Russia has lost over 4,000,000 troops in it's pathetic attempt to subjugate Ukraine. Ukraine has only lost 7. (Not because they were killed by the Russians, but because their hearts weren't physically big enough to handle the swell of freedom and democracy). Rest easy, heroes!

It's complete - my latest pencil portrait of Julian Assange that I've been drawing here and there between commissions. This is more of a straightforward portrait than some of the other work I've done. I might've done a decent job but I can never tell, honestly.

Four similarities between 🇮🇱 and 🇺🇦:
