Fifth Feature!
I am so surprised. For having been public for such a short time, this may be on its way to becoming my most featured work. Why did I wait so long to put it up, I wonder. Am very happy that it seems to be so well received. Maybe I will try a phone case next.
Sharing PART of a poem
Sitting here, letting my day go by without me and a patient old puppy at my feet still needing her morning walk, my fingers on the keyboard addicted to searching, hit upon a poem I found a long time ago. It is too long to share in its entirety but, if you have a mind to see the whole thing, it is easy enough to find when you know what to look for. The title is The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,…
First Journal of 2012
A while back I was in the habit of journaling once a week about the features my work earned but, after a while, it came to seem like old news and and too much of a chore, so I quit doing that on a regular basis. However I am very happy about my latest posted work, CONTEMPLATIVE NUDE, which garnered not just three features in the first three days it was public, but two of them were permanent. Feel…
Well, there's one thing ...
about RB combining all my work into one big pot … it certainly inflated my view count. Just made a hundred and twenty THOUSAND views! Not that this is a super number or anything, but it is nice and round.
Strange thing about viewing ...
Yesterday I was suddenly inspired to get on board as far as this new iPhone case function is concerned … go with the flow, if you will. In a short time, I had put up twenty iPhone case designs.
Seventeen of these, the next morning, have an average count of four views. Three, on the other hand are surprisingly higher. Well, maybe not too surprising for two of them … both SMOKE and PHON…
Matted Print SOLD!
Many thanks to wonderful buyer. This image of the Flying Horse of Kansu dates back to when I saw the exhibition from China when it visited the Smithsonian in 1975. My pastel rendering is a personal favorite and, in large part, my inspiration for joining redbubble thirty years later.
UNfortunately, I seem to have forgotten how to include an image and a link to journal posts, as I have repeated th…
Counting Views On Another Site
When I previously journaled about view count angst, truthfully, I do not agonize over it; I just think it is an interesting statistic, and it gives me a feel for which of my pieces are more likely to do well. It was a pleasant surprise, for instance, to find that my digital abstracts are so well received and attract a lot more views than my photography. I enjoy creating my abstracts and really ap…
HOW Come?
Three days ago, I found this in my feed
“Fly With Me” was featured in ImageWriting 2/24
so I went to the group and did not see it. I went to my image, and there is no word from the group to this effect, only the same four comments that have been there since shortly after I put the picture up. Three days later, the comment and view count is still unchanged, and no sign or mention of a…
View Count Angst
I have been a member on Redbubble now for a few years and, for the longest time, I was obsessed over view count. This was in direct disregard of my favorite piece of advice from Max Ehrlmann’s Desiderata … never compare yourself with others, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
So what does view count mean to me, anyway … or to anybody else. Once up…
Just wondering
Why things like this should bother me, I have no idea, it just does not seem all that logical, and I like logic. When I look on the RB Community page and scroll down to Challenges to Enter, it bothers me to find challenges there promoted by groups to which membership is by invitation only. I would have thought that the members of these exclusive groups would already be aware of the challenges, an…
