Dan Lacey The Painter Of Pancakes

Seven Paintings Revised

2012-01-25T03:35:00.001-05:00

I probably shouldn't be left alone too long with my paintings because I'll rework them until the cows come home. Here are seven paintings which had issues no one else seemed to notice. More than anything, they just needed another hour or two of work to create better overall integrity.

The late Kim Jong Il now has fancier pancake hair.

A more dramatic dramatic prairie dog. The burst of blue behind the head is now the source of the blue at the bottom of the painting.

More detail for Michele Bachmann's pancake corndog. Need to add this to the Art Of Bachmann blog. This may be the final painting in that series.

Second of three revised Kim Jong Il pancake hair paintings. I painted all four Kim's on an all night post-death mourning freak.

More detail for my Pope John Paul II pancake. Consider this a color sketch for a future much-more-developed John Paul pancake portrait, similar to my Mother Teresa pancake painting from a few years ago.

Kim #3.

This recent I Like Turtles zombie kid painting made its way around Tumblr before I had the chance to thin the left side of Jason's face. I'll probably exchange the turtles print currently on Ebay for this version, which has more energy.

Hard Times Obama Pancake Painting, in progress

2012-01-21T15:10:00.002-05:00

A new painting of Barack Obama with a pancake on his head, started while acting as my wife's harp roadie while she presented a series of concerts in Northern Minnesota. I call this painting 'Hard Times Obama'-

Basic color areas, not much specific detail although it looks fine in the photo. I'm not even sure how big this painting is in the canvas pad-it was a size I could comfortably paint while riding in a car. Happy to be back in the Twin Cities where it is a comfortable -1.

A New Obama 'Quarterback Sneak' Unicorn Painting Begun

2012-01-17T04:00:00.000-05:00

Using the image addresses from the uploaded Facebook for these photos, something I haven't tried before, so if they fall off the edge of the world in time that would be why-

http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/401664_10150532496488258_505478257_8731788_1852334005_n.jpg">http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s320x320/401664_10150532496488258_505478257_8731788_1852334005_n.jpg" border="/a">

All oil for this painting with no underpainting, which is how I've painted almost of the previous Obama unicorns. Pictured from top left are Mitt Romney, Penelope the unicorn, Naked Batman Obama, and Madonna. Superbowl themed, although hard to tell at this point. Mitt is standing on a goalpost, and Obama is attempting a quarterback sneak.

If you'd like to follow the progress of this painting I'll update it regularly on Facebook-easier to do so when you don't have to code.

Three New Male Nude Paintings, Two Revised

2012-01-11T16:22:00.001-05:00

Three new male nude paintings. Two were painted a few days ago and recently revised-

A painting of a nude with legs in the air. Sort of an oil wash feel to this one.

With weights.

A little hard to photograph the painting above because of the iridescence-

A little better view. All of the paintings above are 8 by 10 oil and/or acrylics on a sheet of canvas. They can be easily framed in any photo ready frame, only with the glass removed and perhaps an extra piece of backing cardboard to keep the painting held firmly in place.

Fabulous John F. Kennedy Painting by the late Rua Longley

2012-01-11T05:24:00.005-05:00

A fan in Australia (I have a number of fans in Australia, which is good) recently sent me this email after winning my Rick Santorum Pancakes painting on Ebay-

Hi, Dan - Just got back from Tasmania and was thrilled to see your Obama painting had arrived...it is taking pride-of-place next to my Weird Kennedy painting my mums friend knocked out in 1965.

-which made me curious. I remembered when I was interviewed by the New York Times a few years ago, I mentioned that I thought the Obama art explosion was a contemporary re-phenomena of the comparative Kennedy folk art boom of the 1960's, the latter being a natural extension of the Catholic predilection for iconic imagery. The writer agreed with that and worked it into the story. So, I very much wanted to view this unknown Kennedy painted by an unknown Australian or New Zealand artist.

Hey Dan hope you like this pair...have to find an appropriate frame for Obama, can't wait to get some Santorum on my wall, I'm watching events develop here in Australia and get a good laugh every day from all the candidates.

Hope you dig the Kennedy, it's been in my family since 1965, I grew up in New Zealand with Jack on one wall, and on the other wall was a sinking ship painting called the Wahine.

Wow!

After another request, my Australian friend was good enough to forward an even better photo-

Here it is Dan... the artist name is "Rua Longley" passed on about five years ago. You can notice a slight tinge in the right hand side that's where my drunk uncle tried to throw it into the fire-place...those Kennedy's are hard to burn.

Thank You, Rua Longley.

Large Michael Jackson Blue Eyes Painting

2012-01-11T00:17:00.000-05:00

A large 'blue' 24 by 36 inch 2 by 3 foot painting of Michael Jackson. This same painting was bought but never purchased by a buyer in France a month and a half ago. Since then I've spent some additional time on the canvas, so at $100 it's an even nicer value-

You can see how large the painting actually is in the photo above by comparing it to the quart bottle of acrylic at the far left.

The painting is mailed in a sturdy, handmade foamboard mailer. Shipping is 20 US or 30 International, which is below my actual cost. The canvas is stapled on the back and painted black around the edge, so a frame isn't necessary.

Male Nude Muscle Bodybuilder Back Painting Art Auction

2012-01-05T07:12:00.000-05:00

A painting of the back of a male nude in something of a bodybuilder pose. As with all of my male nude art, this is a self portrait.

Muscles courtesy of necessity.

A similar painting from a few years ago has landed on page 1 of GIS for male nude painting which I'm grateful for. For the term male nude art I have a painting which comes up either 4 or 7 depending upon the safety seach setting.

Usually when I'm feeling boxed in by committments I can quickly produce some better nudes, I think because of the psychological release within the realization that I can be more painterly when I feel I'm not trying to please anyone in particular.

