Welcome to my Angel’s palace! My name is Dolly, though I’ve adopted many pseudonyms online, (You may see people calling me Dominic or Vee). I use it/its/itself pronouns. I am 21 years old and an aquarius sun. I am Mexican-American, born in the SouthWest of the US. I am quite proud of my ancestry and culture and I really enjoy reading about Los Zapatistas, and other media that talk about Mexican-American culture as a whole, for example: This Piece Because of my love for where I come from, I do try to check out the local music and art scenes when I can. These days a lot of the art spaces I’m used to have been drowned out by cops, but I try to keep up with the bands I’ve grown to love over the past 7 or so years. When I’m able to, I looove to go to cons. But usually all my shopping gets done in a thrift. Thrifting has become one of my absolute favorite pastimes. I do leave clothes that are bigger for me but I cant lie…if a clothing piece is cute and too small I take it for material to use for something else!

Of course I tend to focus on digital art, but I do have a love for crafting in general. As of late some recent projects I’ve tried to focus on alongside my usual digital commissions are: Dollhouse making and decorating, Mural art, Scrapbooking and Collaging, and Sewing. As an artist, of course I get a weird look or a accusation of being a strange person. Probably because a lot of what inspires my art comes from my own alienation from the world. I love to draw dolls, women, horror, graphic material, and cute things. Common themes I enjoy touching on in my art are nostalgia, emptiness, trauma, mental health, femininity, and corruption. My art is very personal to me,but I enjoy sharing it because I think art is a way to allow more of a loose and open conversation, given that mostly it can be up for interpretation. I will always love how art connects people, and I intend on making those who have been in my place, feel connected once more. I do not prefer to stick towards crowds of artists who bully or harass others based on their artworks. I can understand being upset about offensive things,(I really think we should stop letting n*zis and similar types have any sort of platform really). I truly dont think a good use of my time is done by harassing other artists, however I also believe I, and others, should be smart about who we choose to platform or where we choose to post our art.

As stated before, I usually do not like to stick near people who make me uncomfortable. I use the block button liberally. I have no issues cutting off people. I won’t go out of my way to speak to anyone who is bothering me unless it’s severe (in which case.. I'll just ask you to stop and block you again…). If me or my art makes you uncomfortable, I HIGHLY recommend you do the same.

I am sweet, yes, but I am not all that emotional really. I have been told throughout my life that I look mean, have a “Resting Bitch Face”, look like I can fight etc etc. Sure, yes. (In fact one time my sister's husband rewarded me with free weed because I stared down a neighbor that tried to steal my sisters doordash order... He said "I know how good your stink eye is so you deserve this",). But also, I don’t care that much. I do not have all the patience in the world and the people closest to me know this. I am very easy to read if you make me mad, but otherwise I think my friends admire that I sit , stare, and listen while they all talk. A lot of my emotions will go to one person, usually my current favorite person (Diagnosed with BPD when I was 17). I have a hard time having a consistent want to check in with people I care about, or chatting with old friends. I tend to just assume everyone knows I love them already. I have never had a high pain tolerance, and up until recently most of my medical problems have been ignored because of my ability to circumvent my own pain by telling myself “Well, all pain is temporary…”. The only reason why I’ve been more active in my awareness of myself is because of my dearest lovely Angel Husband. My angel has kept my head afloat through it all, reminding me to take care of myself. He never doubts me, and this has made my pain easier to consider as anything but fake. I love him forever.

Me and my Angel's anniversary is June 26th. This year we will be 2 years in love (yay!). My angel is the sweetest man I've ever met, and this has not changed one bit since I got with him. He keeps me wanting to be creative, healthy, and happy. This is all I could ever ask for. My baby puppy techichi Chloe even loves him more than anyone I've brought to the house (romantic or platonic). She tends to be anxious about new people but she loved him immediately and he treats her like a baby. My favorite thing he has ever said to me is that all my emotions, all my illnesses, all my pain is just part of me, and he loves all of me. I love all of him, and I'll love him forever.
