I've Been To The Mountaintop

For some reason I have recently developed a huge amount of interest in history, especially American history. I think some credit for that has to go to having too much time on my hands and getting lost in the never-ending web of Cracked. If you haven’t ever been there before, its probably summed up best by a random list of the article titles:

8 Movie Special Effects You Won’t Believe Aren’t CGI
The 7 Most Condescending Sports Euphemisms
10 Mind-Blowing Easter Eggs Hidden In Famous Albums
8 Filthy Jokes Hidden In Ancient Works Of Art
The 6 Craziest Sieges In History

My First Ever Sketch

Well, that title is definitely a lie.  I know that I've done lots of sketches before, but this is the first one I've done that hasn't been for a school assignment.  Actually, that is stretching the truth a little bit too.  I remember my parents giving me some pencils and a sketch book when I was younger, but I was just really bad at it.  My mum seemed to have some sort of artistic skill and I can still see the picture that she helped me draw as vividly as the day I (read: she) drew.
