Dear Inner Demons by Christopher Hemsworth
I was first attracted to this series by artist Christopher Hemsworth because it featured video game characters facing their inner demons. It’s called Dear Inner Demons.

Here’s George Washington Dunking on Kim Jong-un
Man, this just makes me laugh. It’s a painting of George Washington dunking on Kim Jong-un, the North Korean supreme leader. A painting! I think it’s the expression on George’s face as he prepares to bring down the thunder. It probably doesn’t hurt that Abe Lincoln is looking on in the background with a smirk.… Continue reading Here’s George Washington Dunking on Kim Jong-un
Vladimir Putin Kissing Vladimir Putin
