About

My favorite fairy tale, which I discovered when I was very very young, was about a girl who was ugly and always wore ragged clothes, including a tattered hood (so everyone called her Tatterhood).  She rode a goat and carried a large wooden spoon, and even though she caused chaos she was loyal, brave and independent.

The story inspired me in many ways, both in art and ‘real life.’  I decided to use her name for my site because I identified with her, thought the name was unique, and the story has a tie in to Norse culture and goats (I just think they’re so cool).

My name is Kris Sayer (but I also respond to Kristin Sayer, Hey I Like Your Hat and ‘Yarr!’), and I work as an artist/illustrator/designer in British Columbia. I create posters, websites, invitations, comics, magazine images/layouts, cards and more but still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. Right now I’m in the game industry working for Dingo Games, but I’m also pursuing a few other (personal) projects on the side. I’m kinda shy and often put my foot in my mouth, but I’m used to strangers walking up and mocking/talking to me, so feel free to drop me a line at kris[at]tatterhood.com

There’s a lot I still have to learn, there’s still a lot of things I need to practice and experiment with. But I’m ready to tackle things head on.

With a large wooden spoon, of course.
