The Long Ta Ta

Posted 18 days ago

I am leaving Red Bubble, as I have found it to be a source of heartbreak, backstabbing and intrigue far more than a community of friendly people or a source of inspiration.

It is taking me a very long time to do so, however, as I am doing things, such as going through my favorites list and tweeting them to my friends and family, before going.

Part of what might take me a while is figuring out wh…

The artistry of fine English Cashmere

Posted over 1 year ago
I find my inspiration where I find it, as I believe most artist do. It can be in a sight, a site, a taste, a texture, a whispered promise, a booming note, or ….

Admittedly, mostly for my own entertainment, I have decided to begin a series of journal entries based on my window shopping experiences, which are often a great source of inspiration, as I am inundated with color, style, promise of …

A wee bit, just wrote

Posted over 1 year ago

It’s not enough to even post as a rough draft, so I am posting it here, instead of in writing. I just wrote this (11-07-2010) rather quickly, and inspired by reading that Claire Danes (who seems to have gotten better looking, again!) is the daughter of a painter and a photographer.

Mind you, it is not about her, but, inspired by her photo and this wee bit of knowledge of her. That, and, jus…

I just read the best story today

Posted over 1 year ago

It was a brilliantly written piece by Lightsmith Full of a supreme elegance, not of characters, but of tailoring words to suit the mind’s eyes, and show the reader, by subtle design, what is glaringly obvious by the end of the short work of near magic.

It is the sort of story that when it is read, it inspires nostalgia for one’s youth, for a time before one even existed, for what one…

Information for the inquisitive

Posted over 1 year ago

Whilst looking for someplace new to network, I came across a site called Found Myself, and whilst attempting to contribute there, I was informed of another site that some people might find very useful.

These might be great ways to further your online selling, or simply to get your name out there for networking. So, please take a look, if you would like to sell your work as digital images, and, pl…

What I have come to realize

Posted over 1 year ago

.. having gone through all those pieces, to see if there were any that would be allowed to stay, if the 20 favorites or Else rumor is true, is that I am just absolutely wasting my time on Red Bubble.

I can’t even get people to LOOK at my artwork, much less to like it. Or, to read what I write to see if they like the way I do it.

Time to start saving pieces and moving them off the site, then…

20 Favorites or Else?

Posted over 1 year ago
I’m more than a little upset, about the rumor going around, which says that Red Bubble is starting to remove artwork pieces which have been favorited less than 20 times.

Hopefully, this is untrue; because, when I joined this site, I specifically remember reading something about how it is not a popularity contest, and that such things as views, favorites, etc. are not counted against you as …

Changing profile, opinion, and watchlist

Posted almost 2 years ago
This is the old profile, which I am mostly saving because of the link to linaj’s island photo “of me” :

This is one of my blogs. I move artwork of mine off of Red Bubble and on to it, at times; sometimes I just upload it straight to there. So, you may want to take a peek.

This is by Linja

I AM A WRITER!

Would love comments, critiques, editing, or anything fairly pleasant by way of…

Alone again, naturally

Posted almost 2 years ago
For some reason, probably thanks to demonically possessed software, around the time I asked Simon (not Duckworth) the Englishman a question that I very much did not like the answer to, this song has been cropping up on LastFm far too often.It’s a beautiful song, and I love this man’s voice, but, oh my goodness the pain. It doesn’t help people who would prefer not to cry, I can t…
