I <3 Silent Hill 2 and Akira Yamaoka

Now, while I've never actually played the game, I've sat beside Rob while he played it. (And undoubtedly annoyed him by telling him to "go look over there, what's that?")
I love the soundtrack of Silent Hill 2. Thanks goes out to Akira Yamaoka for writing this beautiful music.

If I make a painting as beautiful as this, then I can die happy...

Mr. Wo is a master of strong brush strokes, which are softened by luxuriant use of color and numerous washes. These combine to give his watercolors a dreamlike, eretheral quality which he achieves by detailing only the main subject matter in his paintings but leaving much of the composition loosely representational, a technique which combines eastern and western artistic elements.
