Tati, the Artsy

A couple of nights ago, finally I had a dream. “Finally”, because usually I don’t remember my dreams, just sleep and wake up. Yeah, that’s weird… That’s me.
I dreamed I was flying and traveling through Brazil… From Rio Grande do Norte (where I live) to Rio Grande do Sul.
So real! I felt the wind in my face and hands! And I was not flying like Superman… I did as if I really would have the power of flying… Not speedy, just normal: stopping in all brazilian states, resting in hotels, eating and meeting new people. When I opened my eyes and realized it was just a dream, I cried. As I told you, it was very, very real!
Perhaps it means that I’m a kind of person who needs a little more freedom.

I am one of Bruce Dickinson’s biggest fans, and that’s the caricature I made, years ago (2006). I like to do it sometimes, and I think I’m good drawing people. This is one of my favourites, because we can see that’s really Bruce (By the way, he thanked himself for this caricature in his radio show!). It scares me a little, because, it seems like he’s looking at me!
This quote is from an Iron Maiden’s song called Chains of Misery.

I’ve been busy… Ok, I already said that! Anyway… Just stopping to show all stuff I’m working on: retouching My Balloon, Musik and Tooongue; creating new paintings and original arts; and making a sample of my Caricature on Canvas commission project (By the way, this one wearing a Batman t-shirt is my husband, Fernando) – I’ll speak about it soon, but if you’re interested, email me. Painting is really relaxing, I’m enjoying and having a lot of fun!

Does this illustration reminds you something? Yeah, I decided to paint that. Pink, black, white and grey… those colours are a good combination. Well, I missed her shoulder before, but added now, as you can see. And… I love this one!

This illustration was made a long time ago… It’s just a personal project for my portfolio. I used to create vector images for years, but nowadays I preffer digital and traditional paintings. The girl’s expression is lovely and this cat looks really cute…
I’m going to put prints of this artwork on sale soon. It’s pretty good for kids bedroom, isn’t it?

I just want to introduce you the stylish wallets made by Boreal, from New Castle, UK! I met Chris Barter on CA Forum, and he invited me to be one of their artists, so I sent him my designs: Little Bird, Kisses, Purple Dream and Voodoo Doll. Each wallet costs just £20 and it’s handmade (PVC and canvas). To buy or see more wallets, just check out Boreal Wallets’ website.

This is the illustration I made for Iron Maiden’s Xmas card contest. I almost missed the deadline… Actually I finished this painting at deadline day! Hard work… Really hard! Because of that I got RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury). But don’t worry, I’m fine and safe now. My Facebook friends are very confident, cheering for me. I am not. I never won any contest and, by the way, I don’t like art contests! But, as I’m Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson’s fan, nothing better than have fun.
Just more one comment: I love my Eddie-Aviator…. He’s looking so cute!
