fuckyeahmarkryden: The Birth of Venus, by Mark Ryden. (Oil on panel, 1998). “When I painted Abraham Lincoln lying on the ground giving birth from his cheek to the baby Venus delivered by Colonel Sanders I thought that was pretty original. I had at first envisioned it as Colonel Sanders giving birth to Abraham Lincoln, but upon the realization that had been done several times I cleverly added my unique twist.” (Juxtapoz Magazine, 1998).
