Shakily, I breathe in. Retreating from the room where voices are hurled at one another like bullets, I find solace in the kingdom of clothes. The clothing dryer hums and heaves, radiating heat. I like it here, even if it is not far enough to drown out the sound of a war waged only by spoken word. As I tiptoe further into the room, something outside crashes to the floor, shattering—I am used to broken things: toys, crayons, vases, marriages. The dryer beeps, indicating the end of a cycle and the…

Poussin described his initial work on his new painting Hannibal Crossing the Alps as ‘thinking’. He told Cassiano del Pozzo he continued to give his commission ‘daily thought’: For the drawings for the honourable gentleman/your honourable self I am thinking [about them] every day, and I should quickly finish them/some.’ The words ‘I am thinking’ (j’y pense) is Poussin’s way of highlighting what he saw as his own exceptional intellectual efforts. And he assures Cassiano that tangible proof…

Done in pen and brown ink with wash modeling over traces of black chalk (Keele and Roberts). This is one of his last anatomical studies that came out well. However, “the line is dry and wiry, seldom betraying any feeling of vivacity, a sad, scientific style, compared to the beautiful…

He was a great one for staring…

portrait; albeit younger. "She liked riddles" said the man guarding the door, his face was wrinkly like shrivelled paper and eyes dark and gloomy. He gnawed at his thin bottom lip; soaked in wrinkles to make it look like it was sucking lemons. trying to wash away the unpleasant experience of being here everyday. "Who?" I asked. The man pointed his wrinkly finger, the skin was so loose it looked as if it would slide of any minute. His finger nail was a rotten yellow matching the decaying…

Like some of the other companies, at the first stage, Ubisoft did not have a lot of good games, until, in 2007, they published Assassin’s Creed. This game also started a new age in the game industry, until September 2016, they sold more than one hundred million copies of this game series, and make this game…

walk into the secret room eyeing the lines of shelves with leather bound volumes. Some are collecting dust yet others are well worn. The only area of the burgundy walls that aren't covered by the mahogany shelves are a few small alcoves that hold paintings of past presidents. The earlier presidents stand in front of me. In the center, the 48th president, Felix Torres, holds a book much larger than I would have imagined. His burnt sienna eyes wrinkle at the corners with a welcoming smile. The…
