I love those Fairey-ized icons!  I've made one of myself but am waiting for the site to email me so I can log in.  8)

I think Shepherd Fairey is one of the first legitimate stars at the end of the first decade of the 21st century--only the 'Art World' hasn't figured it out yet!


The 'Obamacon' (I prefer the 'Obamaizer!') is also cool! Limited, but cool--give it a whirl!

This is cool.

Oh, wow.  Yes, way cool.  Etch-A-Sketch has always been my favorite toy, and that was so amazing to watch!  (My son's toys have all been either packed away or given away, except for the Etch-A-Sketch, which I still like to "doodle" with from time to time.)

Portraits of the President-Elect

Jory John, program director at 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center, asked students to draw a portrait of President-elect Barack Obama.


Fun to look at - and very impressive.  A lot of talented kids out there!  Thanks for sharing.

Great job with the Obamaizer, John!  :)

Chrissie, that is not only a beautiful cat--that is a really beautiful piece of art! Love it!

His picture could also have the Big O logo on it. But for a different reason. :laugh:
