Description My dog's name is Seven, and at some point I started noticing headlines such as, "Seven Killed in Hurricane", "LAPD Arrests Seven", etc.

I started collecting them, and decided to make Artist Trading Cards with them. This is a small sampling of those ATC's. I have over 50 of them, and you can see them all at my website vaguelyartistic.com .

Thanks! It took me years -- literally -- to figure out what to do with all the headlines. I'm, glad I might be able to save you some time with another idea

Thanks! I've been saving headines for years and never knew what to do with them until the ATC craze started. I should make some new ones to add to the set....

See, the reasons I can never make as many collages as I want is that I don't collect stuff like this, or if I on rare occasion I do, I always lose it. I'm a sucky pack-rat, let me tell you. I steal stuff from my friends to make collages-__- I really like this idea, it's a cute concept because of your dog, but the result is really striking. I think my favorites are the killer snake one and the bus attack. I really like the bus attack picture, especially when juxtaposed with the caption. And I like the snake one because it makes me think of Eve and the Garden of Eden, which is always fun.

Oh, I'm the ultimate pack-rat! Luckily I mainly use images that I can organize, but it would be a disaster if I used a lot of random ephemera!

I'm glad you liked them

Amaaaazing
That's a great name, I always thought of naming a child seven, but, it'd be too rough, especially after 7o'9

I really like that, and it's even funnier when I think about a dog.

VaguelyArtistic In reply to R-u-D-d-Y [2004-07-29 20:59:33 +0000 UTC]

There's an episode of "Seinfeld" where George says he wants to name his kid Seven, after Mickey Mantle's jersey number, and people think that's where I got the name, but his full name is Seven-Day Notice, because when I first got him my landlord threatened to kick me out if I didn't get rid of him. (He let him stay after all).

I'm only into the original Star Trek, so I always forget about 7o'9.

There's a website called Dogster where people basically post pictures of their dogs, and for a long time mine was the only Seven. Now there are five or six.

It is a funny name for a dog, especially when we're out and I have to yell after him "Seven!", people sometimes look at me funny.

The headlines really crack me up, even though they're usually morbid to think about. I have one, though, that's "Seven Inducted into Hall of Fame"

WOOO SEVEN!
heh, that's right, i forgot about the seinfield... but, i forgot when i thought it was a good/bad thing to name a child as well.

Ahh, seven-day notice, how cute.

What kind of dog?

He a chow mix, but he doesn't have a schmooshed-in nose like a chow. He looks like a little bear. He's soooo cute! Oh, don't get me started.....

If you go to the ATC section of my website you can see his picture

I can't take credit for the name, my friend Dave, the coolest guy in the world, came up with the name.
