Alex grey is my favorite artist. I am obsessed with his work. You can imagine that I would take him very seriously. I saw this awhile ago, and at first it made me excited. Just like obama made everyone excited at first, you know before he picked his cabinet. At the very beginning we were all high off of "we will get out of Iraq immediately" and false promises of stopping nafta and the Security and Prosperity partnership. But I think that we have to be political atheists in america. Politicians are in bed with the corporations and they barely hide it.
I think the messiah depiction of obama his completely laughable. It felt like I had a prank pulled on me when I saw all the crap obama went back on. There is barely a difference with these guys. Bush one sucked right, then clinton and gore get in, and they made it so all the corporations and banks were able to get away with all this looting. And! Democrats don't start wars, they smart bomb at night and tell us when its over. Clinton started the economic sanctions and bombing of Iraq, so everyone all both sides of the party lines wanted that war. And then he gets a bj so we can get bush's spawn. so obviously were not getting anywhere with this system.
And a big mind like alex grey should know that, alex grey should at least be mad at obama for continuing the drug war! because I know he has used illegal substances before and is advocate for legalization! I want an alternative picture Mr. Grey, give me a picture depicting obama's true nature being, influenced by those around him and being deceptive with his followers. And the title of the work, Anatomy of a world leader will makes anyone swoon over this false promise.

hi!
it aint that bad man lol
i feel ya though
imagine thought that Ob may be a metaphor
kinda like picturesque america
or symbolically all of us
i mean say he wanted to do
all of us with a big earth third eye light
comin out the middle of our foreheads
okay
so he cant do all of us, so maybe just one, the parallel opposite
obvious, then he wants it to have skin so its associated personally
because apparently this is a personal message for us
so doing a woman would just make it look all "mother earth"
doing just any white guy or black guy would seem racist
specifically doing any race would make it seem so 80's
this is an historical figure
what he does now will affect in a big way
he is in term during a wondrous time
alot of people identify with him, or atleast what he
represents, evenif only superficially
what is present, but dormant
a power
for peace
two other things, mr grey could have seen this as an opportunity
to have a politically relevant painting in a time
when politics is extremely relevant in all peoples lives
and the other thing, if he hasnt already, this may somehow give hime an opportunity to share his perspective with Ob
also, i love the symbolism of the red and blue veins, dems and reps, lol
right on...
I couldn't agree with you more! I hate feeling like I'm knocking Alex, because he is still my favorite...but I do like this modification better...it shows Obama'a truer nature. Then again, like Alex Grey said of the driver who ran him and Allyson off the road, 'unforgiveness is ungodly'.
That is true Alex...I'd like to call you out and tell us how you feel about the job this subject of yours is doing.
The REAL face behind the "Globalist Cabal"
I also am an admirer of Alex's & Allyson's work and have been to COSM many times over the years. I believe that Alex sincerely felt that there was some hope with Obama in office along with millions of others in and outside of America. I personally think that someone like Ron Paul or Jesse Ventura are the best candidates for this important fole to awake as many peiple as possible. Unfortunatelly the globalist groomed Obama is a salesman for their agenda and Alex Jones's "The Obama Deception" was amongst the first to point this out and for those that have not watched it I suggest that you do, and come to your own conclusions.

This is my take on a part of the cabal that manipulates Barry Sortero, they push this madness to be perpetrated against humanity....possible antichrist cabal? hmmmm
Most people are now aware that the h1n1 vaccine is riddled with toxins and this is like a bad twilight zone episode...eugenics at work...
Bush/Obama are wings on the same vulture and ever since the passage of the "Federal Reserve Act" of 1913 the presidency and congress has been hijacked by this cabal of eugenecist satanic bankers that are hell bent on power tripping ...
So in all fairness to Alex and his Obama depiction, I sense that he was trying to be as positive about this man as possible. After 8 years of Bu$h, it was meet the new boss same as the ol' boss...but we did get fooled again!!! Deep down Obama may be a decent person, father and husband...unfortunately he is only a puppet salesman for the NWO Illuminati banksters, and therefore is controlled by their dark agenda. If Obama truly wanted to be on the honest side of History he would hold a national press conference to expose who the shadow government is and rally the people to put an end to the madness. He would use his platform to truly wake the masses up before it's too late! now that would be "TRUE Change"...
I pray for the "soul of america" everyday, It is a country that I truly love, unfortunately it's government karma is NOT good (just look at its history and all of its wars against humanity). America as a whole needs MAJOR evolver healing NOW!!!...before it's too late....this is my humble opinion...Namaste!
I somewhat agree
I was recently exposed to Grey's work via the internet. He is indeed one of the most prominent visionary artist to date. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak on the topic of love and at the same time view some of his most prized physical paintings. His work is very moving, his book is insightful so one would assume that he puts time & thought into his works. "Anatomy of a World Leader" really sent me mixed messages. If Obama is supposedly this "Puppet", as many political interviewee's and documentary's proclaim, then how can he have any say in the decisions being made. If he is just a face than how could one be so naive to think that he has the best interest of the people at heart & the power to make decisions on a global scale. Then again i'm not involved in politic's in any way so I wouldn't be in a position to talk about what goes on at the "top".
could be
the painting is a reminder to obama and something good to aspire to....I wonder if he saw it...
Its somthing that could be if the old ways of thinking were wiped away...
I don't think hateing the government helps us any.....they're stuck in the same shit{$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$} we are only 10 fold
a painting like that can be freeing
that yes you can be a leader if you hold your head in peace.
I also have mixed feelings......
