Man of the Year

It was announced this morning that President-Elect Barack Obama is Time‘s Person of the Year. (Was it ever really a competition?) Among Time’s many interesting features, is one on artwork created about Barack Obama. One piece was featured here on The Obama Craft Project prior to the election–Arty Magee’s “Change” in change.

(Does this mean we scooped Time? Hmmmmm…)

While we’d seen nearly every one of the pieces that was featured already, there were three works that we hadn’t seen before, and are certainly worth mentioning.

Udronotto‘s Barack Obama in Legos.

Zillycakes in Buffalo, NY made this Barack Obama out of 1,240 cupcakes.

And I can’t post it here because of copyright, but please do check out this newspaper mosaic from lumis. Time says that it was pieced together–although it may actually be digitized.
