We've never liked talented people. They seem so stable in their special abilities, capable of drawing or singing or whatever, and always managing to inadvertently rub our noses in it because we feel insecure about having no redeemable features whatsoever. Inadvertently rubbing people's noses in things is the worst kind of put-down because it's done without even trying, further cementing the superiority of the talented person.

But this is the first time we've ever been convinced that a talented person has outwardly tried to piss us off. Of course, they haven't actually tried to do so -- it's simply another case of us being inadvertently made to feel insecure -- but they might as well have for the strange mixture of awe and anger this art has instilled in us. Look, it's a very, very valiant Floyd Landis:



Our attention was brought to it recently, and the picture appears to have been drawn by someone who goes by the name Ferdinand Le Leon, which we hope is their real name because it's very cool. We particularly like the way that the artist didn't shirk away from making Landis looks as ugly as he does in real life. We also like the fact that the artist chose to draw a samurai sword rather than the bidon that appeared to be glued to Landis's hand, which makes his solo efforts seem far more exciting. We're hoping there'll be a second one with Floyd munching away at Oscar Pereiro's severed head, but that might be a bit much.

The artist's Livejournal, possibly. If we had this talent we'd probably just spent all day drawing pictures of Alejandro Valverde and Victoria Pendleton killing zombies.