I have mixed feelings about alex touring so much to raise money for cosm....I'd rather see him painting or staying to help at cosm....I see cosm happening
but only as our old ways of thinking {$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$}
are wiped away
dreaming
I loved this painting when I first saw it, I think it shows that glorious patriotism we felt when he was elected, the feeling that finally we might be able to be proud of the representative of our country. So maybe the actual Obama is turning out to be a regular politician... but at least Alex captured that inspiring world leader we were dreaming about. :)
...
I think that Alex Grey will come to regret this one (but everyone gets a second chance man)...
Those stars and stripes emanating from his head and the world in his third eye is just too much... and I like the way his veins are... I guess that even the blood pumping in his veins is red-white and blue. Maybe he shits out little stars and stripes. Sorry guys, I couldn't resist. And Alex Grey is a really cool guy.
Even if I was Obama I don't think I would like it. Who wants to live up to that?
But hey, it's probably all just because I hate Obama because I'm a racist.
..also
While we're on the subject,
I'm also weirded out by the images of Obama as the joker.
I saw the Joker in the The Dark Knight as more in resonance with the 'conspiracy theorist', and batman as more in resonance with the illuminati or New World Order.
The joker's home videos model after the internet, do-it-yourself nature of the opposition, and I especially love that scene where the joker burns the big pile of federal reserve notes, denying it's power. That really strikes it home.
And what about that scene where batman uses that secret device with all the screens (even though he knows its morally wrong) to find the joker? All seeing eye anybody?
It's all part of the plan, man.
OPEN LETTER TO ALEX GREY
Dear Alex Grey,
I have long admired your work, and I know that I will continue to do so even till the day I pass on...it has been food for my soul.
I must ask you, like many others have...why in the world did you paint that God-Awful Obama portrait? Why Alex?...why???
I'm puzzled! You surely must realize by now that it is just standard procedure for public office candidates to lie or 'butter up' their promises to get into office. Its clear for all to see that you were one of the millions taken in by a mans charismatic way of speaking. So far, after all that Obama has NOT done, do you really think that he is a major step beyond the Bush administration?
I don't need to tell you the details of how the world is going to hell in a handbasket and that Obama is simply one of those numbers who are aiding and abetting these worlds catastrophes. You're not just a creative genius Alex, your intelligence knows no boundaries, so I need to trust that a man of severely high standing like you is aware of all this.
I look at your 'Gaia' portrait, and I think to myself, Alex man, did you vote for a man who didn't take the oil industry by the balls when he had the chance, but allowed the deregulations by the previous administrations to stand?
You probably got into the 'groupthink' idea that Obama will be a fresh face on the scene, and a fresh 'face' he is indeed...but nothing more than a 'face'. The soul of the strongman and slave master is still in DC and on WallStreet Alex...and I don't see this darkness relenting anytime soon. We need to understand that there is, fundamentally, nothing unique about Obama. Nothing at all.
I wish I could agree with some who say that things are improving, but I'm not so optimistic Alex. As 'realistic' as we may fancy ourselves to be, we are too often prone to fall into idle minded optimism without our feet grounded, or pessimistically ground down in the circumstances of our anger and dismay at the insanity of our fellow humans.
I have some subject ideas for your painting genius.
A painting of a healthy Gulf of Mexico, clean and clear and full of all sorts of life...no oil rigs allowed in the painting either. You can even paint the birds so that there's no trace of crude on them.
How about a painting of Chinese military personnel a peace ceremony with the Tibetans. The Tibetans can even be depicted reading the Book of The Dead to the dying chinese police too!
A painting of Israeli Jews and Palestinians at a huge table having a feast of peace, doves flying everywhere, no guns or tanks anywhere in sight. You can even throw in Noam Chomsky and Norman Finklestein mixed in with Netanyahu and Alan Dershowitz, sharing Jewish delicitessen delights with the Palestinians. While you're at it, paint the Dalai Lama in front of Jesus Christ in there too for some added peace. Make sure you put in some Tuvan throat singers and Len Horowitz and Jonathan Goldman in for good measure.
And for all the trippers out there, who really need legal weed, shrooms, DMT and acid...what say Alex Grey paint a picture of a newly elected Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinik in his presidents office, signing the recently passed bill to fully legalize above said hallucinogens?
Wouldn't that be great?
Think on these things Alex, before you use your great powers of creativity and imagination to depict a man who has absolutely no use towards our healing of this sickened world. Obama is not going to do anything...it's about time people see that.
Rather than focusing your efforts on painting hallucinogenic gurus (a worthy endeavor in the past), focus on the people on the street who are working for greater freedoms, greater healing of this planet...do it Norman Rockwell style, you know, a nice 'chakras wide open' fanfare for the common man.
My admiration for your work is endless Alex. Just realize that there are better subjects of your amazing attention than a deceiving politician whose wife likes Sex In The City.
A future subject for consideration too...a picture of Dr. Ron Paul delivering Zena's baby...in the oval office (hey, get it?...oval?), with you and Allyson standing by watching in awe at the birth of your new crystal grandchild...I'd actually buy that one too!
God bless you Alex, and I pray that you and Allyson have recovered from that accident you got into.
yes i was also very
yes i was also very disappointed to see alex grey promoting obama. i have always loved his paintings and would spend money on them, but i would not buy a book with this picture in it. obama may be a lesser evil (though i doubt it), but even if he is, one of the lessons that the psychedelic state has helped me learn is that to give authority to any political figure today is to deny the true divine power within you to govern your own actions. i believe we should disregard all political figures, abandon the war-based old peoples society as the obsolete machine that it is, and awaken our true power as individuals. I consider myself to be my own President, and I extend that respect to each of my fellow humans equally. I would like to see Alex Grey become his own President as well, rather than exalting a man (clone/robot/lizard?) whom we really know nothing about.
