A NEW THEME
Hello Friend,
For a while now I have been working on the theory that not many people are prepared to wade their way through over twenty pages of images, so I have been moving pictures to page one so they will be noticed.
IT WORKS!!!
Firstly, I had a floral theme, followed by a cats theme and now I have just arranged the first page into a collection of architectural paintings … enjo…
A PERSONAL MILESTONE
My viewings for my art portfolio have finally passed the 100,000 mark today (phew – I thought it would never happen). I am aware that this announcement of mine will enhance my reputation as “an attention-seeker” but hey, who cares :) I joined Redbubble so people would look at my pictures.
I am not pretending I am popular by any means. Many artists here have twice, three times, four times …
A CURE FOR BOREDOM?
Working on my theory that people get bored looking at the same old paintings day in and day out, I have temporarily converted page one of my portfolio into a thematic floral gallery.
When people start referring to me as, “that old guy who paints weird flowers” ... I will convert it to cats and then they will say, “No he doesn’t – he draws weird cats” :)
EMAIL HELP NEEDED
I tried to send someone some photos via email today and after ten attempts I had ten returned messages. I then changed the case of the initial letter of his email address and he received them immediately.
However, I did a further test by sending myself two emails, one altered and one unaltered, and they both went through successfully. Can anyone throw any light on this matter please?

MY MEETING WITH A REDBUBBLE ARTIST
I have to tell you of an interesting morning I spent with fellow Redbubbler Jan Szymczuk at Stannington Nurseries tea rooms, near Morpeth, Northumberland, England.
We met at the new tea rooms, which are a fine example of Swedish pine log cabin and decorated within with art from local artists.
Jan is a friendly person whom I found very easy to talk with. Because of the full life he has …
ANITA'S CATS
A favourite artist of most of us is Anita (anitainverarity).
I have always been fascinated by the little cats that peep out at us from her drawings.
I couldn’t resist gathering some together to see what they look like in a gang:

I didn’t have time to do a neater collection … or maybe should that read Anita Collec…
ARE FEATURES ESSENTIAL TO BEING AN ARTIST ON REDBUBBLE
In September, I tried to get an average of one Feature per day. I didn’t quite make it, but still managed 28, which was satisfying for me personally. This was a result of making my presence known :)
Yes, before you all start commenting, I know many of you get twice and three times that amount – you’ve told me :)
Last month I had a few things go wrong, such as losing my Windows XP when…
.... AND ANOTHER PORTRAIT ....
MIchael Scholl is the latest artist to immortalise me :)

YET ANOTHER PORTRAIT OF ME
AngelArtiste has done a portrait of me, working entirely from memory:

I WILL BE ABSENT FOR SOME TIME
As a result of old age or a virus (repair man isn’t sure which), my hard drive has been damaged. The repair man said he couldn’t save anything and has formatted the drive. He may need to install a new drive. I am devastated as I have lost so much work that can not be replaced. Photos of local events that won’t be repeated. Family photos.
So this doesn’t happen to you, please don’t leave…
