Life, The Universe And, That’s Right, Everything

Salvador in his usual company – Chris Rock, Hunter Thompson, Prince, Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and above them you can pick out Tim Burton, Bill Gaines, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Aldous Huxley, Baba Ram Dass, Monty Python and, hey, Van Gogh standing next to the guys from “Reservoir Dogs”.

This past Hallowe’en, Howard Hallis completed the first section of “The Picture of Everything 2″.

This epochal moment in the history of art – well, at least the history of cartooning – is the latest development in the nine-years-and-counting journey of one man’s raw ambition to document Life, The Universe And, That’s Right, Everything.

Service to mankind? Or just totally anal retentive? Dozens of people are making the judgement call with a visit to Hallis’ eclectic website. If you’re in a hurry, the main event, the whole Picture of Everything #1 is here. Above is mere trifle of one corner of it. Below is a whole bunch more. See the rest.
