The fact that nobody at all has commented on this for several hours now is a clear sign of understandably "checking out" for the holiday weekend. I mean, a few of the hair follicle details alone merits some kind of creative praise - or self-induced vomiting at the very least. Right?

(debated on how fired I'd get for even peeping this earlier + unfortunately burned parts of the Tiger landscape into my retina trying to figure it out anatomically)

All I can say is BRILLIANT! I bet Tiger would buy that if his wife would let him - I mean who wouldn't want a porn portrait?

Porntrait, nice!

Get real. The executions is nice on this. But brilliant? This genre of creative expression has persisted through the ages, so one would have to be born under a rock, or viaduct, not to recognize the conventional and cliched derivation.

Heck, the DAM has Summer, by Giuseppe Arcimboldo. It's one example of the genre. He was an expert at it, too. The Surrealists recognised his genius and adopted him as the "father of Surrealism" for his inventiveness. He painted in the 1500's. I think Lascaux even has some examples as well.

So briliant, no. I say, nice craft and execution.

Maybe we're all just tired of this story already. Let the man get on with his life. Why should we even continue to care about this when larger problems afloat? We've become a nation of voyeurs instead of doers. That's the problem. Let's focus our attention to things that directly affect the way we live our lives, daily. His sex life is of little consequence to me and probably of little consequence to you too.
