I created this to illustrate Billion; non-English speakers and/or friends have forced this article to move to 1000000000 (number), just so we know. My care in selecting a nice extra bold font to label the big cubes was overlooked by the fellow who did a shoddy SVG imitation. |

| Created this for the {{Builder Award}}, "to Wikipedians who have contributed heavily toward the construction or reconstruction of our political infrastructure." The photo is of the United States Capitol building, during reconstruction by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1861. |

A requested picture for (what else?) Cartesian materialism. The subjects are a portrait of Albert Einstein, a Coati, and my conception of the Holy Grail. |

| I have been working on a series of Chicago, Illinois maps. This is the most recent. It's a ridiculously difficult project to gather sufficient source materials, overlay them to proper scale, and draw new, libre content on top. The intent is to provide high-resolution sources for derivative maps of specific city features. |

| I did not create this old map but merely salvaged it from the mists of time. The file is perfectly valid but seems simply to be too huge for the engine to resize properly. I haven't the heart to upload a small one. |

| An editor suggested that any editor could do the work of a Clerk "but without the fez and the tiny car". I agree that the tiny car is unnecessary.
I have an entire line of editor headgear at User:John Reid/Fez. One size fits all! |

Another Requested picture. These are the dramatic masks of Thalia and Melpomene, the Muses of Comedy and Tragedy. |

No matter how often you call a horse's tail a leg, the statement is still horseshit. |

| The game Alpha Centauri includes real and fabricated quotes from a future version (?) of Wikipedia. I have always been taken by this one: "Einstein would turn over in his grave. Not only does God play dice; the dice are loaded." |

| The classic statement of graphic design on Wikipedia: a stenciled W -- with, of course, full alpha-channel transparency. |

No illustration for Mille Bornes?? Of course, the deck -- all the decks -- are copyright. I created a full set of iconic cards as well as this tableau. |

| This, the 6th version designed by me and the 7th uploaded to the project by all editors, finally made Featured Picture with an amazing, near-unanimous level of support. |

Another Requested picture, this one to demonstrate geometric similarity. | |

| A slightly more cautious warning. |

This excellent novel by literary acrobat Ira Levin demands illustration -- but its complex and unfilmable plot means it has never been made into a movie, hence there are few easy grabs for pictures. This is the best I could do: a bookshelf. |
