We've already written about collectors going crazy over the newspaper covers of Barack Obama's presidential election victory, but the Obama News Mosaic is a collage of the president-elect's face using all of those prized newspaper covers.
The website features a 78-meg high-resolution poster of the Obama News Mosaic that is fully scrollable and clickable so that you can see the covers in detail, but the zoomed-in image in the gallery gives you a glimpse of what's in store.
Over 600 different newspapers were used to make the Obama News Mosaic, and it's quite an impressive piece of artwork. The poster can be printed from the website; the DIY version will be about 2' x 3'.
