What's with those avatars ?

   I'm usually not that active in this section, but now that I'm here I think I'll launch this one right now.
Sometimes I get curious with those avatars. I noticed there are roughly three (or four) categories:
1. Those chosen out of the possibilities presented by PA
2. Those chosen from one's favorite albums
3. An intriguing picture or painting of ... you tell me, I haven't got a clue
4. one's favorite animal or something.

The category I'm interested in right now is no.3. I will give some examples to explain it some more:
I always wondered the drawings of El Bothy, Slartibartfast, Fuxi, Menswear and mr. Progfreak for instance: what are they ??? I mean, do these collaborators look like those pictures, are they cartoon heroes or what ?
But also the avatars of Atkingani, Alitare, Clarke2001, Epignosis. Liquideternity, Obiter and CCVP, I mean who are these guys ? Maybe in some cases I don't know my classics no doubt but I really want to know where these avatars come from and what or who they represent ?
Anybody knows the answer(s) ?
