Another year, another year of art. It's strange, until I sat down to actually do a 'best of 2k7' journal entry I hadn't really thought much about this year. I did easily the most 'popular' work of my DA career this year(my first piece with 100 favs, several pieces with over 1,000 views) but I'm just apathetic about the entire year. I think losing my dog in June really just killed my year artistically and emotionally.
Recently I saw the new "I am Legend" film. :SPOILER ALERT: DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN OR ARE GOING TO SEE I AM LEGEND::
It's not the tight psychological study of a man and his dog that the book was but it was 'aight' for Hollywood in 2k7 and good for a Will Smith film(which isn't saying much).
But it killed me when the dog died in that movie. It absolutely killed me to see that german shepherd get hurt. I was in fucking tears.
I miss Crow. I miss my dog. I miss her every single day. I wanted her to grow old and grey and die quietly at the ripe old age of 15 or 16. I didn't want to have to put her down because she was in so much damned pain from the cancer.
Oh well there are other people suffering in the world, people dying, people rioting, people fighting for freedom, people dying for tyranny.
What's one dog against the backdrop of global misery?
She was my dog, she was my friend. That's all that matters to me.
I miss you Crow.
