Hello to all who still keep up with Deviant Art,

I realize it’s been 7 years since my last journal entry.

It’s an estimate year since I last upload a piece on here.

I am pleased and overjoyed to announce, I have a husband, Richard, we exchanged everlasting vows on August 14, 2021. Making me a Señora, lol.

Our love blossomed and continue grow ever since we began our relationship in July 2017.

In reference to name changes, I decided to change my username to AbandonArtworks. This is truly fitting to the fact I have been twice diagnosed with ADHD. I have long went undiagnosed throughout my youth and adulthood. It’s pretty telling as I look through the many abandoned artworks, ideas, purchase of art media and supplies in order to chase my dopamine. On top of having perfection issues with. Having strong starts and weak finishes on pieces as well. Which is very telling amongst the struggles that come with ADHD. Actually not struggles but challenges, which I am currently learning to manage.

I do have plans to commit more my time to my art. Which I look forward towards as well as my future with my husband and our dog Clyde.


Until next time,

Dora

First off! I am horrible at trying to update my Deviant Art for the longest time! I know I promised to like 2 years ago but adult responsibilities happened in my life that my art life was put on hold. I have been here for 11 years and Deviant Art has played a huge part of my life for the better of those 6 years. Slowing, I decided to solely focus on my adult life and didn't bother to come back to Deviant Art. I was pretty much bitter because it was HUGE REMINDER that I didn't succeed in my art career. Currently I am on vacation and guess what happened? I spent most of my time with art and doing a graffiti style mural for the place I am working out at. It showed me that people still want me to create art for them and I am grateful for that. I still would love to be a part of the art community or have art still play a part in my life. I'm inspired to keep putting more effort into my art.
My goal is to make more efforts to update more art on here and I do apologize for the lack of it.

Thank you!
Much love!

OH CRAP!

I've been out of touch with Deviant Art and I will make sure it won't happen again. I am considering removing some of my manga/anime drawings due to the fact there has been idiots commenting. It mean some clean ups will happen in my gallery and I pretty going to still do some original works and some fan art as well but with my own spin to it. Here is what is going in my life:
  1. I have a great job with a good pay! 
  2. I have a car!
  3. I am a proud Auntie to my cute nephew!
  4. I was in Mexico last Dec 2012 and got to see my relatives on my mom's side for the first time in 10 years! 
  5. I have way too many Work In Progress works that need to be finish. 
  6. Yes, it's fan art.
  7. My sister inspired me to make a bucket list! 
  8. I watch Pacific Rim with my boyfriend and it's a fucking awesome movie.
That's pretty much it! Sorry I haven't been up to date!

I've learned a long time ago that things come and go in my life. I never hope it lasts forever. Why? Because you never know what comes tomorrow and I'm still young. I don't mean to sound negative but its the truth and that's how I feel about it. I rather live life to the fullest meaning moving forward. You can't move forward asking yourself what if? why didn't I do this different? too much of a waste of time. You deal with it and know better now. I'm 20 years old and I used to ask those questions but you know what it's a waste of time. I say fuck it (excuse my language) because there are people out there in bad situations and no use for me to dwell on something that can be changed easily or with hard work on my own. Yes I can vent out whatever I'm feeling but I can change things. Just talk the talk and walk the walk. I'm at peace with everything in my life, I just know with hard work I can move much more forward. Which is why I'm getting my driver's license. I realized I made too many excuses with getting my driver's license and it handicap me with many chances I could of had. I'm way overdue there's nothing wrong at getting my license at my age I just need to stop talking a game and do it.

I will talk about another thing I've seen happened a lot lately my age, marriage. Yes getting married at 20 or younger. There's nothing wrong with it, marriage isn't for everyone it's a lot of work. Then there are divorces at my age as well. This is why you shouldn't get married young, people need to think it through and what is involved. I don't honestly want to get married anytime soon, I honestly don't see myself being married until I'm 28 or wee bit older. Why is it? I'm already married to my art. It's my life and takes up all of it. So anybody in a relationship at my age or younger think through about what you want first, college degree, a good career going and etc before you jump into marriage. It pisses me off people go into marriage without thinking it through. I see gays who have been in relationship for 17 years (they are pretty much marriage) and they want that right so badly to be married! That's why I wanted to talk about. To those who are married and making it work congrats. I hope to see gays getting married in all 50 states asap.

Peace, Love and Art.

Out of nowhere this memories came to me a couple minutes ago and it me was being made fun by people during middle school and high school. I remember I used wear really boyish clothes during middle school I had my hair tied back never letting it loose. I used always wear a long over sized black jacket then people kept calling me matrix then I stopped wearing it. I used draw on myself then my parents kept getting mad at me for doing it so I stopped drawing on myself. I used to draw on my book bag until a couple of my classmates said it was stupid then I sprayed paint it black so they would stop making fun of me. I used wear a orange jacket then I was made fun because of that jacket. I remembered getting hit in the eye by a basketball by accident not on purpose causing me to temporarily lose my eyesight. It was then a class walked by and these girls were confused if I was boy or a girl. I wanted to tell them I'm a girl. Of course I couldn't see who was saying it and they were gone by the time my eyesight came back. I never really thought about these memories because I buried them in me. I used be comfortable in those clothes because they fitted me. My parents never taught me the word normal or used it. On my own I thought my appearance and the things I do wasn't normal. That being laughed at and made fun of was because I didn't look or act normal. I started to care what people think about me. I should have never cared, they aren't going to help me do art or get a job. Being different isn't a bad thing. My sense of clothes is a lot better now getting touch with my love of fashion (I love Harpers Bazaar magazine) . I love my curves but I do desire to lose a little fat here and there! I love my tattoo and the ones I will get soon. The little not normal things I did back then and still do now nobody really understood. That's just me it's who I am and nothing can changed that. You never know where being different will get you to. Following your passion is the number 1 thing everyone should have. Without art I don't know where I would be today. Also not being taught the word normal I turned out to be really content with my life.

Peace Art and Love
Dora
