Title: Obamacons: Discover the fun and post yours here!
Post by: Meryl on January 21, 2009, 05:20:37 pm

John Gallagher told me about this fun website that allows you to take your own pictures and turn them into icons similar to the famous Shepard Fairey Obama poster:

Here's the link.  It's free, and you can also order T-shirts, mugs and other items with your art on them.

I'd love to see your results, so please post them here!  8)

Here are a few Brokebackian posters I did.  It's great fun, but beware, you could get addicted to this.  ;D

I did this one from a pic John posted, but I stole the wording from someone else:

Love it!

But the 'One Way' doesn't looke right. Or maybe it does.. ;)

At least the little green person seems to go into Obama's direction. Green is good.

Well, HE says he was!  ;D

When I say my father looked a bit like Barack Obama, I meant the Fairey-ized version and it's really the frown between the eyes and the protruding ears that make me say that!  :laugh: :laugh:
