“All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships. There is the whole case against censorships in a nutshell.” / - George Bernard Shaw The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

“We work in the dark, We do what we can, We give what we have, Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task, The rest is the madness of art.” / - Henry James The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

“It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream.” / - Yamamoto Tsunetomo Posterlounge Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

The artist simply reveals, he doesn’t explain. Freud tried to figure this out because he felt it very important to understand what makes a creative person tick. And he said that he had failed. In other words, I don’t think that the artist is a scientist; he’s almost the antithesis of the scientist. He cannot explain, he can only state. He makes a poetic statement, and the psychiatrist figures out why that is a universal truth. The psychiatrist tells people why they behave the way they do; the artist tells how they behave. / – William Eastlake The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” / – Sir Isaac Newton, Sir Issac Newton’s Epitaph The Untapped Source Store – Portfolio/Blog – deviantART Shop / “To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.”

Red Admiral ~ Vanessa atalanta Family: Brush-footed Butterflies (Nymphalidae) Subfamily: True Brushfoots (Nymphalinae) Identification: Upperside is black with white spots near the apex; forewing with red median band, hindwing with red marginal band. The winter form is smaller and duller, summer form larger and brighter with an interrupted forewing band. Life history: The Red Admiral has a very erratic, rapid flight. Males perch, on ridgetops if available, in the afternoon to wait for females, who lay eggs singly on the tops of host plant leaves. Young caterpillars eat and live within a shelter of folded leaves; older caterpillars make a nest of leaves tied together with silk. Adults hibernate. Flight: Two broods from March-October in the north, winters from October-March in South Texas. Wing span: 1 3/4 – 3 inches (4.5 – 7.6 cm). Caterpillar hosts: Plants of the nettle family (Urticaceae) including stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), tall wild nettle (U. gracilis), wood nettle (Laportea canadensis), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), pellitory (Parietoria pennsylvanica), mamaki (Pipturus albidus), and possibly hops (Humulus). Adult food: Red Admirals prefer sap flows on trees, fermenting fruit, and bird droppings; visiting flowers only when these are not available. Then they will nectar at common milkweed, red clover, aster, and alfalfa, among others. Habitat: Moist woods, yards, parks, marshes, seeps, moist fields. During migrations, the Red Admiral is found in almost any habitat from tundra to subtropics. Range: Guatemala north through Mexico and the United States to northern Canada; Hawaii, some Caribbean Islands, New Zealand, Europe, Northern Africa, Asia. Cannot survive coldest winters; most of North America must be recolonized each spring by southern migrants.

Golden Pearly Shells / Pyramid Of Incendia / Sceptre

Way back in the realm of time lost to knowledge there was a place of Gods, a place where temples were constructed from stones and engraved with images of the animal Gods who protected them and to whom they served… In the days before Noah, civilization created a place like no other and then it was mysteriously buried under 1000’s of years of earth never to see the light again until recent excavations have brought to light the secrets of the beginnings of Temple Worship. In the world of Archaeology this is huge, for the professors who study ancient religions, myth and first cultures this finding rocked their world. Why? Found to date to 9,000BC it belongs in a time of Hunter-Gatherers coming out of an Ice Age, the construction of the temples and T-shaped pillars gives no doubt to the fact men were creating communities based on Gods long before Sumer… Turning religious history and ancient civilization on it’s head is the mysterious Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, a place lost in time and in the time line we created… Gobekli Tepe – Wiki This Incendia fractal is representative of the shapes of the structures being uncovered at Gobekli Tepe and the concept of it being suspended in time.

Orion Nebula - A Fantasy Creation using a Hubble Telescope Image courtesy of N.A.S.A
by Vanessa BarklayThis is the first time I have incorporated a true image (not my own) into my artwork. A bit of an experiment I have downloaded an image of the Orion Nebula from the HubbleSite, these are not copyright and may be used by the public in any form as long as credit is given to N.A.S.A, which I have done… It is the Orion Nebula as I said with my own interpretations added to create a fantasy space image. Not as clever as making it myself I couldn’t resist this wonderful image of the Nebula as I was browsing them, there is much on here that doesn’t belong and if you compare it to the original you will notice the many changes but here (hopefully) seamlessly become part of reality… The Orion Nebula can be found in the constellation of Orion and you can see most of the stars that make up The Hunter…Orion is hunting the Bull, Taurus as he charges headforth into Orion as the constellations make their way around the night sky. I have a fractal image of Aldebaran, the red star that is the eye of Taurus too. Check it out here More than anything I wanted to show you the magnificent Orion Nebula, as caught by the Hubble Telescope, my editing is just a good excuse for me to put it on Red Bubble so you can all see it! FEATURED in A.D.A.W.G group… This is the original Hubble Telescope image of the Orion Nebula.. /

