Obama Me Shepard Fairey

A few months ago Paste Magazine launched a site Obamacon.me. Anyone who visits the site is able to upload a photo of themselves and create their own Shepard Fairey -inspired campaign poster and words of inspiration. You've probably seen these icons everywhere and they may annoy you as much as they annoy me. It just comes to show that how far photo altered technology has come that now anyone can reproduce and mimic to the point that we can bastardize a national icon to represent ourselves.
