Désolé, mes amis.

I’ve been too busy (and lazy) to set up a new queue, but I will within the next two days or so. More art is coming, so don’t worry. Also, send me any ideas on what you want me to feature on this blog, and which styles I haven’t checked out.

Art History.

We tend to get off-topic easily in Art History when my teacher (best teacher I’ve ever had, IMHO) has his amazing lectures. Today it starts off the the Greeks, than to the cycle of governments of monarchies, democracies, and all that. Soon enough we’re talking about the Kennedy assassination and the girls in the class are begging him to show the Zapruder Film, because they never saw it before and they wanted to see JFK’s brains… :o.

Damn, people are morbid and crazy :D
