he's the poor man's Max Stirner.

...Anons in this thread have to understand that art is impossible without individualism. Even speaking from a purely psychological point of view, what is the motivation of making art? An artist's/writer's ego is so inflated, by nature, that they will never be able to participate in an anonymous, anti-individualistic collective. It will implode from within, it's a death sentence. For better or for worse, creative personalities want to create because it is their ego that longs to jump out and express itself.

I always thought that Stirner sketch everyone keeps posting was the most popular one because it's peak meme material and there were at least one or two more traditional portraits, just found out those are the only two ever done and they were spooks made by Engels of all people. There's no way Stirner didn't know what he was doing.
