{{{
{% load static %}
{% tkrempser as STATIC_PREFIX %}

<img src=""{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi.jpg"" alt=""Hi!"">
<img src=""{{ STATIC_PREFIX }}images/hi2.jpg"" alt=""Hello!"">
}}}

But STATIC_PREFIX variable is empty and nothing is printed on template.

Using the other suggestion:

{{{
{% load static %}
<img src=""{% get_static_prefix %}images/hi.jpg"" alt=""Hi!"">
}}}

It works as expected.
