ilya repin. amazing 19th century russian realist painter with a sort of "tragic" twist to his paintings

william robinson - unanimous [1993]

feel like it's missing something without my cuckoo clock and the airplanes

also warsaw my mouth was not hanging open :(

reprise, i don't find it creepy
since i'm the subject you can drop that

i think somebody should do a portrait of lucky day spa though

i mean i do like some of h.r. giger's art

i don't recognize any of it but the one with the money cutouts with the skull masks

it's karl may's (famous fin de siècle german author of young adult/adventure novels) 100th death day so take a look at these amazing book covers:

LOL WHAT THE FUCK, THERE WAS A PHOTO OF A BOARDIE IN THE "POST PIC OF YOURSELF" THE MAN LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THAT, SAME BEARD, SAME WINE GLASS IN HAND.

I love that painting, here's proof if you don't believe me:
