Reginald Vel Johnson can be substituted out for Charles S. Dutton, if the artist prefers.

First of all, ujfoyt's idea should not be wasted on an artist's depiction. I'm thinking live event for charity. I don't think I could even tell you right now how much money I'd give to Outside In to see that.

For the cover, though:
Randy Leonard, wielding a rocket launcher, astride a saddled-and-bridled Lars Larson.

OR

Former BTA lobbyist Michelle Poyouroux (sp?), gripping a giant bolt of lightning, riding a wheelie-popped bicycle on the Hawthorne Bridge wearing the Carrie-Fisher-Jabba's-Palace costume.

A viking with a skull head, wearing only a fur loincloth, brandishing a flaming chainsaw, fighting a giant crocodile with razors strapped to its claws. Also the crocodile has a bomb strapped to its head. And Holy Diver is playing in the background.

Hundreds of John Ritter heads emerging from cocoons hanging from the Avatar Tree of Life, with the biggest Big Gulp ever at the base of the tree. But it's surrounded by spikes! In the background is Meghan McCain about to be crushed in a trash compactor, and a secret tube is connecting the compactor to the Big Gulp, aka the new Sap of Life is her guts.

Freddie Mercury singing on top of the Planet Mercury using a broken thermometer as a microphone so that he is covered in Mercury and then have the mic stand fashioned as the Portland city flag poked into the surface to claim the territory for the town. Have some broken up bicycle-powered space ship smoking in the foreground for all the green people.
