Bids for this Bali Nine masterpiece open at $499:

Far from the frolicking tourists on Kuta shores sits Renae Lawrence of the Bali Nine, destined to serve a lengthy sentence for drug trafficking. This unique and compelling portrait by DT Nash captures the poignant mixture of resignation and regret as Renae contemplates the fateful choice which will shape the rest of her life.

Only six days left! Bid now!

UPDATE. Lawrence receives her sentence today.

UPDATE II. Say what you will about the Lawrence portrait, it’s a bargain compared to this:

A photograph allegedly showing the ailing Israeli leader Ariel Sharon in a Jerusalem hospital bed is being offered for sale for $US18,000 ($A24,357) on the Internet auction site eBay.

  12. Now, please, don’t put down Aussie Women please!!!

    In relation to the Indonesian system, have you seen the judges sitting on the “Plastic” wrapped judge chairs? It’s hilarious!!

    Are we allowed to Bribe now, that everyone else around the world is doing it, and then we can write it off as Eco-friendly donation?

    Looks like Fran Drescher’s mothers house with the plastic not taken off.

  14. A new Book to review !

    In The “Da Muhammud Code”, art historian and religious symbologist Alli Fulla is summoned to Mecca to help in investigating the murder of a famous cartoonist. The dead man left a series of cryptic cartoon clues and symbols near his body before he died, some looked like fire some looked like Daffy Duck. With the help of dectective Fulla Allahmood, Alli discovers that some of the clues are hidden in Da Muhammoud’s famous painting, “The Cartoon venetti Man.”

    He also learns that Da Muhummoud, along with Isaac No name, Victor poisionpen belonged to a secret society called the Priory of Mecca Mecca land and the 5 pillars of sin secret society that is offering 12 kilograms of gold to solve the mystery of why we have to stone throw in winter, and why the cartoon symbols could crack the code.

    Also involved are other religious groups and secret societies who are out to stop Alli   at any cost. This thriller’s breakneck pace, ingenious clues and escapes, and sharp intelligence have already sent it to the top of bestseller lists. The New York Times review of this book is summed up in one word, “Wow what a gas and a blast of a book.” We couldn’t agree more. The Da Muhumoud Code is a fun and intelligent read.

    A must read out now out now!! Movie out soon!

  15. $499 reserve? Maybe we all chip in and send it to Margo - it can be the second ugliest object in her house.

  16. This painting reminds me of a MOVIE STAR!!!!!!

  17. Bismillah! It looks like they have crossed Gollum with a trucker.

    What’s the bet Margo buys it? Its compelling alright, compelling me to stare in horror.

  18. horrible pic, but this kid is seriously a sandwich short of a picnic. reckon she has an iq not far above a wombat, & her parents sound the same. it’s not just bogan inarticulateness. she’d have trouble crossing the road without someone to hold her hand.  of all the 9, she’s probably the only one who deserves to be cut some slack

  20. If that is a true rendition of Renae Lawrence, be glad she’s off the streets and out of the gene pool.  Looks like she’s been pumping iron since she’s been inside.  Scary.

  21. #20 Mystery, I get the impression from looking at the real Renae Lawrence that she bats for the other side… so no genes should be entering the pool.

  22. D T Nash is a graduate of the William Dobell school of caricature portraits, apparently.
    The girl’s no beauty contest winner, it has to be said. But that painting would scare a thirsty man out of a pub.

    Keep that up and you’ll vying with Iowahawk (PBUH). How about posting this on a blog of your own too?

  24. #21 that is apparently true, not that there is anything wrong with that!

    #18 I don’t think she is alone in the ‘lack of grey matter’ contest amongst that lot.  The bottom feeders who organised the run picked their targets well.

  25. Now the cartoon affair is losing its punch, the hungry media will fasten on the Bali nine.The sensationalism will be…....sensational.[Yawn!]

  33. KK,

    That’s impossible….everything is Dubya’s fault.

  35. I Love Princess Mary of Denmark, to mock her is to mock Australia as well by the Islamics.
