Hi there! I’m Tatiana Viana Maia (aka Tati), a brazilian artist, illustrator and blogger. This blog is made to share a little of my work and things I love…
My life is divided into studying english and web design, doing illustrations, practicing Kung Fu, loving my partner, Fernando, and my cute dogs - Dexter, the Shih Tzu and Spock, the Maltese.
If I tell you that I live in Brazil, it would be a vague information, because… you know, that’s a big country! So, precisely, I live in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, at brazilian northeast. It’s a very sunny and hot city! It rains sometimes, but even so, we rarely have a cold weather.
What else about me? Well… I am a geek! I love comics: mainly graphic novels, japanese and european comic books; I’m such an Apple-Head and totally support Linux and open source projects; I like watching TV series and movies (The Big Bang Theory, Friends, Lost, Dexter, Battlestar Galactica, House M.D., etc, etc, etc….); and, the most important: I’m one of Bruce Dickinson’s biggest fan; oh, and I can’t forget to mention that I LOVE BLOGGING!
Since I was a kid, I am completely in love with my art. And since then I try to keep it alive. I have only one dream: spread my art to the world. There’s no place for me in brazilian design and art market… I want and need something bigger than this country can offer. So, that’s why I am learning english and using internet to make my dream come true.
A little more about me as professional… First of all, check out my illustration gallery, hehe! I am a self taught artist and designer. Everything I know I learned working (since I was 16), studying in my bedroom and having friends’ support.
I really love languages and computing, and I’m planning to learn Spanish, French, Italian, Programming, CSS3, HTML5, etc, etc. Just need some free time to do that!
Well, that’s a little about me. Would love to read about you… If you want, contact me, please!
Hugs!
