Five Presidents Imagined As You’ve Never Seen Them

American history has its share of great people – people whose actions we can marvel over, and in some cases even gasp in awe and/or horror about if a new perspective comes along. However, those perspectives are almost always constrained by historical fact, and historical fact sometimes doesn’t permit the full impact of a particular historical figure on the national consciousness to be presented. In earlier times, artists could solve this problem by depicting political figures in mythological situations, sometimes even rising to the level of inserting particular historical figures into Biblical settings. However, this practice has remained essentially unheard of with respect to Presidents.

…Until the internet. Now, we can quite literally imagine our past Presidents in some of the most ludicrously awesome poses you’ve probably ever seen, thanks to an artist named Jason Heuser. Here are five of Mr. Heuser’s most insanely awesome creations, a fuller catalogue of which are viewable here and on his main page here:

#5. Theodore Roosevelt vs Bigfoot

Five Epic Pictures of Former Presidents As You Have Never Imagined Them

Speak softly and carry a minigun

#4. FDR as imagined by Michael Bay

Five Epic Pictures of Former Presidents As You Have Never Imagined Them

The only thing you have to fear is my arm cannon...oh, and fear itself.

#3. Ronald Reagan, Dinosaur tamer

Five Epic Pictures of Former Presidents As You Have Never Imagined Them

I'm from the Government and I'm here to kick your butt

#2. Abraham Lincoln on a bear

Five Epic Pictures of Former Presidents As You Have Never Imagined Them

So much better than "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"

#1. George Washington, Zombie Hunter

Five Epic Pictures of Former Presidents As You Have Never Imagined Them

Nothing we can say would make this picture more awesome.

BONUS: Ben Franklin vs the God of Thunder

    Although the artist is good at coloring, his knowledge of the presidents is typical of our education system. He has none. Benjamin Franklin was not a president. I’m not impressed at all, because it does not inspire me. If I were a liberal, I might like what he did to FDR. The rest are nonsense using guns, violence and zombies is so typical of today’s youth culture. Senseless.

      I’ll tell you what, if you can show evidence to the contrary, maybe we’ll accept your science fiction….otherwise there is absolutely NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to support the theory of millions of years of MACRO evolution (natural selection, yes — macro-evolution, no!).

      And artist interpretation isn’t evidence of evolution nor are assumptions about the past based upon skewed data in the present, nor can evolution be conclusive simply because you’ve done a fantastic job of indoctrinating the naive with ridiculously false and phoney assumptions over the years.

      Areas that evolutionists must answer:
      The phoney claims of missing links based upon the findings of falsified bone fragments.
      The lack of fossil evidence of the millions of transitional forms that should be evident if evolution had happened.
      The law of biogenesis (life only comes from life)
      The uniformity of nature (uniformity cannot exist or be expected without a creator)
      The laws of physics (the big bang requires the suspension of the laws of physics, nor could those laws exist without a creator)
      The laws of probability (the fine tuning of the universe requires a creator)
      The laws of logic (logic requires a logical source)
      The laws of chemistry (the logical properties of the elements require intelligence)
      Radiometric dating methods that have led to wild assumptions about differing rock ages (while the science is sound; the conclusions aren’t)

I was skeptical but it was a FUN movie, that while wildly historical inaccurate (”you don’t say…”) it still captures, with wonderful accuracy, the bravery and spirit of the man who may be the greatest leader and finest citizen this country ever produced.

      I think it’s absolutely ludacris to put men of this stature in fantasy poses. Unless you are planning to propangandize certain figures for political gain.

      These are powerful figures who’s names live on in history while their factual biographies become forgotten. These fantasies cast a comical light on our past leaders and serve as a distraction to their true nature.

      I am certain that average members of society would see this art and give a stamp of approval to the person represented in it solely based on their satisfaction with the art itself. Put simply; this is eye candy for prospective SHEEPLE.

    Washington should have been dual-wielding Sabers or carrying a cannon at his side.

    Lincoln obviously should have been carrying a battle-axe in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

    Jefferson (who I wish was in the list) should have wielded a tomahawk and bone-knife.
