That's a wicked painting! I don't know who a couple in the back are though. (the black and white one next to pee wee herman, and the guy right above chunk from Goonies... he looks familiar but I can't place him. Errrr, wait, I'm not sure about the guy with the shotgun now too... the guy I thought it was isn't really a "cult" type of thing. who is that?) :eek:

Could the B&W one be Ed Wood?

North of where I'd like to be
Ooooh yes, could be!
I thought the same but then figured it was kind of obscure and not so cultish... <shrug> but they're not all major cult following type of things, just very memorable characters.
Yup. Check the Wikki article on Point Blank and trust yur intuition, girl:p
I'm partial to the Donny Darko bunny myself.

I don't think that is Chunk from the Goonies. It looks more like the Texas Chainsaw baddie.

No, leatherface is on the left in the back, to the left of Borat. I was talking about chunk, the kid, from goonies (image attached) - I wondered who the guy above him was (far right).

K, everyone is confused. David Lynch is on the LEFT - the mystery guy is on the far RIGHT above Chunk.

argh! <tears hair out>

OK, lets make this easier....

He looks so familiar and I can't place him. :eek:

that's not Charles Manson, that's the dude (Jeff) from The Big Lebowski. <- might clear up the bowling ball thing for ya too.
this might help too... edit: oh and this (so not safe for work or kids. at least 500 f words, but funny)

the "I should know this" in the middle of the dude from The Big Lebowski and Alex is Frank Booth from the move Blue Velvet (I put a photo up in this thread earlier of him) ->

Next to Alex from A Clockwork Orange is Jim Morrison. (at least I'm pretty sure) odd the guitar though because he didn't play. - Keith Richards would be a decent guess too though.

there's also a cat with toilet paper wrapped around it. I can't think of the reference though.

All the others were correct as I know it... except, who is that guy on the far right? :p

Thanks iBlue. Have added your suggestions.

Not sure about Jim Morrison as like you say, he didn't play guitar, and also he had slightly curly hair.

I had to look 3 times before I saw the cat ...
