No one is allowed to post ever again... this should stay at the top forever. Have Tan spin up a new forum.

Who is the artist? I see one signature on there, but can't quite make it out.

A guy named Steve Payne did them.
He uses old, authentic portraits and modify them to look like celebrities, si I'm guessing the signature you see there is from the original painting. If you look closely you can see it's dated 1821 or something similiar.

Here's Steve Payne's blog with many more portraits, including Sean Connery, Bruce Willis, Elvis Prestley, Morgan Freeman and many more.

Alan Rickman's, Bill Murray and Ian McKellan look, to me, like they could've been actual figures (more or less) of the time period depicted in those. Again, I likey.
