Photographic Art
My approach to art is very right-brained. It expresses some emotional or aethetic quality that is idiosyncratically satisfying.

The curriculum for the Wizard's website at the "How to Be a Hero" school emphasized creativity and ingenuity.
Quest for Glory 1 - Tavern Name
Humor was an important part of the Quest for Glory games, although at times it was black humor. Players were warned several times in the game not to try the "Dragon's Breath" at the Aces and Eights tavern. Woe betide the player who failed to heed this advice - his character caught fire and burned to an ash.
The name of the tavern is a reference to the infamous "dead man's hand." Can't say we didn't warn the player...
