This seems an interesting idea and has been proposed at least 3 other
times. However, it seems no one has been interested in it enough to
follow through. Maybe you could be the person to make this happen?

I think we have more than enough ideas right now for F10 that we don't
need to go out and ask for more to add more to the pool.

I don't know if Mark Shuttleworth would be all that interested in
contributing to Fedora. Just a hunch. :-p
What is the meaning behind doing this? How does it relate to Fedora? It
seems to be promoting celebrity over expertise, no? Technical people
doing art = people doing something outside of their expertise? What does
that say about Fedora? Is celebrity really valued in Fedora?

Do you have any pictures to suggest?

This is what our art process involves right now. :)
