The Tagxedo gallery is by Hardy Leung, the site's creator. It includes portraits of celebrities like Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and Robert Pattinson. Animal pictures, sporting events and country profiles are also all possible. The possibilities for [unique posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/markdown-to-poster-editor) and website images are endless.
