I made this Fairey-ized image of my cat awhile ago. I actually used Adobe Illustrator rather than Photoshop. I’m slightly more competent with Illustrator. The autotrace feature was a big help, but it took me more than a few minutes to do. I don’t call myself an artist, though. I can see that Fairey’s poster uses more subtle shading and, dare I say, nuance than mine. On the other hand, Leo was a totally black cat, so there wasn’t much leeway to put more detail in my image.

I got my inspiration to make that from the People’s Cube deck of cards. Now Comrade Red Square is a real artist. He used to do stuff like that back in the Soviet Union.
