Lee Nakanao.. Secret Society of Dark Patriots. 7th Leader. In truth his eye is a restraint, when he removes it he awakens and enters his berserk state. He then cannot be stopped until he slaughters every living thing around him. Afterwards he must sleep for 3 days and 3 nights.

Picasso : Painting is War

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who, if he is a painter, has only eyes, if he’s a musician has only ears, if he’s a poet has a lyre in each chamber of his heart, or even if he’s a boxer, just muscles? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heart-rending stirring or unpleasant events of the world, taking his own complexion from them. How would it be possible to dissociate yourself from other men; by virtue of what ivory nonchalance should you distance yourself from the life which they so abundantly bring before you? No, painting is not made to decorate apartments. It is an instrument for offensive and defensive war against the enemy.” Pablo Picasso, Les Lettres Francaises, March 1945.
