Nomad1978

While I haven't had an official diagnosis, I have read enough about Autism and ADHD to recognise many of the characteristics in my own behaviour: the focussing on special interests, the satisfaction of periods of my own solitude, the times when my focus zooms in on periods of busy creativity followed by periods of inactivity and wanting to focus on nothing in particular at all. In the last point, I am experiencing that now. Having periods of productive creativity followed by periods of creative lethargy has become the norm for me. I am fine with this, and I accept my own limitations. I have become philosophical about it all really. I will add more stuff to my deviantart collection, when the motivation arrives. I think it will return soon.

From time to time, I take short breaks from my content on deviantart. I have always had a highly-developed imagination, and my artwork and short stories on here are a reflection of an important aspect of this. However, at times there can also be a mental aspect to accessing, and indulging, this particular aspect of my imagination, which is why I sometimes feel the need for breaks. It feels odd to be a "good person" in lots of ways, yet have an apparent talent for depicting depravity and describing immorality with such a delicious flair. I wonder if others have had the same internal battles with their own nature?

In my creative mind, the work I've done here with the cat-walk of the "pet-girl show" (and the story of "Becoming Coco") has long been inspired by the iconic music video of George Michael's "Too Funky". Watching this video when I was growing up - and the stunning ideas of fashion designer Thierry Mugler - was a real creative inspiration, bringing all kinds of deeply-sensual images of the female form to mind. It was a definite marker in my creative journey, that helped to spark much of the ideas on display here. What kind of inspirations have others had?
