“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales.

If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”

– Albert Einstein



After 'At Eternity's Gate'.

An animated drawing and melodica ditty that seeped out of my being.

Inspired by the majestic performance of Willem Dafoe as Vincent Van Gogh.
