Florida-based artist Scott Scheidly, has released this hilarious set of images entitled 'Pink' which turns notorious bad guys and leaders into effeminate gay icons.
The hilarious images feature everyone from 'emo Hitler' who is sporting purple streaks in his hair as well as some ear plugs to the controversial depiction of the former pope, with a crucifix-shaped earring dangling from his left ear. The series even depicts classic bad guy, Clint Eastwood, from 'The Good, Bad and the Evil' movie in a purple cape.
The hilarious oil paintings are all framed by an ultra-girlie, bright pink plastic frame that really sets them off. This is an ongoing series by the satirical artist. You can check out his latest offerings over at his official website.
