Tatiana Gill’s Blog of Wax

Hey if you’re on Facebook and you want to be my fan, “like” me, or just see more comix, my artist page is here. I’ve posted a bunch of my old comics and illo work on there too.

With a whole new direction…rather than trying to capture women I know and admire, I am trying to capture the essence of spirts I admire, inspired by real life women.

Inspired by my pal Lara’s incredible photography and fellow love of cupcakes.

Inspired by my friend Kim’s love of dancing and music.

This one is inspired by my inner cowgirl and my robot dinosaur Charlie the Pleo <3

I haven’t been drawing much since starting a new job, but here’s some of the stuff I drew since last I updated!

I want to spend more time KNITTING, so I’m stopping doing this daily. I’ll still draw lots and post em here often!

Whew, I went backpacking this weekend so have to catch up on these…here’s a week’s worth!

Here are some pics I’ve taken of my knitting

Comics and knitting, together at last!

Some ‘dream projects’ inspiration from Etsy:

 

4 new ones!

hehe, i drew this last one on a moving bus…

Like many artists before me I have a dayjob. I really lucked out with my current gig - I temp at Microsoft as a web editor/designer/writer, and sometimes using words and screenshots to make a User Guide feels a lot like comics (although I still don’t get to draw the screenshots)

Anyways the longer I work there the cooler I think it is, they really let me use my skills and gifts to make things better. I haven’t ‘drunk the kool-aid’ but I might have nibbled on a fruit plate. So I’m SO EXCITED to be getting a Microspotting T-Shirt (Microspotting.com is currently featuring my amazing friend John a.k.a. Terrene) from Ariel Meadow Stallings, I’ll post a picture soon. Meanwhile I’ll post a pic montage of the inspiration I see around me.
