The producers at BIO.com review hundreds of photos of famous figures each week, from award-winning actors and popular singers, to headliners and scandal-makers.

How did he conjure up such creatures as the Fiffer-feffer-feff, the Drum-Tummied Snumm, Grickily Gractus, the Green-Lidded Fawn and Lorax? Perhaps the inspiration is in hands?
