11 Celebs Who Fancy Themselves Artists

Courtney Love is getting creative, and this time it has nothing to do with naked Twit pics or making accusations that Dave Grohl hit on her daughter. She’s an artist now! Actually, according to Love, she’s always been an artist. Apparently, she studied at the San Francisco Art Institute in the ’80s. Who knew? Anyhow, her first gallery show “And She’s Not Even Pretty” is set to open this week at Fred Torres Collaborations in New York. The show will feature more than 45 of Love’s drawings,  many of them with accompanying bits of her poetry and song lyrics. One of the more explicit pieces, “Keep It Up, Mother,” shows a woman on a crucifix with blood running down her naked body. The  poetry reads: “How you must have suffered getting accustomed to ME. My savage solitary soul — my NAME that sends them all running  …”

Uh oh. Someone is doing deep exploration of her “mothering issues.” AND we can’t wait to see the bloody display.  Courtney isn’t the only famous person who has tried her hand at a different creative medium. Plenty of celebs have  picked up the palette. Click through to see more celebs who fancy themselves artists. [LA Times]

There are paintings, still lifes, human figures, and sketches. Some of it’s quite good!

Can you guess who the reality star can be? Hint: on last night’s show, this person bailed their best friend out of jail. Keep reading »

This Horse Is A Famous Arteest

In Poland, McCaber, an Arabian horse, is building a following in the art world. Over a year ago, her owner gave her a brush and discovered she had a natural talent for painting. “Sometimes she just pounces around on the canvas and paints for a long time with a lot of expression,” says McCaber’s owner. If that’s a masterpiece, then I think I’m artist too. I’m going to head home and put a brush in my mouth and see what happens. On Monday, I shall sell my masterpiece to the highest bidder, CASH ONLY.

What The Hell Is Breast-Painting?

Breasts are good for lots of things, like feeding newborns and painting exquisite abstract artwork. A Russian artist named Victoria excels at the latter, dipping her jugglies on a palette of Dick Blick paint and smearing her paint-covered nipples on a canvas. Um, doesn’t breast-painting hurt? Maybe she believes she has to suffer for her art. I’m no Isabella Stewart Gardner, but Victoria’s breast-painting is actually quite good. You can watch the artiste and her large brushes breasts at work here and judge for yourself.
