Gmack, I don't have the faintest idea what this is. Both the Maven and I are baffled. Can you offer a slight, additional hint? Oct 24 05, 5:42 PM

Possibly part of an Underground art movement? Oct 24 05, 8:57 PM

I'll add that the artist involved was a nominee for that prize whose eponymous painter must be a Turner in his grave. Oct 25 05, 12:41 PM

Would it have anything to do with Simon Patterson's The Great Bear? Short-listed for the Turner Prize? http://www.bbc.co.uk/collective/gallery/index.shtml?collection=simonpatterson&image=3 Oct 25 05, 5:34 PM

That MUST be it, peasy. I see Daimler's name crossed out next to Ford's. Oct 25 05, 6:06 PM

Yay Peasy! It was indeed Patterson's rendering of the Bakerloo line that connected those people. It's a shame he couldn't find people that fitted more than one category to put at junctions. And I might as well link to an article on the Turner Prize (which does have a link to Mr Patterson). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_Prize Oct 25 05, 7:21 PM
