Barack has been painted as a saint before, but we still really like Beth Consetta Rubel’s rendition: “Multimedia portrait depicting Barack Obama as a saint.” Jump inside to see the image in all of it’s majesty!
This amazing work was sent in by Manick Sorca: “Congratulations to President Barack Obama, the first African American President of the United States!

An interesting superhero-obama mashup spotted in General Howe’s . It’s like Obama, but wearing a scary red batman mask and a judge’s robe… One of the compositions includes Hillary and is titled: “I’m gonna cut your name in two!”

Craftcube is a site dedicated to downloadable, DIY paper toys: “Cubeecraft paper toys do not require any tape or glue to assemble! Every model simply has to be printed, cut out and properly folded.” Here is a link the the limited addition Obama figure.
