This Week ...
This week we were impressed by some wonderful artwork from new bubblers:

And we enjoyed works from writers who have recently joined the RedBubble community:
The Body and Soul exhibition opened this week at Edgewater Gallery in Adelaide, featuring bubblers Naomi and Paul Clarke, Dianne Davies, Paul Tait and Mandi Whitten

Edgewater Gallery
- Gareth Colliton shared his thoughts on portraiture
- MagpieMagic taught us about using a transparent background when designing t-shirts
- Simone Byrne shared a tutorial on using levels and curves in PhotoShop
Miron Abramovici supported a wonderful cause by volunteering to photograph some of the events at the Special Olympics NJ Fall Sports Festival.

- Patrick Latter gave us an insight into how he creates his images
- Karen Betts reflected on what a year on RedBubble has taught her
- The Devon and Cornwall group are planning a Great SWUK Get Together in March 2010
Mary Ann Reilly’s images will be published in the March 2010 issue of Somerset Digital Art
Wendy Slee was awarded two first place spots in the Busselton Through My Lens Photo Competition
This week we’d like to say a special thank you to Damien Mason. Damien is a wonderful supporter of illustrators and t-shirt designers on RedBubble, offering help, advice and feedback and he puts a great amount of energy and effort into hosting the (deep breath) International Superheroes of Drawing, Ilustration and World Domination group. When he’s not doing all these things, Damien can usually be found over in the main forums contributing to debates and discussions. We’d like to thank Damien for his enthusiastic contribution to making the RedBubble community the unique place it is.
Last but not least, Mr Baxter awarded this week’s Buyer’s Booth prize to a gorgeous image featuring our 2010 calendars. If you’d like to be in the running to win a $30 RB Voucher each week, you just need to add a creative pic of your RedBubble purchases to the Buyer’s Booth.

Congratulations to all the artists above for their achievements this week. If you’d like to share your own creative news and highlights, please feel free to post below.

Wow, that gallery looks really cool; congratulations to the featured Bubblers!
This week I was featured on a site called Soulpancake. Can read about that here
That website was actually created by the actor who played idiotic Dwight Schrute in the American version of the television comedy “The Office”. His site pretty cool; worth checking out.
Kim McClain
Welcome and congrats!

Another excellent wrap Nat, welcome to all the fabulous newbies and welcome back Simone Byrne. It’s good to see Damien Mason getting well deserved recognition too.
My personal highlight of the week was my first ever RedBubble feature, for a collaborative work using the images of Lorenzo Castello and titled Lorenzo’s Oils thanks to whoever chooses these features, it gave me a big grin :-)))

Whoohooo, Karin, a TATOO? Oh wow! How fun! Congrats.
Congrats also to Mui-Ling Teh and to Matt. Matt, fabulous verse. I loved it.
RB Community, Nat, in fact, gave me a shout out, actually an official “Thank you” last week for the energy put into Solo Exhibition and the magazine Inside Solo, especially. I was floored and say back, you’re welcome and thank you!
I got my first feature on the home page Saturday with Rain Dance. I’ve been only uploading art for 5 months (although with RB for close to 2 years). So it was really special!!
Inside Solo magazine is always a highlight of my week. The contributing writers and I want to thank everyone who downloads and enjoys this magazine. You do not have to be a member of Solo Exhibition to download, read, and enjoy the feature articles. 32 pages of Art and Art News this week. Get your copy! ;)
