	................................................................................................. the virtual calendar I designed the Virtual Calendar in 2002 as a backdrop to a series of paintings I did in 1999. I had become engrossed with 3D imagery and wanted to create an atmosphere that would complement the original character of the paintings rather than imitate them. Also I have to add that year was a year of sexual/sensual rediscovery and hence the somewhat erotic overtone... ................................................................................................. the techy site only lasted about 4 weeks on the web, and was basically no more than a pathetic attempt at imitating the DeviantArt wallpapers. Sorry... :( ................................................................................................. the crossstitch site did manage to survive for almost a year was largely designed as a tribute to my beloved sister Fatma Taze, one of whose many skills is embroidery. ................................................................................................. the multiple skin site was a dare and a bet with a colleague who insisted that no good could possibly come of the photoshop layer styles palette. Emre, were you right or were you wrong? I still don't know but I do know that this site had it's day in less than 2 months... :(
