Description Still, so still, in the city tonight, twelve o'clock tick-tock, when all that is good slinks away like a beaten dog and the black black shadows are alive with the dead, twisted poetry in broken english, flesh and blood and staring faces...

So grey and despairing, strong as steel but collapsed inside, the crow laughs under a street light, a voodoo smile of one who lived and died and yet still lives...

He makes his way home where he can be shapeless in the dark and paint his face in the colours of joy...

Tonight, hell sends an angel bearing gifts...

-james o'barr -c- the crow book one pain

the crow comic was a huge inspiration to me, here is my homage to it...

I the picture! Like is an understatement! I saw part of the movie on tv one day and I had to see the rest! It just had me spellbound! Fell in w/ it right away and then I found out about James O'Barr@ I'm a comic book lover to begin w/ but I knew I had to find the comics! When I learned about Brandon's death, the whole thing drew me in deeper! It was just...wow! I'm a Crow and Brandon lover and I'll be one even after I'm dead!

i think i'd like this better without the blur.. but mostly because your lines are so hot.

(ps- is that a photoshop blur?)
