Self-Portrait No. 1
I finished painting a self-portrait today. I’m usually more into landscapes than portraits, but I must say I enjoyed this one immensely.

Red Lilies in the Garden No. 1

Why “Fullmetal Alchemist 2003” is NOT Better Than the Manga
As far as I am aware, there have been three adaptations of the manga Fullmetal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa: an anime in 2003 that had little in common with the manga, another anime in 2009 that adapted it quite faithfully, and a live-action movie in 2017 that we shall not speak of. In spite of…

“Fullmetal Alchemist” (2017) Movie Review
Fullmetal Alchemist (2017) is a live-action movie based on a manga/anime epic. I very much doubt I need elaborate, as the simple fact of its existence almost guarantees it to be awful.
