Is it a villain you want? I’ll play the part. After all, what is a drama without a villain? What is the building of this grand road if not a drama? This business is not for the weak of heart. It is a thorny, brutal affair that rewards the lion for his ferocity.
What of the zebra? What of the poor zebra? Well the zebra’s eaten as the zebra should be. Make no mistake, blood will be spilt. Lives will be lost. Fortunes will be made, and men will be ruined. There will be betrayal and scandal, and perfidy of epic proportions. But, the lion shall prevail!
You see, the secret I know is this–all of history is driven by the lion. We drag the poor zebra, kicking and braying, staining the Earth with its cheap blood. History doesn’t remember us fondly. But then, history is written by the zebra for the zebra.
One hundred years hence, when this railroad spans the continent and America rises to be the greatest power the world has seen, I will be remembered as a caitiff malefactor, who only operated out of greed for personal gain. All true, all true. But remember this–without me, and men like me, your glorious railroad would never be built.

Ronald Reagan’s Radio Address to the Nation on the Observance of Easter and Passover
Some of the current events he mentioned may be dated, but the message is timeless.

Happy birthday, Harry Potter! To celebrate Harry’s birthday (and my undying love for the series), I made my own covers! I created patterns (Thanks for the inspiration Scandinavia!) using a significant object from each book. I used those in the movies as reference and digitally painted them. You can view the whole project here! :)
(It’s already July 31 here in the Philippines. Haha.)

A woman is brought to Christ after she is caught in the act of committing adultery. The people ask if she should be stoned, and Christ stoops to the ground and writes a message in the sand.
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."
As Christ points to the feet of the characters in the painting, he also points to the feet of the viewer standing before the work of art. The artist mimics the action in the painting for viewers in his time. Reflect on your judgments, recollect your own transgressions.
Christ and the Adulteress, 1620s, Valentin de Boulogne. J. Paul Getty Museum.
Of French birth, Valentin de Boulogne was in Rome by 1614 where he came under the sway of Caravaggio and his followers. Though of a completely different artistic temperament, Valentin was friends with fellow expatriate Nicolas Poussin, and the two artists made altarpieces that hung side by side in Saint Peter’s. Can we count Valentin as an Italian artist?
