Photos a separate category

Posted over 2 years ago

I think that, after some time poking my head around here, that photos should really be in their own category in the user pages. I mean, it makes sense to me.

Just normal photography, nothing that has been touched by photoshop or manipulated. Natural photography (the stuff I do I suppose).


Brilliant story about art and corporatism

Posted over 2 years ago

I found this while digging through my rss feeds. Great story, I love what the people at the website do.

From 365 Tomorrows- ‘The last art on earth’

”...and continued towards Heartville, one of a few scattered “unincorporated towns” of independent eateries and artist studios where WMG couldn’t do business. Supposedly. She thought o…

Open-Source

Posted over 2 years ago

Consider all of my written work open-source.

Do whatever you want with it.

Did I leave a story on a cliff-hanger? Go ahead and finish it.

Enjoy a character? Go ahead and develop them.

Like the setting/storyline? Go ahead and expand it.

Creativity to the max. I don’t want anything that will inhibit the creative flows people!

Oh, what’s that computer? You can’t find the file?

You…. you say that the file is corrupted?

Both the original photoshop and the png?

..... I hate you computer!


A little behind the 8-ball

Posted over 2 years ago

Ack. I’ve not been very productive recently.

I’ve got a few pieces of art in the mill, plus a piece of writing or two. Unfortunately that has taken a back-seat in the last few days as I am currently trying to piece my shit together and get some direction and organisation (read: I’m not a very motivated person on the best of days, but that’s a-changin’!).

So anyways, hopefully by the end o…

Hey RedBubble folks! I got an idea/suggestion!

Posted over 2 years ago

Idea: News feed (RSS or whatever) of the major art and design events happening around the world.

You should be able to sort by location (Sydney, New York), date (next week, next month, or during a certain semester, year, month) or subject (web design, photography, etc.).

Also, I think it would be cool if there was an area or address to send ideas and suggestions into, eh?

And you can e…

My first sale

Posted over 2 years ago

Huh. Never saw that coming. Barely a week or so here, and I’ve got a sale. T-shirt too. Cool! Cheers to the buyer.

Funny though, it’s one of the T-shirt designs I don’t like a great deal, but I know it’s popular with people here.

Well, here’s to my first one!


New Theme: Digital Resistance

Posted over 2 years ago

I’m thinking of having an ongoing theme for a few T-shirts. Centered around ‘Digital Resistance’ or something like that. Along the lines of my Digital life T-shirt.

Thoughts?


Graphic Arts Magazines

Posted over 2 years ago

Anyone know of any good Australian graphic arts magazines?

Preferably one centered around contemporary art, typography and photoshop / illustrator.

I’ve seen a few good ones at Borders, but there doesn’t seem to be many good Aussie ones.

I like the looks of ‘Desktop Magazine’.

Not happy RedBubble

Posted over 2 years ago

I’ve sold 4 or 5 pieces of work, and I have not seen a dollar. I have also given the correct details for my banking.

What’s up? I’ve waited 3 months now.
