Artist doctors images to show world leaders on the toilet

SOMETIMES it’s easy to forget that heads of state are people too. So an artist has created a set of images showing our leaders as you’ve never seen them before.

World leaders on their thrones

SOMETIMES it’s easy to forget that heads of state are people too.

So Italian artist Cristina Guggeri has created a set of images that shows them in a whole new light.

Her series “The Daily Duty” reveals how the world’s leaders would look on the toilet.

The hilarious images were edited using Photoshop.

The Queen is pictured in a beautifully regal setting.

The Pope looks a little glum during his most earthly daily ritual.

Chancellor Angela Merkel is perfectly coordinated.

Cristina, or “Krydy” doctored every picture to produce incredibly realistic visions of dignitaries on the dunny.

Her creations certainly bring these distant rulers down to earth.

Using plenty of artistic licence, Cristina has added in a suitable bathroom around them, and imagined what sort of underwear they might be wearing.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is pictured in a stark, bricked loo with a pair of checked boxers around his ankles.

The Queen sits on a second “throne” underneath a chandelier, stockings and lacy white knickers pulled down to reveal her knees.

The Dalai Lama’s undies are pretty tiny.

Silvio Berlusconi’s bathroom is typically over-the-top.

Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu might make this face again when he sees this picture.

Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, doesn’t look as intimidating as his title suggests in this image.

The Pope appears to be wearing white Y-fronts, while President Barack Obama’s looks serious in stripy boxers.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s red dress matches her red bathroom and red underwear.

The Dalai Lama also chooses a red combo, although his undies are much tinier.

Ex-Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi is shown in a lurid bathroom that complements his reputation.

Let’s hope these powerful figures have a sense of humour.
