About

I believe some introductions are in order. I'm Tattersail. If you've read any Steven Erikson you'll recognize the name. No relation, or resemblance to, however. And you are? Ah, lovely. I'm sure making your acquaintance will be an absolute delight!

 I'm a sorta artist and an aspring writer. I draw and paint, mostly digitally and mostly Malazan Book of the Fallen-related stuff, which is awesome, btw. I also write, but I haven't been published yet. I'm working on two separate trilogies, and inbetween I write short-stories and godawful poetry. You think Vogon poetry is bad? Bah! Stay tuned.

Most of the artz wind up in my gallery at Deviantart, which you may peruse at your own peril:

But the road to my gallery is long and perilous, and many paintings and drawings are lost along the way. Most of them are discarded because I simply lose interest, or inspiration, and some are abandoned because my skills do not match my ambitions (oh, how grand they are!). I decided to dedicate a space to these brave paintings and drawings (and stories and poems...oh noes!), so that someday someone might see them...I think they'd like that.

Ah, yes. The road to a finished piece is indeed long, longer than you might think. Fortunately for you, I like to document my progress, from early sketches to completed works. I'll be putting them all in here. It'll be fun, and interesting, I promise!
This way I'll get to showcase some paintings I'm currently working on, that may never see the light of day otherwise.
You see, Time and Inspiration are fickle friends, who never want to hang out at the same time. I dunno why, maybe Time tried to poach Inspiration's boyfriend or something...who knows? Could be they both wore the same outfit at the same time. Nobody likes that.

Inbetween previous failures and possible failures-to-be, there'll be visits form Inspiration, and her friends Reference and Tutorial... oh, and cupcakes. And quite possibly a sloth or two. Gotta love those sloths!

So, stick around. Maybe you'll learn something... Probably how not to do things.
