Einstein
The 'Poster-Quote'
Ok, I get how overdone and cheesy it is to quote Einstein. I mean, the man's very name has become synonymous with the idea of 'smarts', so trying to associate oneself with the guy in any way is an obvious and ham-handed way to try to make yourself look brainy.
Nonetheless, the dude was pretty noteworthy, especially because in his one 'miracle-year' he developed four of the most ground-breaking discoveries in mankind's history — theories on their own that would ensure any other thinker a position amongst the legendary brainiacs of the species.
Anyway, I particularly like the quote you see here, and always thought that the man had a face worth drawing, so ta-da! Here it is. A poster for the nerd-set. Have your Taylor Lautners and your Justin Beibers. I'll take Einny.
Do I sound smart now?
The following was sketched by looking at a famous photo of the man and drawing it in to Photoshop.
