Aura Painting in Whitby at Tomorrow's Ghost Festival April 2019

Finally, it is time to upload updates on my blog about the wonderful Tomorrow’s Ghost Festival April event. First of all I would like to express my thanks to the organiser Absinthe Promotions for the kindness of letting me trade for one day only (since I wanted to attend the events of the second day of the festival!!!!)  

As in previous years, it was simply a pleasure to be part of the whole event, so wonderfully organised and well attended. And, as usually, it was a pleasure to do aura sketched and sell prints. For the very first time this year I also took with me to exhibit some original pieces and this was a very great way to show the finish piece for commission, instead of just sketches.

Finally, my thanks to my wonderful new assistant Daniela who, not only is one of the first people to ever encourage me to start trading, but came to help with the sale on the day!

Aura Painting at Tomorrow's Ghosts Festival, October 2018

At the end of October 2018 I went to do aura painting at Dark Days Alternative Market part of Tomorrow's Ghosts Festival (26 to 28th Oct 2018 organised by Absinthe Promotions, in Whitby.

This time the venue for the festival and our market was the wonderful Whitby Pavilion and one of my favourite bands of all time, Paradise Lost was also present as one of the two festival headliners. I have been following this Yorkshire band for most of my music life and listening to Doom Metal currently is and has always been the biggest inspiration for my painting. For this reason, just to be part of the same festival I can say it was simply a dream came true!!! Even more I managed to get both set list and drumstick (as well as a band tee) so, it was overall one of the best festival ever!!

In preparation for the event I retouched a lot of prints in acrylics and I am glad I did so I could offer even more choice to customers. On the two days of trading I did lot of aura portraits of people's energies and the sale went well, so overall it was a positive experience, despite the super cold seaside weather. In particular, many friends came to the rescue, helping me with the selling of prints whilst I was busy paintings, and they even kept me well fed with a never-ending stream of cakes from local bakeries (I ate them all!!). Their kindness touched me deeply, made the event even better and for this I would never be able to express my gratitude enough.

With many many thanks to Absinthe Promotions for allowing me to be part of all of this.  I am already looking forward to trade at their forthcoming events in 2019!!

Aura painting at Dark Days Alternative Market April 2018

With many apologies for not uploading anything in my blog for such a long time (too many things and events!!!), I kick off with photos of my participation in the wonderful Dark Days Alternative Market  organised by Absinthe Promotions in Whitby in April 2018.

It was such a wonderful experience being part of this event and I surely enjoyed doing aura painting portraits of so many people there and meeting other fellow traders!

One, two, three...go!

 Whibty, the Gothiest town on earth!

 Among the traders, I would like to say thanks to he wonderful Ray Bokor, full time Spiritual Medium (and a very friendly one!) who helped me with the logistic and kept me company on the day.

With many thanks again to the wonderful organiser for allowing me to participate!
