Yuck. It’s not his “iconic imagery”, it’s red propaganda imagery, and it’s creepy as all get out.

Nice picture Miss C., didn’t know you were quite the hottie.
Whoops, can I say that?

That’s a great idea to get images for 3 colour screen print t-shirt jobs at those custom print places.

“This is not a political blog…”
I agree with Sarah.. that image of him in this style has always creeped me out and made me think of a megalomaniac style image.

Please do not endorse work by Shepard Fairey – He quite often steals elements without crediting them.

Chances are all the stories you know about inventors creating “unique” ideas are a load of crap, they almost always got the idea somewhere else but they were the first to provide a new application for it.

This proves it: Shepard Fairey is a one trick pony. Anyone can do what he does. Who’s to say he didn’t use this website to make the “Obama Hope” icon?
He an unimaginative thief.

So what about the line halftoning?
Not to rain on anyone’s parade but I think that site makes a piss poor job of making that poster style. I mean, it was likely made by reducing the colors of a photo and then hand tracing over the image. No kind of automated process will emulate that, it’s all about hard work (regardless if it’s plagiarized or not).

I love you, Miss Cellania! (Despite your ignorance towards the Slanket. :S)

So, what – that makes stealing ok? screw you.

J,
Who said anything about it being “ok”?
Reading comprehension fail?

Wow. Make my own socialist propaganda just like the Obama’s socialist propaganda.

Am i the only one that thinks that looks like some sort of poster you’d find hung up on the wall under a dictatorship.
Don’t get me wrong i’m definitely not against Obama but i see him on the cover of people, time, newsweek and every other mag out there and every time i see it. it’s like “Great and beneveolent leader enjoys time with family page 24″. his ad campaigns in videogames and everywhere inventive as well makes me feel like Big Brother is not far off.

Damn! Ya’ll must be hitting this sucker pretty hard right now I can’t save mine.
“We’re sorry, but something went wrong.
We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.”
Guess I will try back later with a different browser even.
Come on people it’s all just good fun.
Lighten up a bit please.

I made a photo booth plugin that does the same thing. It is free open source. No need to register or agree to a EULA.
it works only on macs running osx 10.5

Dude…some of you are seeing red everywhere. Talk about paranoid losers. Enjoy the moment, can we?
PO
Shepard fairey is not stealing other peoples art and claiming it at his own. He is using other artists imagery in his own way making different meaning. And he actually doesn’t use a machine to produce all his works. He paints some of his designs, but most of them are made digitally. That article you have is bogus and they should do a bit more research on Shepard Fairey and the intentions of his work.
