Another painting by Zimmerman himself!

(CNN) -- George Zimmerman, who sold his first painting on eBay for a whopping $100,000, is at it again.
And this time his subject is the woman who charged him with second-degree murder: Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.
The painting, a swirl of bright red and yellow, shows Corey with her fingers pinched.

The caption, in all caps, says, "I have this much respect for the American judicial system - Angie C."

It's an artistic depiction of a much-reprinted photograph of Corey from the news conference when she announced the charge against Zimmerman.
CNN left phone and email messages with the prosecutor's office for a response.
Zimmerman's brother, Robert, posted a photo of the painting on Twitter on Wednesday night.

"Very proud to introduce @TherealGeorgeZ 's latest..."Angie". Sale info & details available tomorrow."

Last month, the former neighborhood watchman listed an original painting on eBay: An 18-by-24-inch canvas featuring a blue, waving American flag with the words, "God, one nation, with liberty and justice for all" emblazoned across it.
The winning bid on it was $100,099.99.

"Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences," the item description for that painting read. "My art work allows me to reflect, providing a therapeutic outlet and allows me to remain indoors."

Zimmerman has been in and out of the spotlight since his July acquittal in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012.
In December, Florida prosecutors said they would not charge Zimmerman after a domestic dispute with his girlfriend in November resulted in his arrest. Previously, he was stopped several times for speeding.

Zimmerman told a judge in November he had $150 to his name and was $2.5 million in debt.

Zimmerman won't be charged in domestic dispute, prosecutor says

If only he had a gun... no wait, that's not right. Some poor man can't even browse ebay without being jumped by this hoodlum and forced to spend 100k... no that's not right either.

Jesus, it's hard to Zimmerman a Zimmerman thread.

This is all really Trayvons fault if we get down to it. Zimmerman would never have picked up a brush if that kid had just stayed out of his way.

If only we had a forum in which to suggest such a thing.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

In case anyone was genuinely wondering whether artistic talent or celebrity was more important in deciding the price of an artwork... well here we have a first time work from someone famous only for a much publicised shooting, and it commands $100,000.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

He did have quite the touch...

...or rather, his underpaid interns did. God, what a true American hero he was!

Zimmerman could learn a thing or two.

If I were him, I'd also be concerned with the possibly libelous quote he has attributed to the subject in the painting. I suspect that she never actually said that.

It probably says a Iot I wouldn't be shocked if she did. She wasn't... the best prosecutor to ever grace the court room.

If only that canvas had had a gun to protect itself from Zimmerman's terrible painting skills, this could have been avoided
