The Confrontation (from Les Miserables) - Josiah Brooks

For no reason except it's pretty cool.

This guy is multitalented - the main thing he does is art/cartooning videos.

I wonder if it would work for all cultures, though. Their style of drawing was similar to ours, but some are more different. I remember my dad telling me about some remote place where they showed various pictures of animals and the locals couldn't make anything of them until they were shown one where it was like a splayed out animal with two legs at each side, and that made perfect sense.

Not sure how to make it fit the space, but if you click on the video title it will take you to Youtube


And the making of:
