Geoffrey Raymond, the greatest artist of our time (excuse me, of all time), who brought us such masterpieces as "Big Lloyd I (.6 Billion)" (a rendering of Lloyd Blankfein), "Big Jim I: Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine" (Jim Cramer), and "Big Dick I (Hundred Million)" (Dick Grasso), and "Big Maria" (Maria Bartiromo), is back at it, this time with another portrait of everyone's favorite Lil' Fella, Lloyd Blankfein.
To be honest, we don't think it's Raymond's best work. It lacks a certain phallic rise, but you can judge for yourself this afternoon, when it will be on display around 85 Broad and the NYSE.
For what it's worth, big deal art collectors Sleve Dohen and Ben Biffen are said to be in a bidding war over the piece already, which is up for grabs on eBay through next Monday.
Raymond's last entry, "Big Maria" (Maria Bartiromo), sold for $5,000* even with the stains left by passersby invited to flagellate themselves to its colorful curves. Interested buyers should note that, in all probability, the genetic material collected this time around will be exclusively from Goldman Sachs employees.
*starting bid was $4,999.

A little microdermabrasia(?) should take care of Big Dick's complexion.

starting bid looks to be $3,999. the fact checking and editing of this site continue to amaze me...

@ $3,999- the * denoted the opening price of the maria portrait, not blankfein. the fact checking ane editing of your dumbass comments continue to amaze me. http://www.dealbreaker.com/2007/09/post_505.php

@2:47: you're own editing is pretty bad also... my mistake on the comment above, but let's be honest about the editing of this site. it sucks.

@ 2:42/3:01...let's be honest that you've failed to prove it, though you have proved yourself to be a sad little prick.

booooring
the "painting" is still awful.
I can do much better by playing with Lloyd's pic in photoshop.
In any case, Lloyd should just go out and buy it (he may be able to negotiate a 50% discount - -who else would want to look at this piece of crap)

Well considering that this is probably the only news source for many of you, it might help if there were fewer errors. The new media machine is going to have to take responsibility for some journalistic values or risk becoming a sideshow for the fools who only want to be entertained.
