Tired of Obamania on teevee this week? Make your own "Obamicon", your image in a style inspired by Shepard Fairey's iconic Obama poster. Take a webcam picture or upload a photo, choose a message, and submit to the gallery. After you've finished creating, download your image, buy products emblazoned with it, or browse the gallery to rate and comment on other Obamicons. In 1989, street artist Frank Shepard Fairey and friends created the Andre the Giant Has a Posse skateboard art phenomenon by clandestinely and fanatically posting stickers across the Eastern United States. Following a lawsuit threat from Titan Sports, Inc. over the copyrighted name Andre the Giant, Fairey created the iconic OBEY Giant which propagated globally and engendered a small design empire Fairey runs out of Los Angeles.
