Good get. Looking at that headgear all I could think of was Ickle Pickle from In The Night Garden

As per a previous post from you, I also thought H2 was Freddy but then retracted, I thought he'd be a monty to make the list.

He was stumping me but I'd be happy to think you're on the money.
Come to think of it, could he also be Joe Jackson?

I think Joe Jackson is G10
Edit: Just seen the updated list and G10 previously ID'ed as Jimmy Sommerville. Still don't think H7 is JJ though.

Reckon G10 is Jimmy Somerville (Bronski Beat).

I did a search on the image and found the source which gives the names. Bad form to post answers afterward though!

Yes, the image is a print you can buy from a New York artist. That's his signature in the bottom right. The artists in the print are listed on his webpage. I haven't looked at the list yet; I didn't want to ruin the fun. I was going to post a link to the site once this thread has cooled down.

I have no intention of spoiling your quiz either, Pseudo. I did a search because I was curious as to the ID of one particular artist. I have not posted any answers since. Google is the scourge of quizmasters but so long as people act with respect toward others' fun, all good.

Do you have a rough percentage of how accurate we are so far?

Thanks mate, it was an entertaining exercise, one that I think I'll print off and share with others.
I liked our coding system (well done @Magellan)
