ARTIST PAINTS BIN LADEN WITH BULLETS
The U.S. Navy Seals are not the only ones who can boast of shooting Osama bin Laden in the head.
Toronto artist Viktor Mitic, who specialises in painting with bullets, has put this portrait of a bullet-ridden Osama bin Laden up for auction on E-Bay, with half the proceeds going to a 9/11 victims’ fund.
Mitic, who has also immortalised John F. Kennedy, Ghandi and John Lennon with his gunshot art, paints the portraits in his Toronto studio and then heads across the border to Buffalo, New York, to a firing range and fills them full of bullets.
“I just want people to know it’s meant as art,” he says.
