Description "All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players."

"Panem et circenses" is a latin saying, that means "Bread and circuses" in english. It originated in roman politics, meaning that if you can keep a population fed (hence bread) and entertained (hence circuses), you can keep them distracted and unconcerned with bigger issues, like war. In a way, I feel this saying can be taken in more ways than that, so I decided we are the puppet, as a society, the hellish toys are the entertainment once we know that it isn't for the best cause, and that we are controlled, and can be easily persuaded, as if it's almost hypnotic. Plus I've been wanting to draw a puppet for a while.

Let me know in the comments below what you think, any feedback, etc. I spent a while on this one so I won't start another drawing for a while, plus I'm starting guitar so I need more time, not to mention school will be back in about a month. Aghh.

Hope you like it, and for the record I'm 14, so I might not have as much experience as some other artists here lol.
