, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and of course, Amy Winehouse. The piece was created for Flaunt magazine.
The most daring poster was also created for the Viper Room and again stars Lohan. But this time the actress is portrayed as skin and bones in an alley smoking a crack pipe. Watch the video to see it!

Kinda random, but, to go with the theme of the nation – how about one of the Presidential or Vice Presidential nominees?
Or Jamie Lynne in honor of her newest edition?
Or Lohan’s girlfriend (if you’re going for scary)?
One of the Presidential candidates was just perfect! I might even have to do a Sarah Palin. But I am totally LOVING the idea of doing a Samantha Ronson as well!
Have an idea for a chicken scratch sketch? Let me know!
Artist Daniel Maltzman created this painting of Britney Spears to sell for charity.
The oil painting will be auctioned to raise money for The Promises Foundation, a charity which helps low-income mothers and their children.
The original painting, which stands at 4′x5′, is signed by the pop princess and is already at $12,200.

Sorry I haven’t done any of these in awhile. I only do them when I’m in the mood, and I obviously haven’t felt like it lately. Thought you guys would enjoy this one.
I always love Valentine’s Day because the celebrity gossip blogging artists go all out with their faux-Valentines.
This year is no different..

It’s all about Beckham, baby!
Controversial sculptor and artist Daniel Edwards’ latest creation is the ‘The Oprah Sarcophagus’, a bronze sculpture made in the likeness of Queen Oprah herself.
The full figured Oprah is depicted as voluptuous and strong, although some think the statue is in poor taste due to it being ‘unflattering’. (Unflattering? Bitch would love to have those titties!) Others say it doesn’t look anything like her. Who knows what they are talking about because I think the statue is dead-on! Have you ever seen Oprah without makeup? It’s totally her.
Edwards is the same sculptor who created the Britney ass-baby sculpture as well as the dead Paris Hilton spread eagle piece. Genius!
