Redbubble Survey - Invasive and Not Upfront

Excrement image!

Posted 3 months ago

Funny thing happens sometimes when trying to type the word ‘Excellent!’ into the comments window of other people’s photos.

My fingers hit the wrong keys and I constantly find I have tapped something out that looks extremely close to ‘Excrement’!

So if, perchance, it gets through undetected by me one day, you now know the background … and I think your ‘sh#…

A reflection (or two) on entering my 5th year with redbubble

Posted 4 months ago

Entering my 5th year as a Redbubble member, I have been reflecting on the nature and meaning of the (now more readily perceptible) shifts in my usage patterns of redbubble over that time. And also my feelings about the underlying experience itself.

Take the 's' out of 'scaring'

Posted 6 months ago

Time to take the ‘s’ out of ‘scaring’.

My thought for the day … would make a good t-shirt maybe.


Redbubble's hidden 'super galleries' - a neglected goldmine!

Posted 7 months ago

YOUR SUGGESTIONS are being sought (see end paragraphs of this journal). But first …

As we avid bubblers visit our favorite website each day (redbubble of course) there is always at least that one photograph or artwork that we feel absolutely obligated to – immediately upon viewing – add to our ‘favorites’ list.

I am speaking of those images that instantly look stunni…
