Dog Soldier

We can plan for the worst, but that should never stop us living for the better

About Me

True Gothism comes from deep within.
Regardless of age you are never to old to be Goth.


Life is never what it seems
In the forests of our dreams
In the deserts of our soul
In the hearts of lonely old
In the blindness of our sight
In this cold and waisted life

Close your just for a moment and imagine; and see the beauty and the colour in the world, because, its often hardest to see when our eye’s are open.

Interesting people, yes I know that is a cliché, as everyone is interesting to someone. I have many interests including art, philosophy, science, religion (even though I’m not a Christian or follow any other religious group or denomination), movies, music, cars, dogs, and so much more; you name it ? Therefore, anyone really.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. But sometimes, just sometimes, it once again bursts into flame by an encounter with another human being.

We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit." ~ Albert Schweitzer

"Until there's none, adopt one homeless pet"


There’s just something about wolves.

Recognition.
Copyright, John Hodgson 2007

Beautiful creatures, which suffer at the hands of man.


*Vicious
*Nasty
*Untrustworthy.
AndI’m not talking about the wolf!

Welcome, to the layer of the Dog Soldier.

I love the worlds of the dark and Gothic. Art; in it's many forms has always played a huge role in my life. Until an accident a few year ago, I produced my own music however, since then I have delved into the digilat worlds of surreal, abstract, dark and Gothic art, however, my closest friend convinsed me to try my hand with the brush. So here I sit, just a few weeks in and have found something which I enjoy as much as the music I have lost.and I'll never be able to thank her for that. I am a long way away from what I would like, however, at least I'm on the right path.

I do hope you like my work, but if not, thats okay because art is in the eye of the beholder.

Someday, I will fade away!

My tastes are simple, yet complex. Varied yet focused.
I live in a world of the mundane, yet I yearn for the mysteries which life can afford.

My quest for this; the truth, has led to many strange and wonderful realms, yet still I live in the world of the mundane.

I have my passions, passions which I hold dear; close to my heart. Art, Music, the Gothic culture, and my dogs. They are my companions; they walk with me through this existence. This Gothic life; this Gothic world.

I’m no-longer a teenager, yet I love this Gothic realm. A realm, which can be a lonely place, yet can be filled with wonderful people. And yes, my best friend; once lost in this mundane world. Yet, no-longer.

Welcome to my world

I like this quote

***

Only as we accept others appreciation for our work can we appreciate our own because we know someone has found pleasure in what we have done. This, then, is the purpose of our creations, is it not? We want to evoke some reaction from those who view our art. When we have accomplished that feat, we can begin to appreciate our art, not necessarily for its merits, but for its ability to touch another.

Music:

I love so many forms of music, from metal to techno to classical, although I’m not a fan of The Mamas and the Papas, I have to say without a doubt, this is my all time favourite song.


Music, where on earth do I begin?

My music tastes are vast; I listen to, and enjoy what I want. It's that SIMPLE. From Classical to heavy metal, from folk to hard core trance, 20's, 30's 40's and everything in-between. If I like it then I will listen, because music is an important part of my life. Far too important to deny a style because some fool thinks it's un-cool.

When all is said an done, cool music is just someone else's opinion, and lets face facts, opinions are like arses, everybody has one.

When I die, I hope there is music

Movies:

.. I like the Classics, but modern stuff is good too. I like most types from Sci-fi to dramas. Choosing one or two movies is difficult; my choices would vary from day to day and depends greatly on my moods

Television:

.. In recent years I have lost interest in TV. I hate reality shows and find myself watching more documentaries that anything. All I can say is thank God for the discovery Channel when I’m suffering from insomnia

Books:

..

I wished I had more time to read. Like most things, my taste in reading material varies depending on my mood…

However, I have read everything from Dante, to Shakespeare, Stephen King to Anne Rice; along with numerous books on science, technology, religion, mythology, you name it; I love to read.

Words to live by...
"There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual - become clairvoyant. We reach then into reality. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom.
It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.
At such times there is a song going on within us, a song to which we listen. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We would continue to hear it. But few are capable of holding themselves in the state of listening to their own song. Intellectuality steps in and as the song within us is of the utmost sensitiveness, it retires in the presence of the cold, material intellect. It is aristocratic and will not associate itself with the commonplace - and we fall back and become our ordinary selves. Yet we live in the memory of these songs which in moments of intellectual inadvertence have been possible to us. They are the pinnacles of our experience and it is the desire to express these intimate sensations, this song from within, which motivates the masters of all art.'
-Robert Henri
