Annoying Potatoes in Battle

From the latter he is defended by being well armed and having good allies, and if he is well armed he will have good friends, and affairs will always remain quiet within when they are quiet without, unless they should have been already disturbed by conspiracy; and even should affairs outside be disturbed, if he has carried out his preparations and has lived as I have said, as long as he does not despair, he will resist every attack. A prince ought to have two fears, one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers.

Aim Greatness for Peace

The prince who relies upon their words, without having otherwise provided for his security, is ruined; for friendships that are won by awards, and not by greatness and nobility of soul, although deserved, yet are not real, and cannot be depended upon in time of adversity. "Greatness occurs when your children love you, when your critics respect you and when you have peace of mind." -- Quincy Jones.

Declaration of War


I fought the invasion. Not too many people know that I had the Plants army surrounded in my simple home at Valley front field, and was close to starving them out and killing their leader - the ugly zombies, squids and octopus.

The Invasion of Black Ink Warriors

We’ll talk about beauty and violence, about the red and black ink of knowledge, about fire and water, which is our expression for war, about flowers and songs of poetry, and many other things. My world is gone, but the memories of it can teach us a great deal about being human.

My Version of the Giant Beanstalk


Technical Assumptions of Earth's Wrath

What, then, shall we say of the catastrophes and the upheavals that were so abundant in the last century? Should we factor into long-term population forecasts the harm caused by the folly of mankind and the wrath of nature? And yet, one cannot foresee a catastrophe without being among those who conspire to cause it! The extent to which catastrophes are foreseeable is in itself variable.

My Inner Flame of Glorious Days


I can say I have worked day and night and do my inner flame lighter and keep smiling during this change in my time. So many powerful changes came at the start of my dreams, it is not possible to explain myself, how sure you are that, if they are sincere, my friends change their attitude very quickly.  My health at all levels, reflected by what I am now, and in the future, in my opinion I am more  likely to be so Optimistic.

Future Artworks

Learn what to look for and how to fix it and how to prevent this same problem in future artworks. Having the ability to look with a critical eye at your artwork is an invaluable skill for artists.

Preparatory Tool for Painting

Learn through practice and build your understanding of fine art drawing as a preparatory tool for painting, sculpture and printmaking as well as character and environment development for animated digital applications. You will apply your skills from previous drawing experience to drawing projects with flexible guidelines, and you will be encouraged to think critically in relation to drawing's unique ability to give spontaneous form and substance to objective observation and to your thought and emotion. Prerequisites: Drawing I and II or the equivalent.

Full Investigation of Facial Anatomy

Participants should anticipate a rigorous, yet lively course covering a full investigation of facial anatomy, accurate observational measurement strategies, proper rendering techniques for the capture of dramatic light and shadow, and direction on how to create a compelling contemporary portrait. This offering is open to all levels of experience, however, the workshop is best suited for those with previous basic drawing training In conjunction with a solo exhibit of Kassan's drawings at Manifest Gallery, the Brooklyn based artist will be offering an intensive four-day portrait drawing workshop continuing the Manifest Drawing Center's ongoing series of such courses instructed by prominent nationally known artist-instructors. An intensive, 4-day workshop focusing upon drawing the portrait from a live model.

Monsters In My Dreams

Pen and ink creates a higher degree of contrast than pencil, and can be diluted with water; therefore, many artists see pen and ink as a more expressive media. Pen and ink is one of the many options available if you draw. One of the disadvantages of pen and ink is that ink is not particularly forgiving. Drawing you favorite subjects, then, takes time and practice, and you may want to practice with pencil for awhile Once an artist lays down a line in ink, it will stay on the page.
