April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberFirst, thank you to all the artists who have kindly responded to my messages and have been patient with me.
I checked out all the names on the picture, and I've tagged artists I was able to confirm (and a few I actually haven't confirmed but am strongly confident about).
You will notice that quite a few of the artist tags actually do not match any name on the picture. That is because I have used the most up-to-date artist names as of today, which I will list at the end of this post.
Also, notes have been added for icons I have been able to locate, and they give the source for that particular icon (both the source to the image and to the artist's FA page). There are two notes whose sources may be misleading or unusual: krystalcantenjoyhersandwich (hopefully obvious why) and complication(I used an e621 post as a source because the the original image was deleted and the source given by the e621 post suffered link rot).
Please, feel free to make corrections, as I am not familiar with most of these artists.

Random Notes for the extra curious:
- Cbee was the one who lit the powder keg for this meme.
-- He is tagged as an artist since part of his work is in some of the icons.
-- Cbee also made the cheese grater picture (if you know what I mean).
- This collection was put together by Finski-Susi, along with contribution from FA members after the image was first posted.
- JrSpaniel's icon is included twice (1x5 and 25x4).
- Verix (also a member on this site) hosted a page of this collection on his website verix-the-cat.com. The website is no longer online.
- Sarsis' icon was originally drawn out of spite of the artist's roommate's hard bread toasts. Sarsis had drawn other images for the meme, but they were not included in this collection.
-- Apparently, the character in the icon is throwing the bread like a weapon.
- Sagejackal's icon is included twice (11x3 and 12x6).
- Stripedfox's icon is included twice (4x5 and 13x5).
- I realize I don't like using e-mails people provide on FA. Less than half answer.
- At the requests of some artists, I have omitted some names.

MemberUpdate:
Romusz, a.k.a. Michael Caddell, has recently confirmed that he did indeed drawn the icon under his name.
