You may laugh. You may vomit. You won't believe it. Presenting: Breitb-art. For $4,000. [View all]

Via Tbogg:

This is a real thing:

36? x 48? giclee on canvas, stretched and glazed (ONLY 43 numbered and artist autographed editions will be made available; when they’re gone, they’re gone!)
...
Andrew would happily fight people, organizations and governments with tooth, fang and claw if he sensed any anti-American BS. David Bugnon’s piece captures Breitbart’s essence as a contrarian: confident and geared-up.

Make room on your wall for a limited edition reproduction of Bugnon’s painting. We should all emulate the moxie Andrew perfected for that which is just and true. Hang your print by the front door so as you depart your house and dive into the cultural trenches you will be ever mindful, thanks to Andrew’s example, that there are things worth scrapping for—and America’s founding documents are definitely one of them.


…and now, the punchline:

Price:
$3,999.95

A Tbogg commenter points out 'giclee' is a marketing term for ink-jet printing.

It reminds me of the painting from Ghostbusters 2:

but a bit creepier.
