When asked to provide a visual work to be hung with the work of others at Britain's Design Museum as part of Creative Review's Tweetup, the folks at Mat Dolphin decided it was about time to pay their respects to their creative influences - by putting them all together in a parody of the periodic table of the elements and submitting it as their visual work.

According to the table, Stanley Kubrick is a lighter-than-air nonmetal; Ernest Hemingway is an alkali metal; Vladimir Nabokov is an alkaline earth metal; Charles Eames is a transitional metal; Bjork is a poor metal; Stephen Fry is a metalloid; David Lynch is a halogen; Martin Scorcese is a noble gas; Andy Warhol is a lanthanoid; Stanley Kubrick is hydrogen; and Terry Richardson is a douche.

Beyoncé was notably absent.
