What you’re looking at is a charcoal portrait of Lady GaGa drawn by Tony Bennett, who apparently signs his original artwork with his real last name “Benedetto” because all Italians have secret mob names. (That’s in the Bible.) It’s currently up for auction to benefit GaGa and Tony’s charities, according to HuffPost Culture:
Talking during her Thanksgiving TV special, Gaga described the incident: “I walked in and said, ‘Well Tony, here we are’, and I dropped my robe and I got into position. I felt shy and thought, ‘It’s Tony Bennett, why am I naked?”
…
We asked Nick Fox, Fine Art Lecturer at Newcastle University & John Moore’s contemporary painting prizewinner 2010, what he made of it.
“While Tony Bennett is an amazing singer it is possible he might benefit from some observational drawing tuition,” said Fox.
“On a brighter note it is clearly full of passion for the subject – there’s a certain passion and sensitivity to her feminine charms. Yes, it is worth the asking price – it’s Tony Bennett! It’s about collectability at the end of the day.”
I like how Lady GaGa stripped down naked even though Tony Bennett barely even bothered to add breasts, and her vagina is basically a giant black blur covering her entire body, as he prefers to remember it.
BUTLER: Sir, aren’t you going to draw the squid penis?
BENNETT: For cryin’ out- It’s the gray thing that looks like the tip of a paintbrush! Get me a sandwich.

He forgot to draw her nose.
and the penis. he totally forgot to draw in her penis.
theres totally a caulk shadow.
What a body, I would love to have a body and face like hers. She makes me all wet inside and TallMatch.net was amazing.
@Schmidtler I thought this was a drawing of a penis wearing a wig?
fuck off with the pop-ups. this site is fucking shit now.
With Firefox, you can combat those. Adblock Plus and Ghostery are a couple of examples. Unsure if they work on Microshits web browser though.
Personally, I don’t mind ads. It’s how things get paid so I can surf for free but the pop-ups and pop-unders with the full page shit on the sides is not what I ordered.
@Fletch adblocks work with most of the IE stuff .
Beeks, you’re on it. First thing I noticed.
Well its fucking ugly. So I guess he’s our generation’s Picasso for capturing his subject in such life like detail.
Seriously, how did he miss the nose?
To get ready for this she only had to take her top off.
its really not all that bad…
Yeah, it is.
Oh, it’s bad.
wow, with that kind of talent for drawing, he’s lucky he can sing. Looks like he used JWoww’s Maxim cover to capture that derp derp melty face look.
I am sure she fucked him too.
No way. Tony has his dignity.
tony better not give up ur day job.
oh that’s true :P
Looks nothing like that bitch except for the no clothes part. Hey Bennett, she’s got a schnozz that rivals Streisand’s.
Does gaga have a banana for a right tit, or is that where Benedetto drew her nose.
As I said on the Facebook side…I can see a black and white picture with a dick anytime. Just have to bring up the President’s picture.
You got ignored there, too.
Here’s Nick Fox’s web site:

HIs latest “art instalation” seems to consist mostly of large droppings of paint on the floor.
Because an artist creates a series of abstract works, don’t assume he doesn’t know the basics and can’t create a “realistic” piece (check out his previous works) – and that he has no critical faculties as well. Fox was being kind – while Bennett’s drawing and painting probably gives him a lot of pleasure, his work is awkward, pretty rudimentary and untutored. If he created these anonymously and no one knew who “Benedetto” was – well, no one would look twice.
Her lower arm is hanging by just a scrap of skin.
I’m at a loss on how to masturbate to this, I’ve been going at it for like 20 minutes and nothing. just nothing.
That’s the big problem with amateur talent. Picasso at least included tits and a penis in some of his portraits so there was something for everyone.
Masturbate to Lady GaGa?! You are a twisted individual. I envy you.
Now don’t go and start acting all fucking weird on me. You cast a strange and familiar shadow, afternoon wood. hmmm. think about that for a second.
Geez, McBeef, if you’re getting wood and jerking it to *this*, I wouldn’t have wanted to sit next to you during “Titanic.”
Yeah, Titanic. It was a tearjerker for my high school GF, but more of just a jerker for me.
This is the clearest case of elder abuse I’ve ever read. Phoning the AARP now for recommendations.
Monster!!
At least he got her wonk eye in there. Next up he ought to do Audrina Patridge’s wonk tits.
Look like that “sketch your profile pic” facebook app.
I like what she’s done to her pubic hair.
She looks like a 50 year old Vegas stripper.
who posed for who? THAT’S the question.
‘It’s Tony Bennett, why am I naked?”
Wow. I actually have the same thought as Gaga. It’s Tony Bennet, why the hell is she modeling naked for him?? Then again, Gaga would likely pose nude for the guy who flips the burgers at Carls Jr. If the opportunity prsents itself, why not? She’s Lady Gaga.
they finally found the sketch of the one-legged prostistute from the wreck
gravity “Hangs” on her face.
THAT’S WHY SHE IS THIS UGLY, folks!!
What a wreck. Look at the fucking hands–this is “art” ?
Slits for a nose, prominent teeth, soulless eyes, sharp claws, exuding a black cloud—maybe Tony was going for the “Voldemort’s Sister” look?
I wonder if he said “Am…am I suppose to draw the penis?”
(S)he who must not be named.
wasn’t there a rumor a while back that Tony was working w/ the ‘dark one’? lol so… yeah… now this makes perfect sense…
That Colonel Sanders outfit and those chicken legs has got me craving KFC.
I would say: Good try Tony; but far from good figure drawing.
Stick to voice Tony; the best .
Your drawings : keep at home.
Sincerely,
John
Holy shit, colonel sanders forgot his pants!
