My name is Dustin Pina. Currently art and photography are merely a hobby and are not a profession. I hope for this to change someday, as I would very much love to be able to be a full time artist. I am sure a lot of people on this website would love to be full time artists, if they are not already of course. I mainly enjoy drawing anime style art, for humans at least. I have been just naturally drawing a more anime styled human for quite a long time. It is the easiest for me to draw. I am able to draw in other styles, but it is not quite up to par.
Photography is something I feel I am good at. I feel as though with the right camera and marketing I could very well be a good photographer. I probably should tone down with the filters though. I am working on things to improve my photography constantly, but right now I have nothing but my iPhone camera, which doesn't take horrid shots, but of course there is a lot of improvement that I could make that would be made far easier with a good camera.
A bit about myself? I love horror themed artwork--- probably a little too much. I guess it just inspires me, makes me think, and makes me joyful. I love horror movies. They are a lot of fun. In my house that is kind of the "movie night" that goes on. My dad and two sisters, sitting crammed on the couch stuffing our faces while watching a rated R horror flick (amusing that my 13 year old and 10 year old sisters can handle them, but they do, and never have troubles sleeping.)
I own two cats, Aslan (Orange and white tabby) and Caspian (black and white cat) and they are brothers. I love them to death.
I am bisexual, and I love supporting the LGBT community. I am also Poly. I figured this out pretty recently actually. I always thought myself to be selfish-- or that I would want monogamous relationships, not wanting to share people. Then I took a look at the benefits, the far better lifestyle it provided me with, etc. and realized that it WAS for me. I did want to have multiple partners, and I was capable of doing that without jealousy-- or feelings of upset. I am an oddball, that is for sure. But in the end I don't have a problem with the life I have. I do what I love. I have amazing people in my life-- and I am finally comfortable with myself, and who I am as a person.
