My Artwork as a Tattoo

A few years ago, I was commissioned to do a logo design for a therapy business.

 This business wanted it to be a feminine-tribal phoenix. 

I completed the logo for them and they loved it so much that they got tattoos of it! 

I recently obtained a photo of the tattoo. It is so cool and encouraging to see my art this way! 

If you are interested in commissioning an art piece, contact me at: TatiMariArt@gmail.com 

I have been mainly doing paintings, drawings, small sculptures, wood burning, and tattoo design but I would love to broaden my horizons!

Self Portrait

My self portrait for my college art class is finished!

I went through all my sketchbooks from 2009-present to find my most iconic, favorite doodles/drawings. I then scanned them into my computer, resized them, put them into gray scale, printed them out, cut them out, and then applied them to my self portrait. Of course there is quite a bit of symbolism and meaning within the composition but I shan't bore you.

College Project

Oh college. All consuming it is! However, I have not forgotten about my art! In fact, I am taking an art class in order to keep on doing art and keep my sanity. This post is to show off a project that is in progress. It is a self portrait. It will include all of my iconic, favorite doodles from 2009-present! It was fun to go back in my sketchbooks and collect them all. I'm posting some of my absolute favorites here to share with you. =)

 Stay tuned for more book cover designs for Denae Christine as well! Book 2 is out on Amazon already!

Big Projects 2015!

Since the last book cover design (see last blog post), I have done many small sketches and small projects. Tune back in for this years' Christmas card design, more book cover designs, and more from my new excursion of portrait work! Until then, enjoy the past three big projects I've done.

First ever window painting job. B's Coffee in Fort Collins.

Portrait class at college is really stretching me!  Here's my first ever finished portrait.

Flying Lizards

These guys are about an inch tall. Doodled on my notes during class and colored with a highlighters.

Menacing?

My first attempt at a truly menacing beast that actually almost worked. This is a picture I plan on doing again in the future and simply put it on a black background to make it much cooler.

Curiosity

This was done for a friend of mine who loves dragons. I need to work on scales. I'd like to work on colored backgrounds as well. Black backgrounds would be really cool to master.

Playtime

This picture was done for a friend at college who is very indecisive and had no idea what her favorite animal is so I drew all of them for her. :)
