loubot: O' HAL naw!; +470|6579|Columbus, OH

I prefer photos of raw human emotion over paintings for inspiration, but if I had to pick I would go with any of the St. George and the dragon because it inspires pure EPIC manlynessnesses, srsly it inspires courage. How you define courage is up to each person.
