Chillin' With a Villain

In light of the world spotlight being Iran, I was reminded of a project I did in Art class in high school:



There's Mr. Ahmedinejad himself. I did it out of a fascination not so much with the man, but the perception of the man. He was demonized in the West for his anti-Israel views, his nuclear power ambitions and his distaste for the West, and he was lionized in the Middle East for those very same reasons. What I wanted was a picture neither sympathetic nor critical, but a close up on the grey shades of a man completely stripped of politics and power. Just thought it would be interesting to share this.
