A much beloved artist has died. R.I.P. Darkzel. :'(
12 years ago
I was just informed via journal entry: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4606152/
darkzel, one of the most friendly, quirky artists I've ever had the pleasure of getting a commission from... was just killed in South Korea. Of all things, run over by a fucking bus as he was crossing the street. I don't know who is to blame for this horrible thing... But if you got something from him, or knew him personally, please go pay your respects.
I'm gonna miss his cute art, and his pleasant, quirky personality.
Admittedly, I really didn't know him very well. But the fact that I'm broken up by his passing just shows how good a person he was.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Always been a fan of his artwork, been actually wondering where he has been... now I know. ._.
I'll never get used to the random cruel nature of life.
Who's the other one? :(
it was a friday and he had come over to help me fix my computer with another buddy of ours. aside from that, we kicked it that day. come sunset, I dropped him off at the bus stop. pops asked him if he wanted a lift home and he declined, said there was some other things he had to take care of. I never knew that would be the last time I saw him ever. I was more stoked for the annual family gambling trip that was to happen the next morning. the trip was lackluster, and when I got back, I decided I would go to the mall, since it was 7 p.m. at the time. I found out from one of his sister's buds who I was cool with some odd news (I found it odd at the time). he asked me if I saw my buddy and I said he was over my house yesterday and asked why... I was told that he died.
I didn't cry, but I was pissed, so I walked home and delivered the news to my mom, at the same time his folks called the house and confirmed it. he was leaving the tram station and corring the street in the crosswalk with the right of way when some hispanic woman in an SUV swerved around another driver on a yellow light turning red. she ran the light and hit my bud as he crossed the street. a cousin of mine was at the accident holding my friend and witnesses held that bitch at the scene of the crime until help arrived. he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition...
he died in the hospital that same saturday morning I went to go gambling. the tram station was five blocks away from where he lived and he died at the young age of 20, four months before his 21st birthday.
I know the sting of losing one of your peoples, it sucks bad, so you have my condolences
please tell me the coward who caused this was brought to justice
I have no compassion for ego maniacs behind the wheel of suv's who think they can just run all over and try and over power the people under them. Lets hope karma visit this ass hole and gives her a nice little wake up call. fro the death they cause a few years just does not cut it it is man slaughter plain and simple.I say life in an iso cube should do the trick
I am truely sorry...may his soul find peace and rest upstairs.my condolences.
Though life is but a journey to the grave, it must not be taken without hope.
For only then may the traveler's story be passed on, to be cherished by those who bid him farewell.
Sadly, my guest's life has been cut short, his tale left unwritten.

May he rest in peace.
he rests now for he walks among the creators of paradise.
my sympathies to his family
