Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.

My favorite part is that she hasn't been singled out at all, and that hers is simply one of many portraits done in the same style.

As far as I know, she's the only one that has raised a stink about it. Which is why her portrait needs to be put on t-shirts, mugs, stickers, and every other medium for widespread, ongoing appreciation of what the artist was able to capture so accurately.

Ive got that weird sense of humor where I would be like “do my portrait!” And then hang that shit in the guest bathroom in my house. I’ll be weirdly excited every time someone new goes in there to see what they say after.

As a west Aussie, for me to wear that someone would need to take the design further, like with this Muskrat shirt: nsfw language link

Just couldn't bear the slightest risk of anyone thinking I'm genuinely wearing a Gina Rinehart shirt

edit: I'd wear this one though sfw link credit to Birrunga gallery on facebook
