Layered and Illustrated
So this image is going around under the title “All world famous men in one single photograph/artwork”, and aside from the fact that I cannot get my head over how horribly wrong that title sounds on so many levels (grammatically, politically, artistically), it’s still pretty nifty.
You can’t really see anything in the size below, but click on the image or [click here] to see it in detail.

I have tagged the people in the picture, and started naming them.
This post: http://www.za3tar.net/2007/11/27/world-famous-people/ has the picture tagged, and the recognized people named. If you recognize somebody that is not mentioned in that list (or somebody wrongfully recognized), please leave me a comment so that i can fill that out. Hopefully we can tag and name all of them soon. :-)

It’s interesting at first but after going though it I started to scratch my head…there are some famous female leaders and actresses in this painting but not a lot…What is the background behind it?

Hal, I could be wrong, I was actually thinking of his dad, Kirk Douglas, and wrote Michael instead. Its the guy next to Arafat.
