As part of my therapy as a child, I was asked to paint as many people as I could remember seeing in Leviathan.  I worked on this once a week from the ages of 11 to 13.  It was fun for me, but at first alarming and then confusing for the therapist, and then she began to envision writing a book and hitting the lecture circuit with the new type of schizoaffective disorder she thought she was witnessing.  If I squinted I could see the dollar signs in her eyes.  Alas for her.
So many faces, so many details. Of course, by that point I'd seen thousands of people in Leviathan and couldn't possibly paint them all.
I was going to paint my closest friends, Marvin, Gus, Carl, and Laggy Cornwinkle last, but ran out of time.  Of course that has been corrected since.  Better late than never!