By far, most people discover my paintings by way of Google and Google Image Search. I recieve a good amount of international attention for my nudes, which I try to help people find by using translated terms such as Nudité Akt Nackt Nu Nudo Ню Desnuda Ню, etc. Lately I've been forcing myself to post auction items on Ebay for at least 7 days to give more people a chance to stumble upon the originals. I'm particulary grateful for the many posts of my paintings by Russians, who have a continuing appreciation for the form. Я особенно благодарен моим мужчина ню, которые были размещены в России, например, мой "на корточках обнаженной", которые можно увидеть в компиляции на ЖИВОПИСЬ О ЖИВОПИСИ ( Paintings on Painting). You can find a number of additional posts in Russian regarding my paintings by searching Dan Lacey художник in Google.ru.

The painting posted above is for auction on Ebay, with a starting bid of .99.

A Painting of Rick Santorum With Pancakes On His Head Art Auction

2012-01-02T06:32:00.001-05:00

A portrait of Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum with a pair of pancakes on top of his head-

This is my second portrait of the former Pennsylvania Senator with delicious pancakes. My Santorum Family Pancakes painting from a few years ago appears now and then on sites such as Fark.

This original painting is for auction on Ebay, listed at a starting price of .99 cents.

UPDATE Jan 6th - I revised the painting, adding more detail.

Thanks to the South Carolina Hotline for posting my Santorum art. Thanks also to the New World Order update.

Two Male Nude Paintings Art Auctions

2012-01-02T06:20:00.000-05:00

Two new male nude portraits painted early this morning. As with all of my male nudes, these are self-portraits.

A male nude posing in front of a canvas-

A second male nude painting, this time squatting down while looking in a cabinet-

Male Nude Back Art -Ebay Art Auction

I painted both at the same time, but each has a different feel. The 'bottom' painting is oil painted into a white white undercoat, while the first painting is a combination of acrylic and oil applied together.

I've been painting and selling larger discount canvases at a set price, which is allowing me post the auctions for a longer period of time. As with many of the auctions, I'll go in and revise the paintings here and there in a few days, which is probably what I'll do with these two.

Large Blue Michael Jackson Eyes Painting

2011-12-27T05:26:00.000-05:00

A large 'blue' painting of Michael Jackson's eyes with reference to show the scale of the painting.

Again, not the best pic; not showing small detail and somewhat color corrected to counteract the yellow interior light..I'll try another photo later today in natural sunlight-

Two Cats With Pancakes

2011-12-26T22:02:00.000-05:00

"The painting was a giant hit! Everyone loved it. I cannot believe how beautiful it is. Thank you for the magnets and prints as well. I absolutely LOVE the Paula Dean portrait!! I totally forgot to remind you to post to your blog but if it's not too much trouble, can you post it to your blog anyway? My 16 year old son wants to show his friends at school and the easiest way would be for him to forward your blog web address to his friends to let them see the masterpiece there." - Michaele

Unfortunately, I was so focused on getting the finished commission to Michaele in time for Christmas that I neglected to take a final photo. This is what the painting looked like in progress. Imagine with additional color, detail, and whiskers-

A 'blue' painting of Tim Tebow

2011-12-26T02:06:00.002-05:00

A large 24 by 36 inch 2 by 3 foot 'blue' painting of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow. By commission.

Jonathan Davis KoRn Pancakes

2011-12-22T01:38:00.001-05:00

A painting of Jonathan Davis of the musical group KoRn with corn covered pancakes on his head. On one of the pancakes, the word 'KORN' is written. It is written in kernels of corn.

Mr. Davis recently expressed the opinion that Barack Obama is of the Illuminati. That has nothing to do with anything.

By commission.

Doctor Ron Paul Golden Pancake Portrait

2011-12-10T19:17:00.000-05:00

Just discovered that the display image, originally posted using bloggeroid, came up AWOL on my Ron Paul Golden Pancake portrait post from earlier this year. It was one of my better pancakes, and not just that but I also neglected to include the painting in my 2011- The Year In Pancakes compilation, an oversight since corrected. With the addition of 'The Paul' and the recent painting of Claire Smyth's taxidermy fox pancake, the 2011 year in review now totals 64 paintings. Mostly of these paintings are of news figures, but a few are of not-quite-as-famous friends and commissions, a handful are cats with pancakes on their heads, and some do not feature pancakes at all but other food products. Let's say I'm not always in a pancake mood. A rework of Kenny Hotz's pancake portrait from a few months ago will be included shortly.

The original portrait was spoken for, but I've placed a print of 'The Paul' up on Ebay for anyone who may be interested in a last-moment Christmas present. The prints are $20 on canvas and include a handsome refrigerator magnet of a past painting. I have a number of select prints listed on Ebay ( and a few originals as well ) but any of my former paintings are available as a canvas art print.

Obama Unicorn Nativity Painting

2011-12-05T08:35:00.002-05:00

A new Barack Obama & Penelope the Unicorn painting, celebrating this most special season. This unique piece of art also features Baby Jesus in a manger, who is visibly overwhelmed by the unexpected display of reverence.

This original painting is certain to become a family heirloom for the lucky bidder; unpacked with reverence each holiday season and displayed in a position of honor.

The original of this painting was recently auctioned on Ebay; however-I've made the image available as $20 canvas art print. Free shipping and a matching refrigerator magnet are included in your order-

This is my second painting in as many years in the theme of Barack Obama, unicorns, and Christmas. Last year I posted this painting, which was based upon a childhood memory of when my father, drunk on PM brand liquor and having trouble untangling the Christmas tree lights, decided to stomp them to death instead.

The painting above was purchased by a fellow in Argentina.
This painting is in Argentina.
