My name is Marissa Rivera, I am 20, I enjoy drawing and I also have epilepsy. I have had epilepsy since I was 3 years old. why am I mentioning this? because lots of artist's throughout history had epilepsy including... Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh and Michelangelo. I am in no way comparing my self to these amazing artists in history, rather I believe that my epilepsy may contribute to my art and my creativity. --- I am certified in adobe Photoshop CS5 (back in 2012) --- my favorite color is blue (with purple as a strong second) --- hobbies include: drawing, Photoshop, and tumblr
Sorry for the long period of inactivity followed by the influx of deviations.
The truth is I haven't drawn anything in awhile because I've picked up a new hobby, making sock monkeys (if you couldn't tell from my deviations.) :P
the sock monkey I made for the Orlando shooting victims has finally been dropped off at the big memorial at the Dr. Philips center for the performing arts. I will miss Pulse the monkey because he is the first sock monkey I have ever made. but he is in a better place <3
I have been spending the entire day mourning the victims of the shooting at Pulse night club. I have been crying all day and asking myself "why are you crying?" nobody you knew died" "you are not gay, you have no right to cry". it was then I realize that terrorist did not just attack the lgbt community, but he attacked citizens of Orlando. I have been so depressed recently and this shooting has made me realize how small my problems really are and how short life is. my heart and my tears are with the lives lost, the people injured, and the families affected. it is terrible that the biggest mass shooting in American history happened at an lgbt
