My first watercolor painting, finished tuesday, entitled Bloody Heart. It measures 20.9 x 29.5 cm (approx. 8.2 x 11.6 inches – almost an A4 size) and was inspired in one of my mindless doodles. So cool when it happens, eh? Good ideas coming from a relaxed mind… No stress at all. I love it!

Instead of doodling in my sketchbook, I’m doing that in a blank (not anymore, as you can see) paper that supposed to be for notes. But, you know what? It’s so cool! From now on, that’s what I’m going to do… Always have a blank paper near from me. The best part: mindlessly some work is done. XD
You’re going to see some of those doodles as illustrations really soon!
My husband and I are totally nerds (and geeks). Our conversations are 90% about comics, movies, books, tv series, Apple stuff, web and everything unusual for normal couples. Last week, for some reason I don’t remember, we were talking about super heroes and instinctively I started to doodle this illustration: Dexter wearing a Batman costume!
Isn’t my baby the cutest Shih Tzu ever?
Tell me the truth… Have it already happened to you? If so, say “yeeeeeearghhh”… Step in a bubble gum, in my opinion, is one of the world’s worst things ever! Just imagine that: you’re walking the streets, listening to your iPod, totally disconnected from this world… then, you feel something under your shoe sticking to the floor! I reeeeeeeeally hate that! That’s why I always put the chewed bubble gums in the trash can. And I hope you do it too… When we do it, we’re saving lives!
I created this artwork years ago, maybe 2007, for a t-shirt contest but it didn’t win. As I told you, I never won any contest! I’m not lucky at all… Anyway, that was a nice time, because I was in a “vector mood” and Bubble Gum is one of some cool artworks I did, like Voodoo Doll, Little Bird, etc, etc (all of them in my portfolio). Nowadays I am in this painting and sketching mood, but I’m thinking about back to the vector side. I’m not a good fan of it, actually. However, I think my best creations are vectors.
Yesterday afternoon a friend of mine, Fabio, invited my husband and I to go to the beach. Nothing so special, at least for me. Ponta Negra is not a good beach. There are pollution and everything else… But, for Dexter, our 1-year-old Shih Tzu dog, it was amazing, because it was the first time he saw the sea!
So, I’m sharing some photos for those who love dogs or Shih Tzu fans.
Well… Do you have a dog too? Or would you love to have one? Do you like pets?
Anyway… Everything (thoughts or photos) you want to share with me, you can use the comment box bellow or just message me!
This is Eloise, a stylish character created by Kate Gabrielle. She’s an artist who I follow on Twitter (@flapperdoodle and @KateGabrielle).
When I was doodling in my sketchbook, for some reason I remembered her and did this drawing. Anyway, that’s the way I imagine Eloise.
PS.: I hope you like, Kate!
I hate waiting at the doctor’s office… I really do. Don’t you? So, I hate also being sick, because I know I have to see my doc. Well, there’s no problem with my doctor; the problem is spend hours sitting in a chair… waiting. And, the worst part of it? I was the last patience! Then, this impatient patience had to sketch a lot. This drawing above (colours are digital) is my favorite of them!
Reading this, you may ask: Tati, are you sick? Hmmmm… Not sick, in terms. I have been suffering from high cholesterol and triglycerides levels for a couple of years, and lately I’m feeling heartburns (funny word… it has nothing to do with my heart). But don’t worry, everything is fine now. My levels are normal, it’s not gastritis as I thought, I’m on a diet, taking medicines and doing exercises.
Keeping this blog updated… This is a personal illustration which I made last year, but recently painted. By the way, I just uploaded some more illustrations to the Gallery page. Oh, yeah… Finally I found my backup CDs, as well as my old drawings. 
4th May was my birthday… Oh, I am very sorry for didn’t let you know about that! You know… That old story: busy, as always! Doing what? Studying and learning how to have a little more discipline and be more dedicated. And, as the time goes fast and we have a lot of informations and things to do, it’s getting really difficult to focus on something… Don’t you think?
Well, that’s one of the thoughts I have every birthday. Actually I’m passing through the “27-year-old crisis” (I think I just created this term). That’s weird, because I’m almost 30! And… A few years ago I was 15! Wait… Where’s my 15??? I want my 15 back!!! o_O’
Ok… Breathing…
I had a cool day. Honestly, this 4th May was very weird. My hubby upseted me (whatever reason), and I spent all morning crying and finding me a looser. But, we had a talk and things back to normal. We went out for lunch, etc, etc… and I had a kind of “surprise” party. Yeah, “surprise”! Have you ever seen someone organizing a surprise party via Twitter? So, Nando did it.
It was very nice. I’ve got some gifts, including two books that I want to share with you: The Acrylic Artist’s Bible, by Marylin Scott and the brazilian version of Computer Arts’ The Book of Inspiration. Both are amazing and exactly what I need now! The first one is all in spanish… That’s cool, because I just started a spanish course on Livemocha. But, the most interesting is a word I saw there: “abocetado”. It makes me laugh a lot! In portuguese, “boceta” is a bad language that means “vagina” (don’t teach this to your kids, please)… Then, see “boceta” as a verb, adverb (or something grammatical I don’t remember) is very funny. Actually, “abocetado” has to do with sketch, doodle… Nothing pornographic. Yes, we brazilians are pervert. LOL!
So… that’s all folks. Hmmmm…. 27? Really?
My husband loves games, and he got himself an Xbox 360. He plays a lot of games, my favorite is Mirror’s Edge. No… I don’t play, but I love watching Nando playing, and also games visual, concept art, etc. Hmmm… I think I will give it a try… Someday. 
That’s Faith, Mirror’s Edge main character. I love her style, clothes and oriental face (I can’t forget to mention the theme song – video below). Cool, eh?
