Looks cool.

It reminds me of Russian propaganda artwork.

Well, you know what they say about the little guys...

Very nice. I love the dark red beams, not to mention the light red beams in between the dark red beams. And the border, it's red too. Red is such a great colour... so deep, so passionate!

Napoleon is famous for being depicted with his hand tucked in his coat over his stomach. In that rendition he looks like he's reaching for the old grapeshot cannon.

Why is Charlie Sheen wearing those clothes?

@Antihippy:

Small hands? Smell like cabbage?

@cordsie: Dont think the depictions by accident

As if Shepard Fairey could lose anymore credibility. From his high perch of underground "andre the giant" badassness, i don't know if it was the "tagger" action figures at target or his swindle fashion magazine that make him now look like a total douche.

I still feel that console users are getting ripped off by not having all the features of Civ 4.

@cordsie: He's just making sure Little Napoleon is still ok.

Napoleon did bad things, but you can't call him a dictator

Fun post-revolutionary fact: Little Napoleon might still be around.

dang my brother is going to freak, he even has an Obey tat

Napoleon has a posse. Yes, I think that would be a safe assumption.

I like Shepard but I like Brute even more. (KMFDM art, etc.) I think Shepard has more pieces though. I have his collection somewhere. The guys a great success story.

For the interested, Fairey recently did covers for Animal Farm and 1984:

I was wondering how long it would take until someone slammed Fairey as a sellout, and it was only comment #8.

Attacking a commercial artist like Shep Fairey for "selling out" is akin to ridiculing Tiger Woods for his Nike contract.

@luketheobscure: Thanks for that, I really liked both covers..

@coalhalo: Yeah, I never got the impression that Shep was clutching to his "indie street cred". It always seemed to me that world domination was his goal.

Funny about Napoleon... every time I play him in Civ4 I get tons of hate from the other CPU civs. No one really likes him it seems.

Saladin on the other hand is Mr. Popular

To look like those beer/drug college posters, that should read,

France!

Getting conquered since the 1st Century B.C.

I kid, I kid.

@chaman_shimano:

Dictator:

a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.

Napolean crowned himself emperor after gaining power in a military coup. The word "dictator" has negative connotations, yes, but Napolean appointing himself emperor, had absolute, unyielding power while invading/attacking every major European power. I think that qualifies him as a dictator.

lol that poster is a cheap ripoff of a photoshop tutorial to make a rock-band poster, so identical not even funny.

It could probably stand to have the game's name somewhere on there. Napoleon doesn't automatically = Civ. Nuclear warlord Ghandi maybe, but not Napolean.