A simple Incendia fractal design representing Gaia, left plain on purpose, I am going to make something else from this with layers but I loved this stark coloured image too and saw in it the bare Earth, untouched by anything, just alive and blooming with nature’s colours and the universal geometrical patterns, surrounding the spherical spirit of Gaia…

Hanging out at my friends’ place on Sunday evening, we had a BBQ, barramundi mind you… I looked over and saw this gorgeous glow coming through the trees, perfect!

This is an Incendia fractal, I have this in another work called Helios – Colossus of Rhodes in different colours but I really liked this in brown and bronze tones too. / / / /

/ The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness, it combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. It represents a journey to our own centre and back out again. We can have a direct experience with a labyrinth and they are often used during meditation and prayer. Walking through a labyrinth awakens our senses and also acts as a rebirthing centre and seen as the Great Goddess’ womb and we are cleansed by the experience. You may notice my picture is encased within a uterus shape to represent this. They reveal the presence of a cosmic order and universal consciousness, this labyrinth I have drawn here and then expanded on in a polar pattern is called a 7-Fold Cretan Labyrinth and the oldest known labyrinth found around the world in ancient sites and sacred areas known to have been drawn at least 4000BC. This same labyrinth can be found on coins from Knossos, Crete 10BC. Crete is home to the most famous labyrinth myth, that of the Greek hero Theseus and his slaying of the Minotaur after he enters King Minos’ Labyrinth and with the help of Ariadne’s ball of wool finds his way out again, sails back to Greece and becomes and Athenian hero. Most labyrinths, particularly ancient and religious ones, a good one is at Chartres in France, contain non-verbal, geometric and numerical symbols or prompts that create the sacred geometry. These are meant to represent a cosmic order as they interface the material world with the realms of higher consciousness…. Labyrinth is a word of Pelasgian, which is pre-Greek, origin and oddly enough comes about from labrys, a word for the Archaic “double axe”, with inthos “place” (as in “Corinth”). The complex palace of Knossos in Crete is usually implicated, though the actual dancing-ground, depicted in patterns at Knossos, has not been found. Something was being shown to visitors as a labyrinth at Knossos in the 1st century AD. Greek mythology did not recall, however, that in Crete there was a Lady who presided over the Labyrinth. A tablet inscribed in Linear B found at Knossos records a gift “to all the gods honey; to the mistress of the labyrinth honey.” All the gods together receive as much honey as the Mistress of the Labyrinth alone. Much of this info can be accessed at Crystalinks You can also learn how to draw one at that site, which can be tricky at first but flow out when you master it and is great for the soul. / This is a graphite hand drawn Cretan labyrinth, put into Polarise then printed out and coloured in by hand with colouring pencil, my favourite art medium. / / This one is my original drawing without added colour, which is also available but not listed. / / Check out Dark Labyrinth

The glorious golden greens, blues and purple colours from Peacock plumage…. / The Peafowl Please View Larger for a better look! FEATURED in Colour Me A Rainbow – Purple Group Apophysis 7X 3D #115 Similar in golden colours, Wuthering Heights… / So annoyed, finally with some help I was able to get this up to 60MB but my computer is running very low on memory so couldn’t save the large file, if you are interested in purchasing this let me know so I can adjust it for you. Then for some unknown reason RB kept ‘ack’ing me while trying to upload this today as a smaller file…weird, so I could only put up this as an even smaller file (after all that!)

This is hard to photograph because anywhere I was trying to had light that reflected back off it! Trying to capture the colour in the opal was tricky too. / My grandma bought me this lovely Australian Black Opal Pendant in 1980 when I was 12, I have had it put away all this time (29 years) and don’t ever think I have worn it, the docket is with it too, a precious piece of jewelery I will always treasure, my Gran having left this world now, leaving me with this stunning large heirloom Black Opal Pendant, opal being my October birthstone.
