Michael Nguyen sent in this great portrait: “Barack in the light of America, just about to say “thank you”. The original flash animation is embedded here if you’d like to see it.”
Neight Adamson writes in: “Obama with the world on his mind, taking on the challenges of a new president, symbolically surrounding him with the abundant struggles to overcome…” Jump inside for the full image and an additional work.

The Apothecary’s Blotter Gallery on (the obviously drug related website) Erowid is currently featuring some LSD blotter with the presedents likeness. Found via BoingBoing.
