Hero of the Day: Bruce Elliott

Bruce Elliott, for his "Nude Governor Series".

A Chicago painter, Bruce paints for fun. He doesn't care if anyone likes his work. He mentioned (sarcastically?) that's he's kind of like Van Gogh, not appreciated in his time. But he says he can live with that. Especially, he says, when your wife owns a bar.

Bruce came under fire for his nude painting of Sarah Palin for being about a woman and a Republican.

His response? A second installment. And this time, about a man and a Democrat, entitled, "Cavity Search," starring a nude Rod Blagojevich.

Both paintings will be on display in his wife's bar, The Old Town Ale House.
