I made this as an example of an artistic style that I saw Shepard Fairey using.

You can see his work at obeygiant.com.

Also, I recorded a brief video tutorial of how to do this if anyone is interested.

I don't understand the meaning of "posse" here. A link to the video would be helpful. The result is very interesting!

It's a reference to ``Andre the Giant Has a Posse,'' which is a street art campaign here in the United States.

The term posse here is slang and means something like ``A group of friends.''

I've uploaded the video here:

I just grabbed that video and will steal it for the next show. Great thing!

Downloading the video. This looks interesting.

Edit. Definitely interesting. It has inspired me to use palette mapping for this photo: http://www.23hq.com/photogroup/meetthegimp/photo/3298057
