Me: you know how I’ve been reading those dragon books? Yeah I spent like half that movie thinking I’d like it more if there were dragons in it

My brother: [knows enough about the napoleonic wars to be really bothered when things are inaccurate] well dragons wouldn’t be any more fantastical than that already was

If you have the time please check out my latest single. Now streaming on Spotify.

Napoleon stated, “History is a lie agreed upon.”Once you do your own research, you will see that what we call history has been re-written to fit a narrative. Break free and free your mind.

I couldn't resist the urge to recreate Jean-Léon Gérôme's painting 'Naopoleon and his general staff in Egypt' (1867).

I like how differently he portrays the characters. Wrapped and half-asleep generals suffering from heat and hot wind with sand. Their figures are bent and almost freely hanging from their saddles. While Bonaparte holds confidently, putting his hand on his knee and looking into the distance.
