Steve Irwin Has a Posse

Posted Oct 5th 2006 1:08PM by TMZ Staff

Steve IrwinTributes to the late Steve Irwin are still going strong.

Following in the footsteps of Andre the Giant and Hervé Villechaize (aka Tattoo from "Fantasy Island"), Steve Irwin has been immortalized in the San Francisco Bay area with Obey-style posters. Reminiscent of Communist propaganda posters, the Obey posters have appeared for years in urban areas throughout the world and are the mastermind of artist Frank Shepard Fairey.

The poster, featuring Steve Irwin's image, has the letters R.I.P. below his face and the word KRIKEY! in bold letters at the bottom of the poster.

TMZ is a proud member of the Steve Irwin Posse.

4. Hey God, couldn't we trade a few useless do-nothing celebrities for Steve?

I hope that people will support the issues of wildlife conservation and habitat protection and fulfill some of Steve's dreams

Hey Madonna and Brangelina, can't you spare some donations for wildlife?

11. Shepard Fairey f***ing sucks. He's a rip-off artist. All he does is trace sh*t.

15. Nice pic, but can't we just let Steve Irwin rest in peace. He was a wonderful conservationist and I adored him. I agree with the other person above, can't you STARS and PEOPLE WITH TONS OF MONEY give the to Wilderness Warriors?? It is really a great cause. Get up off your wallet's/purses and make a large donation for Steve's wife and kids, Terri, Bindi and Bob. I know they would really appreciate it.
