#13 (Maleev) is definitely Egon Schiele
#5 (CP Wilson III): Ernest H. Shepard (Winnie the Pooh)

I don't know if I should be upset, relieved or embarrassed that I couldn't find a NINA in the Steffe Schutzee piece.

Oh, totally. Maybe in Hulk's hair? Or maybe the artist snuck a "JARVIS" in somwhere?

#1 (uncredited): Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. (I like that they didn't go with the cliches, though.)
#3 (Gabriele Dell'Otto): Leutze (after "Washington Crossing the Delaware").
#4 (Stephanie Hans): Monet. (Or another Impressionist?)
#7 (Greg Horn): Easter Island sculpture.
#8 (Steffe Schutzee): Hirschfield.
#10 (Julian Totino): Seurat (after "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte")
#11 (Greg Horn): Rodin (after "The Thinker"), Michaelangelo (after "David"), and I forget who did that Iron Man one.

A countdown of the must-read books of the year.
