This was too awesome to not pass along (click for actual size):

For those unfamiliar with the Simpsons, the above picture is based off this poster:

And here’s the coolest part of this story!

The artist of this magnificent little piece of work originally uploaded the image to her deviantART page. (For those who don’t know, deviantART is one of the premiere user-generated art sites on the net - think of it as MySpace for artists.)  Within days the picture became so popular that it was featured on the deviantART homepage, then picked up on digg.  From there it inevitably spread across the internet and blogosphere until it ultimately landed on ABC News.

From there, the image eventually made it all the way to Matt Groening - as in Matt Groening, creator of the Simpsons - and this previously unknown artist was offered a job with Bongo Comics, Groening’s comic book company.  Rumor has it that she is now working on the relaunched Futurama.

Moral of the story?  SHARE YOUR TALENTS!  You never know who might notice.

BTW, she has also done a fantastic Futurama-as-anime pic:
