Christopher Plummer as the Duke of Wellington (Waterloo, 1970)

‘Who’s the boy with the hooky nose?’ ‘Our Atty!’

Wellesley: Violence isn't the answer.

Napoleon: You’re right.

Wellesley: *sighs in relief*

Napoleon: Violence is the question.

Wellesley: What?

Napoleon, bolting away: And the answer is yes.

Wellesley, running after him: NO-

Napoleon declares himself emperor (1804)

Irish people; The faeries aren’t real

Irish people; No fucking way will I go in that faerie ring

New portrait of Napoleon as Emperor.  I want to do a series of portraits at different stages of his life, which has taken several references and attempts, but so far it’s coming along.

Special thanks to those that like and reblog my work and make comments- of which help keep me motivated to try art projects like this.

Having moved recently, I am trying to get back into the groove of doing art so hopefully you’ll see more of my work going up online soon.
