A prop designer named Harrison Krix constructed a Big Daddy costume for that last Dragon*Con. Here's a picture of him and his fiance taken at the Georgia Aquarium. It's been a little posterized but everything else is real:  More aquarium pics here. He has a blog detailing how he made the costume along with some Dragon*Con shots. He put the suit up for sale on ebay. It's currently $850. |

Heh. He gives several disclosures about the suit on his ebay auction. I liked this one the best: "Walking anywhere in this suit is very difficult, due to the massive crowds of people which will be asking for photographs. Just kick the drill arm on and keep walking; they'll move." |

Probably the most well-known example at the moment is Shepard Fairey's "HOPE" poster (hence poster-ized). Another example: pre-posterized:  posterized:  They also use a variation of it in those Charles Schwab commercials |

It ended up selling for $2K, which is amusing. |
