Any history buffs out there?

This was sent to me in an email from my mother. It is a painting, painted in 2006, and it's called "People of Influence".

If you hover your cursor over a person, it will tell you their name. If you CLICK on a person, it will give you their life story!

Really interesting idea.

I didnt see martin luther king jr. though, i was a bit surpised that mike tyson made it but not the king.

Equating Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson with individuals like Margaret Thatcher and Sir Winston Churchill is an interesting take on history, I must say. (Oddly enough, I couldn't find Al Sharpton or The Reverend Jackson.)

Was this painted by Keith Olbermann? He is one extreme liberal with enough time on his hands that would have all the commies and dictators shown and leave out people who really were inspirations and had character. The only presidents shown are Clinton and Lincoln. Clinton wouldn't make a pimple on Lincoln's...

I thought the cat would be Morris the Cat, but no.
