Why Colorcrow?
My nickname comes from a tattoo I have on my arm, which portrays colorful crow on top of some books by the artist Taylor Catclaw (@taylorcatclaw). The crow has historically been related to knowledge, the link to the inevitable death of everything, and the pain associated with it. Furthermore, it is also part of the symbol of the city I was born in, Lisbon, where two crows are seen at the edges of a ship. It is also a constant presence in the tales of the unknown from authors like H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe (hence the books).
