I've Got A Name

You call me a pit bull,
but I've got a name.

It may not be my first name,
it may not be my last, either,
but I do have a name.

I am not some nameless creature
for you to tag a beast -
no,
I've got a name.

It may be Seth today,
and Vegas tomorrow,
but,
no matter,
I have a name.

I am not just "dog"
I am not just "pitty",
no,
I've got a name.

I live,
and breathe,
and have feelings too.

If I am just "dog"
then what are you?

Can I call you "false hope"?
Can I call you "prison"?
Can I call you "not understanding"?

I am not just "a bully"
I am not just "a pit",
no,
believe me,
I've got a name.

This is Repo, and he's gorgeous.

He's an adorable English Bull Terrier owned by ~GevaudanJo and a second commission for her.

First commission was Pavi:

I love English Bulls, so I was really happy when she asked me to draw another one of her cute doggies!

Again, primarily Prismacolor pencils, with a watercolour wash on Strathmore Bristol Board 9"x12"

These are fantastic. And the fact that they have "Repo! The Genetic Opera" names makes it better.

These are my favorite dogs, and this is such a beautiful picture! It really showcases the unique shape of their head and eyes and the way you colored it is just awesome!

They are my favourite dogs too! I'm glad you like him! He was wonderful to draw!

Is that a little heart in his fur?

*tavington Aug 11, 2010 Professional Traditional Artist

Hehe yes there is! I saw it in the photo and thought it was really sweet!
