NEXT






















whether you like (or voted for) Obama, the "HOPE" poster Shepard Fairey created in support of Obama's presidential campaign is absolutely amazing. so much so the US National Portrait Gallery acquired it as part of their collection. in response to the success of these posters, Paste magazine created obamicon.me where you can recreate the look of Fairley's posters with your own photo.

here we have what serif might have looked like if Shepard would have painted him a poster (wearing Michelle's glasses of course). future president? maybe.

thanks to Chad for the link.
