Blogs are awesome! I’ve been blogging for years, and don’t remember how many I have created and deleted. Looking my backup DVDs days ago, I found the archive of one I wrote in 2004/2005. What a nostalgic reading! I think I know almost all blog platforms on web: Blogger, WordPress.com, WordPress.org, Tumblr… Love trying everything online! Tatimaia.com is a self hosted WordPress blog, but it had a Blogspot url before. There are people who don’t like Blogger, but, honestly, I think it’s really good too. I have a crush on it, and tried to use my account for personal stuff. But I’m not so patient. Well, you know, I’m an unquiet and creative mind… So, I always close this kind of stuff. Meh! I’m sure I will open another one, someday. And delete again! LOL

But, this one, my official, lovely and not-often-updated blog will not be closed. Actually, I’m planning a big layout change and also learning some SEO strategies. Let’s see if it works.

The best part of blogging is meeting other bloggers. And I am very pleased to help my comrades! The illustration above I did for Nadine‘s Blog. In my portfolio and shops’ images, you can see some more I have drawn.

Kisses!

Aloha! I’m alive and back to the blogging life!

The illustration above is one of my personal projects, entitled Kisses. Actually that’s a remake of an old one with new background. Everything was done using my Wacom Bamboo.

Also… I’d like to let you know that prints of some illustrations – including Kisses – are available in my Society6 shop!

Update:
My Twitter username is now @tatiartsy. If you already follow me, I hope you have noticed that!

Fernando Aureliano, my husband, is designing his blogs, and these are the illustrations I did of him. The first and the ninja ones are for his portfolio; and the third is for his blog about OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Yeah, I’m married to a blogger, iPad programmer and web developer that suffers from OCD… and love him so much! <3

This is just a test. Nothing great; it’s me, blablabling. But, if you want to know me, hear my voice, see my stuff… well, watch it!

Hello, there! Just stopping to share some sketches, doodles and ideas I had in my free times. Nothing great, just rough sketches, but… well… people told me they like when I do this kind of stuff!

Everybody likes zombies… Well, not me. Not so much… That’s me, “zombined”. And I even drawn my belly… hehe!

A cute elephant… A dinosaur in love… Spock and Dexter… By the way, 19th January was Dexter’s birthday! Oh, boy… My baby is 2 years old already??? Kids grow fast, eh?

What can I say about this one? Well… I like japanese girls. Specially their eyes. Actually, I love drawing eyes. And, as you may notice, I love my felt markers too!

I told you that I am working a lot, didn’t I? And here we go again with a couple of illustrations for Elo7. They were made for an animated banner at Casamenteiras blog, a site about wedding, first home and first baby.

These are not just cute illustrations… I did a lot of research and had to combine the kind of products we can find on Elo7 with the main subjects of Casamenteiras. So, you can see a wedding cake topper, handmade flowers, jewelry, decoration stuff and even a baby carrier!

It’s a pleasure to work with! Elo7 is a nice client and always let me free for creating. Pretty cool!

Speaking about handmade stuff… That’s my Etsy shop.

E, se estiver interessado… Esta é a minha loja no Elo7!

First of all: happy new year!

This is the first sketch of 2011 I drew today. Just a mindless drawing in my sketchbook, using colored pencil and a red felt marker. Sorry for the lack of posts, but I’m working a lot. It seems that it will be a great year for me! Hope so!

That’s one of the coolest Cartoon Of You commissions that I’ve been working last month: a gift from Klaus Schuller for Caitlin Howden, one of The Second City‘s actors that are playing Something Wicked Awesome This Way Comes in Toronto. Yeah, you read it right! I said The Second City – the great theatre company! Pretty cool, eh?

From left to right: Steve, Mark, Kris, Adam, Caitlin, Dale, Rob and Inessa. Wow! I still remember their names!

I love the way that internet connects me with people from countries that I’ve never been. Oh, I would love to see them playing; they look so funny at the reference pics! We don’t have something like that in Brazil. You, canadians and americans are lucky! But, I am planning to visit Toronto in 2011 and watching The Second City’s spectacle is the first item in my list!

Thanks, Klaus! Very cool to work with you!

If you follow me on Twitter, you must know that I’ve been very busy this month, working a lot on illustrations and commissions which unfortunately I couldn’t share or show any sketch. But, finally I can do it! One of the coolest works I’ve done are the Elo7‘s illustrations! Above, just a banner for the Shampoo de Laranja blog; below, a couple of Twitter illustrations.

As I’ve told you, Elo7 is a brazilian site for buying and selling handmade stuff. Yes, exactly like Etsy. It’s a great opportunity that happened to me: just opened my shop there, and the Admins loved my stuff so much that they ordered those artworks! I’m so lucky, am I not?

Don’t you find this blonde girl so cute? And the blue bird? I do! I do! I really love her and the way my style is getting better. I know I am such a multi-artist, but that’s my favorite technique. Doing this sort of thing makes me very, very happy!

All right… Portuguese mode on…

Obrigada, Elo7! Tô bem feliz de ter criado a menininha pra vocês, e  espero poder ajuda-los mais vezes.

Praqueles interessados: minha lojinha, onde vendo pinturas, Prints, caricaturas, etc, é tatimaia.elo7.com.br!

If you’re wondering what I’ve been doing lately, this blog post is for you. While I’m working a lot doing illustrations (I can’t share them now, sorry), cartoons and housework , I’m doing also some personal stuff for listing in my shop very soon. The drawings above are ACEO paintings in progress (ACEO - Art Cards, Editions and Originals). Just waiting for the colors.

Speaking about ACEO… I discovered that I am not so stupid as I said. Yeah, I took a picture of the one I did for Angie! It was just a photography test, because I am trying to remake the items’ pics in my shop (they are horrible!). Oh, good that I did it! Fortunately I have something to share, eh? Well, this photo looks great. I’ve forgotten to take off the plastic, but, anyway… Looks great.

Hello!

I'm Tatiana Maia, or just Tati! A brazilian artist, illustrator and blogger who loves sundays! And I cartoon people too!
