Image of the week and news update!!

I call this image 'Casanova Rooster'. This idea came to me while I was travelling around New Zealand with my lovely girlfriend while staying at a bed and breakfast up in Keri Keri. The lovely owners of the bed and breakfast had six chickens and a very proud rooster in their back garden.
I was watching how the rooster would strut its stuff in front of the six chickens and would go up to each of them which reminded me of the legend of Casanova. Casanova was known for getting any woman he desired but very vain.

Now for my news update...

Since I have been back in the land of the long white cloud (New Zealand), I have travelled all around the North and South islands showing my girlfriend as much as I can in the 3 weeks she was here, for which by the way is not enough time if you want to get in all the amazing and beautiful sights of my home country.

During our travels we saw and did so much great stuff that gave me some exciting ideas for images that I have been working on. So far I have completed 3 new images in 3 days which is a great start and 2 of them will be sent to London (along with some of my other artwork) for another exhibition that is happening in September.

Other then that I am working on the idea to launch a children's clothing range, developing new concepts for my next t-shirt range and looking for employment.

That's all for now but I'll have more updates soon.

Lastest update and Image of the Week!!!

Hi Everyone,

I know it's been quite a long time since my last posting and I apologize for the slackness.

In the last few weeks I did a 10 day Europe trip (mainly by road) going to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Budapest and Athens. From there I flew back to London to get ready for my second t-shirt launch and my first art exhibition.
Both Sharleen and I were not quite sure how the night would go but it was amazing and not only did we sell heaps of t-shirts but most of my artwork that was on sale!
We were so happy that we had a massive turnout and would like to thank all those who came along and showed their support and of course I can't forget the amazing team that helped us on the night as we couldn't of done it without you.

A couple of days after that I flew to Sydney to spend some time with my brother and see about some jobs while I was there before flying back to New Zealand.

I have been back in New Zealand for almost 2 weeks now and have had so many orders come in for t-shirts and commissioned artwork. Sharleen and I are very excited as most of our new range is almost soldout after only launching last month and that people like Madonna, Lily Allen and the Ting Tings are enjoying our t-shirts.

After today I am doing a road trip around the whole of New Zealand and hope to get some ideas for our next range but we pretty much know what concepts we are going with after the amazing response to this new range.

This weeks image of the week is an ad that I designed that will soon be in a student guide handbook in the UK.

That is all the news for now but you can still purchase yourself a Kalman Lee t-shirt from his new or old range at www.kalmanlee.co.uk but better be quick!!!

Cheers

Kalman Lee
