Steve Irwin Has a Posse

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.

16. How does one become a member? I still love the man-he's one of those rare stars that burns too fast and ends too quickly (always leave 'em wanting more).

He did what he did w/o primping his ego.
