As everyone knows by now, the 2008 presidential election was won by Barack Obama. If you feel passionately about the election results and want to show it or if you're writing about Obama or the inauguration, the Barack Obama clip art below can give you some nice visuals.

These images, which were created using the free online Picnik application, are perfect for fliers, blogs, Web sites or even making your own bumper stickers. (Personally, I would never stick anything to my car; but I know a lot of people do.) If you'd like to learn how to make your own free clip art, read my Picnik tutorial.

The images below include some photos of Barack Obama that I obtained from the Barack Obama Web site and altered using Picnik's many photo effects. I also used some standard patriotic borders and filled them with messages related to voting, the election and Barack Obama. I hope you find them useful!

Choose a small version of any of the Barack Obama clip art images above the large image to the right. When you click on one of the images, it will appear larger.

IMPORTANT: Once you've chosen an image and see it larger, double-click on the larger image, which will make the best version of the art appear. Sorry for the extra step, but this will give you the highest quality art.

Then, if you have a PC, just right-click and save the final version of the artwork to your hard drive.

Note to Internet Explorer users: You may have to click one more time after following the instructions above. (In other words, click on the image that comes up after clicking on the large image.) For some reason IE makes those images look a little shaky. But clicking that final time will bring you to the good stuff. Sorry about this! When the instructions are followed using Firefox, which is the browser I use, the images look great.
