Just over 5 years ago UK-based digital artist Graham Whieldon launched his website of Rush-inspired fine art digital paintings at macrographs.com. When he first launched the site he had only one completed painting for sale; a print inspired by Rush's epic song The Fountain of Lamneth from their Caress of Steel album. Since then he has created a Red Barchetta-inspired print, a 2112-inspired print titled 2112 VIII, and a beautiful print inspired by Rush's By-tor and the Snow Dog. His latest creation is an amazing Clockwork Angels-themed print titled The Anarchist which you can check out at the Macrographs.com website. The artist is also running a Facebook contest where you can win your choice of Rush-inspired print by spotting the Rush references contained within The Anarchist:

... Within the Anarchist picture, I have painted 22 deliberate Rush references - excluding Clockwork Angels - from albums to anecdotes, songs to sidelines. Some are obvious and some are tenuous, some are clear and some are well hidden. But all are Rush related in some way, and you will have to examine your print closely to find every last one of them.

The first to email me 16 correct references and where they appear in the painting will be announced on the closing day and sent a Limited Edition Macrograph print from a choice of: The Anarchist, Red Barchetta, 2112 viii, Snow Dog, and The Fountain of Lamneth.

This competition will close at midday on Saturday 31st January 2015. No Clockwork Angels related answers will be accepted. In the event that nobody finds 16 references, the person with the most correct answers will win. An example of an acceptable correct answer would be: 'Face Up - bowler guy jacket'. ...
