He has been completed this crazy project called Flying Mouse 365, which is create 1 design per day. I hope his illustrations can bring some smile and entertainment to the world. About the author French Revolution Digital Archive Remembering The Day Team Rocket Won « Some people create art with paintings and sculptures; others use eloquent words. One man last year created art by destroying dreams. It seems only fair to recognize his evil genius. A 2009 Pokemon Platinum event in NY was merely a sandbox for him to wreak havoc in. Look at this man in the middle of his sinister work. That bottle likely contains some horrible combination of piss, water and children’s tears. Here’s the lowdown: Nintendo held a NY event to celebrate the nineteenth sequel to the original Pahket Monstaz, Pokemon Diamond.

I have a feeling that Pokemon Black isn't going to sell as well in the South. This was a document of false truths. Let’s be straight; this is a horrible thing. But this was art.

Les Nuits révolutionnaires Pour me soulager, je m'enfonçai dans la suite des siècles : je vis les hommes de 1992, lire notre histoire ; je m'efforçai de les entendre, et je les entendis. La sévérité de leur jugement m'effraya ! Il me sembla que les uns nous reprochaient d'avoir manqué d'humanité, tandis que les extrêmes, tels qu'il en est aujourd'hui, nous approuvaient. Je crus voir que toute l'Europe avait pris un gouvernement nouveau ; mais je voyais sur les pages de l'histoire, les horribles secousses qu'elle avait éprouvées ! + Lire la suite

Or I hadn’t, until last night’s opening keynote for the Brisbane Writers Festival, delivered by the American author Lionel Shriver, best known for her novel “We need to talk about Kevin”.
