blank canvas, 50 artists from Doink to Rentals frontman Matt Sharp to Simpsons creator Matt Groening himself have created one-of-a-kind Simpsons art that will be unveiled today in Hollywood.

The Simpsons is a show that proves there is longevity in Hollywood -- as long as your looks don't change. Right, Michael Douglas?
