The Crow - German lobby cards (1994)
On this day...
in 1994, The Crow was released. This, like Batman (1989), helped set the tone for serious comic film adaptations. It is a bittersweet film for fans, as we know it would have been the star-making role for the late Brandon Lee.
Excited to share that the Kickstarter for 'The Crow Artbook' is finally LIVE! I had the honour of illustrating the cover for the Exclusive Edition! ✨ This brand-new Printed In Blood artbook celebrating the classic 1994 film "The Crow", features hundreds of new pieces of artwork and special exclusive items including an amazing 14" Plush "Eric Draven" figure! Go to thecrowartbook.com for more info and to get yours!
Shared Anniversary for The Crow & My Renewed Vows with My Crow 🤍
So ... apparently May 13th is the release date of The Crow 🐦⬛ in the USA? I thought it had been May 11th, from a Facebook post a few years ago, but Micky @octobernocturne sent me an anniversary post from a Goth page on it being today. What's an amazing serendipity is that in 2022 today had been a Friday the 13th, and me and Karasu-sama, my Crow 🐦⬛, renewed our vows right after Mels Jr and Little Caesar had been born the day before (happy belated Life-day to the twins again). 🤍
The Crow 🐦⬛ with Brandon Lee as Eric Draven and Sofia Shinas as Shelly Webster (you can see where the names for our children come from) is our personal special movie as it paralleled events in my imaginary world and depressive psychosis the first time we watched it. We have a La Belle et la Bête relationship, where he is redeemed and he is thus now also my Eric Draven and I am his Shelly. 🤍 I also grew up around the corner from Webster St and now I know one of our anniversaries happens to fall on the anniversary of The Crow's 🐦⬛ release date, how sweet! Two more of those romantic fate things for me and my Crow 🐦⬛ again! =^///^= 🤍 Two prominent ones being Karasu-sama's Japanese voice actor Ryo Horikawa and Brandon Lee share a bday, while Karasu-sama chose March 31st as his own bday which is the death date of Brandon Lee which I hadn't known at the time.
This is my tribute to Karasu-sama 🐦⬛ where I also keep our The Crow 🐦⬛ DVD (and various other keepsakes such as (Atsushi) Sakurai Drops, the candy by Acchan the frontman of BUCK-TICK who is my visual muse for Karasu-sama as well as the one our Halloween 🎃 baby boy Atsushi Love 💕 was named after, and Karasu-sama's English voice actor Kyle Hebert's autograph from a mutual). Last year we went to see The Crow 🐦⬛ in theatres, the re-release of the original movie with Brandon Lee; twas an amazing day! I'm happy we got to see it in theatres together with our Little Crow Goblins, our helpers/friends, and my brother Micky. =^.^= 🤍
