Smart-ass Art

Searching crowdfunding pages, I stumbled upon a Political figure. Mrs. Nancy Pelosi in a pink dress. She looks quite well, even with the pink mask covering her mouth and nose. And there are a few more figures, all of them from the democratic side of the political spectrum. On another site, I spotted Mr. Trump’s image supposedly in the form of quite an ugly doll with a face I would never recognize as the image of the “Stable Genius” Anyway, somehow, it passed the test for others because I see quite many buyers. Intrigued, I checked google for images of more of Mr. Trump’s dolls. And there is plenty of them, quite frankly with faces bearing No or minimal resemblance of our hero. But people still are attracted. I myself was thinking about making a small sculpture resembling our Lysol salesman aka stable Genius as Sumo Fighter with the name:” The Rage,” but the long time effort needed to bring in buyers would not be aligned in time with the spectacle of political theatre bringing in the fans, what apparently are using entrepreneurs advertising political “Action heroes.”

Checking more I see that not every effort trying to capitalize on the political grotesque succeeded because I see 6 other attempts to sell the same subject but all of them appear too ugly in terms of the inability of the creators to do good design. Only Trump Troll Dool succeeded.
