Can't seem to find Stalin, can anyone help?

 

By the way, is that Osama Bin Laden in the top right-ish by himself?

 

yeha im guessing thats osama because george bush is looking the other way (guessing he's looking for osama) while osama is blending in with the people

That's incredibly well done.

 

I don't think it's actually a proper painting. I reckon it's been composed digitally.

The older historical characters (Shakespeare, DaVinci, Galileo etc) seem to have been grafted in as you'd expect.

Some of the modern characters (Putin, Sharon, Arafat, Saddam) seem to have have photographic heads grafted onto their bodies after being put through an oil-paint photoshop filter.

Meanwhile, several of the other modern characters (Queen Liz, Prince Charles, Hitler, Hepburn) have obviously been painted and their likeness isn't very good at all.

 

I wonder if it's a revised edition of the painting with some newer faces (the photo-realistic ones) pasted over the original ones?

Just seems a bit odd the way most of the people (modern and historic) have bodies that match their heads while others (Arafat and Putin for example) don't.

 

I dunno much about art.

Is there an original painting out there somewhere that shows hundreds of characters like this?

I'm guessing that somebody's cut & pasted a huge pile of bodies into that painting then pasted the heads onto them as well.

If you look carefully it seems like some of the characters fit naturally into the montage but others are fairly blatantly pasted in.

 

Anyway, I'm gonna start marking this up later. :D

Osama Bin Laden has no number.

 

There are several that could be generic biblical types and a few more who might be greek philosophers. Added to which there's a few Oriental sorts who could be your favourite Shogun/Samurai, I guess.

In that case is it a Double en tendre?

(A phrase which has too meanings, one nicent, the other possably rather suspect, favoured by the carry on series)

No!

 

Geez, you guys have a one-track mind.

Bill Clinton was famous for playing the saxaphone. When he first got voted in there was a huge concert and he played on stage with U2 or somebody similar.

 

That's totally different from Monica Lewinsky getting his saxaphone out.

There. I've said it. Are you happy now??? :P

Yes. I'm satisfied.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"

(But not as satisfyed as bill Mwah)

"But I didnt stop her when she helped herself to a portion of my Pork Sword"

 

Seriously, why would the leader of the free world pick Ms Lewinsky chow down on his meat and two veg.

 

And I know thats what you meant all along stealth.

Why would the leader of the free world....you know what I'll stop there.

 

I think 63 is Jesus Christ, 76 is Queen Victoria, and 99 is some Tokugawa shogun, correct me if I'm wrong.

 

EDIT again: 72 is Karl Marx.

63 looks oriental to me.

76 is a guy. 75 is Queen Elisabeth II.
