It’s Finally Inauguration Day: Obamicon Yourself

Seize the day and get in touch with your inner Obama...
Obamicon CathySeize the day and enjoy the moment. Here's an art therapy assignment for you on inauguration day...express yourself! Give yourself [or your cat or dog] an Obamicon makeover at Paste Magazine's Obamicon.me. ObamicanMe lets you create your own Obama-like image ala the iconic posters in bold shades of red, blue, and beige by Shepard Fairey. In a few minutes you can use your webcam or upload a photo to create your own Obamicon.

So, what's your message? The original Fairey posters were often accompanied by a single word, such as "Change," "Progress," and "Hope." Be spontaneous and keep it real, but check out the gallery on the Obamicon site if you need some inspiration.
