On our way to the National Portrait Gallery.


Okay, maybe not "our" way. But he is on his way. Shepard Fairey's collaged poster of his original portrait was hung in the National Portrait Gallery last Tuesday. This street artist, in this place. It's really amazing. This image was reproduced in so many different ways throughout the campaign, and beyond, and really became a defining image of the future president. Heck, it's on our minivan. I only saw one version that was completely tasteless (thanks, bro) but everyone else really seemed to have fun with it.

So, of course when a dear friend passed along a website, I embraced ombamaicon immediately! Even though I may be able to manipulate Photoshop and get an image somewhat like this, maybe, possibly, here is this amazing tool that does it in seconds! Voila! I'm an icon!

Go to your room...
