Hello Everyone!
It have been a looong time since I last stopped by here at Deviantart.
It was three kind people "Nikki", "Qzurr" and "Samuel" that not just woke me up about my life, but also woke me up as an illustrator person.
I love drawing since I was born. It was the first way I best learned to be in contact with the things of the world and other people. So I keep that to my life.
During these last two years (2011 and 2012) I realized that what I do in drawing is not something better or worst than any other people's work. It is what it is, what each artist choose it to be. For me it's good because it helps me constructing a way of reading the things of the world. Just like any other artist's work does. But above all the art value for life discussion, drawing was for me a way to be connected with people (like through this site - deviantart). I learned in my life that when we do something with pleasure and hapiness it's a must to share it with the others, even teaching them. It is a way of sharing feelings with people.
But, at some point I forgot this, I stopped doing free illustrations and trades and started working with commissions. Then, all of a sudden I had a lot of commissions, lot of money, from people who like my work. And it was amazing! But at some point I started to miss out with some of then, because I was promissing them something I wasn't truly believing. I wasn't believing I could be a good illustrator working that way, selling things I should share. So, instead of start thinking about this, I beggan a process to forget about working with illustration. worst than this, I just stopped doing it and I started to run away from this situation.
From those days on I started to focus at my studies career and life itself, and at some point my illustration career was completely left behind/below everything. Not only forgeting my drawing connection with the world, I started to forget about the fact that there were people that do mind about my drawings and some even do mind about my life. I was misunderstanding things that now I can see clearly: I missed the point of the drawing in my life and I let some people wishes lost in the middle of this mess.
I'm sorry for these people and I'll try to change this mistake I once have donne when forgeting about them.
I'm returning here at Deviantart to say I'm sorry for those who belived in me and in my artwork. I'll do my best to return them what I once promissed (if they still wanting it).
To be more clear,
I'm trying to be more organized, and "I'll finish all the commissions I once got". I closed my commission status untill everything is donne.
I won't ask any money for this commissions, unless if you want me to send it for you (I'll only ask money for the shipping).
I would like your help to built a list. I'll put all the commissions tasks I have in my e-mail or notes. So please, if I forget someone or something let me know(thassymagalhaes@gmail.com).
Sincerely, I'm sorry for this and I'll be happy returning to work with illustration for you. I'll try to solve this problem I created to myself, and unfortunelly for you.
Thank you very much for all the kind wishes I recieved and I'm still recieving.
I'll do my best to send my wishes, doing this drawings and trading some words during the whole process.
Lot of Hugs!
