Baaaaaa....Five Portraits...

memeage, you could get 5 portraits from any time, for your own display only...who?

1. Shakespear, as a long soliloquy.
2. James Christensen
3. Ray Troll, in a mural involving frogs
4. Rembrandt, with some of my extended SCA gang...the Night Drunk Watch
5. Teleri Tawel, who did one of the me I would dream of being: http://ca.icynic.com/~knowles/HtmlArt/knight.jpg

What is this "portrait meme?"

You have an art time travel machine. You can pick five artists to do a likeness of you (it doesn't have to be painting or photography). Assume that all the payment, scheduling, and so forth are taken care of - you just show up for your sitting(s) with temporally appropriate clothing that is esthetically pleasing to you. But these are for your personal enjoyment only - they can't be sold or even revealed to the world at large. You can pick different eras of the same person if they are different enough (e.g. Picasso)

So, who do you pick?

Aha. Thanks -- interesting thing to think upon.
