Star magazine provides much of the inspiration for the work I post on this blog. I flip open the magazine and find endless amounts of material to fuel my absurd paintings of celebrity gossip. They were kind enough to print my Brad Pitt Pull Toy in their News of the Week feature…..so of course I had to create a painting out of it. Here we see Brad disagreeing over his portrayal as Angie’s boy toy. Medium: Acrylic and ink painted directly onto page 30 of the April 24 issue of Star magazine.

You’ve truly hit the big time now, 14; when you have your “targets” refuting your representations of them AND it comes from your favorite gossip rag! Just don’t get “Too big fer yer britches”…ha,ha, just kiddin’…really enjoy your work and may the hits keep on coming!

I love your blog. But I wanted to know why you didn’t paint Zahara cute — like most babies are? Why do you paint Zahara crazy-looking like that?

uhhhh…
I didn’t mean to paint her crazy looking! I think the kid is absolutely adorable…and I don’t say that very often about kids.
I did this painting quickly and with much zeal. When I’m wielding a paintbrush while dancing around my studio like a freak, sometimes detail gets lost. The journey is the destination.

Yay 14, you made it to the pages of the almighty STAR magazine! I was most excited to see your piece in there as I perused it last night in line in Safeway. But they called you “14″. wtf. Oh well. Good to see you in the big time anyhow. You go grrrrl!

Hi Duncan,
I use whatever medium I can get my hands on, but this one done with Golden Fluid Acrylics painted directly on top of a page ripped out of Star magazine.

I adore your art and your blog, 14. Thanks very much!
I have a question: Have you ever noticed how scary-much Corey Feldman looks like Grandpa Munster? I lack the talent to do a sporting artistic comparison, but in light of Feldman’s egotistical and annoying reemergence into pop culture, I’d love to see it done.

I love the fact that you are getting famous. Love it!!!! I like this painting. You go girl!
What is that damn thing on his head? I am sick of that ugly thing! It looks like the hair net my grandmother used to put on her head after she slathered several layers vaseline on her face - you know- to keep her beauty in tact and “keep huh hair good.”
I think Bradgelina is insane! They are supposed to have some serious fucking financial problems too.

Ok, I have to know - what’s with the sock-hat-thing on Brad’s head? Is he turning Rasta?
And wow, congratulations on making it to Star magazine 14!

What? The baby looks like that in every picture. Have you ever seen Zahara smiling? She’s probably scared of the Paps.

Don’t worry 14, I see Baby Zahara’s essence in your portrayal of her. You have her “OMIGAW I just got adopted and now I’m flying private jets to France like it’s nothing” sort of Along For the Ride look down pat!!
And congrats on the crazy recognition you’re getting!! You most certainly deserve it.
AAAANnnnnd I love that you repainted a Brad rebuttal DIRECTLY ON the page that your previous artwork is on! It’s like a vicious cycle of meta-voyeurism!!

Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie deserve every illustration you do of them. They truly are absurd with their brood of rug-rats giving birth at some lodge in Africa. We all know they will split as soon as her raging pregnancy hormones subside and she will raise his kid with her lesbian girlfriend in L.A. Pitt can change his last name to “Whipped” since Angie baby has done such a good job at castrating him. I fantasize the celebrities you illustrate view your website, get really pissed and start screaming into their cell phones. Especially Paris Hilton and
Tom Cruise.

Hi 14, Greetings from Jamaica…I stumbled upon your website a couple months ago and I have read every comment to every post you have..Congrats girl!
I was just reading that Brad Pitt made it to the list of Most Unsexiest Men at #100 ! Wow, he sure has fallen a farrr way from grace as being the sexiest man alive to making it to the Unsexy list..I wonder if Angie had anything to do with that?? Seems as if he hitched that wagon onto a downward spiralling career move.
Maybe he’s wearing that ‘tam’ to get practise for when they come to Jamaica to adopt a Rastafarian child… Now that will make their rainbow coalition even more interesting!

Oh 14 love it, love it. He used to be worth watching, worth viewing for the hunk he was, and now he’s just a really whipped pussy boy.

Hey Laverne, most babies aren’t cute. Look for yourself. It’s true. Especially the white ones. Uggs. Just be glad 14 had a pretty, exotic baby to illustrate to begin with! If you aren’t happy with this one you definitley wouldn’t be happy with her rendering of your average white baby, I can tell you that! Now that I think of it, she did make at least one… Britney’s spawn…hmmmm…. I do recall that bugger looking pretty accurate… yikes.

Holy shit! Katy has just removed her fake memory foam pregnancy pillow and one of those Scientology Biovessels in a big ass stadium just spew forth the latest “progeny” of Tom Cruise!
You have to draw their baby! Right away!

Okay, 14. It’s cool re Baby Zahara. Thanks for the response. I love this site. I swear. I see some of the others have asked about that rag thing on Brad’s head. I was wondering, too.
