| Chakra Series Published | ||
| 28th January 2008 | ||
| Last year's Chakra series of paintings have now been published as CD cover art for "A Journey Through The Chakras", available from Head2Toe Massage. | ||
| I have returned from my travels early for personal reasons. Whilst I was away, I completed my first full colour ballpoint pen drawing, The Prisoner, depicting a butterfly symbolically trapped underground. Although the shading technique involved with biro work can be very time consuming, the patience it demands makes it incredibly therapeutic. | ||
| Gone Travelling | ||
| 1st September 2007 | ||
| This will be my last website update until next summer, as I am soon to be setting off backpacking around Australia. I have now added the chakra series to my online store, which now sells mugs, coasters, postcards, and canvas prints as well as high quality photo prints of various sizes, and will remain up and running while I'm away. I will also be updating my deviant art page with my latest artwork, and can still be contacted through the contact form. | ||
| Chakra Series Complete | ||
| 13th August 2007 | ||
| My latest painting, Crown Chakra is the final image in the Chakra series. The crown chakra is represented by a meditating figure as a symbol of spiritual aspiration, and also incorporates all the lower chakra points to effectively finalise the series. Throat Chakra and Third Eye Chakra have also been added to the painting gallery. | ||
| The fourth addition to the painting gallery today is Mute Fairy, my latest fantasy image. The fairy herself was painted some time ago, and can be seen with a photoshop background in the digital gallery. The traditional watercolour background was only recently completed. I've made the traditional image starker and less vibrant, to fit with the sombre mood created by the fairy's facial expression. | ||
| Chakra Series Continues | ||
| 6th July 2007 | ||
| The Chakra series continues, with three more editions to the Painting Gallery. | ||
| New Painting Series Underway | ||
| 13th June 2007 | ||
| My latest work is the painting, Base Chakra, which will be the first in a series of seven. The base chakra represents survival, security, confidence and strength. This series is inspired by the holistic therapy of Mary Dalgleish. | ||
| Welcome to Calanooka.com | ||
| 7th May 2007 | ||
| This site replaces AngelOfStrangeness as my online portfolio. New features are the photography gallery and free stuff page, which contains banners and desktop wallpapers. New images are available in the brand new deviantART store, which for the moment just sells photo prints. Leeds based people will soon be able to buy my old stock from various venues at massively reduced prices, as I'm selling everything off before going on my travels in September :) | ||
