Yeah!
Today as Isa & Doreen dubbed it is Continental Tuesday! Every layout that was featured on the RedBubble Homepage is themed around each continent and its special and unique countries. Each continent was featured for about 3hrs so that each continent got its fair share of feature!
I dunno how the idea came to me about this continental theme, i think its cos i have caught the travel bug! But i have put together these layouts and then RED decided to choose them and feature them today! I was over the moon when i heard and all the pics look stunning up on the Home Page!
Also when doing these layouts i found out so much about the world… like how beautiful the Ukraine countryside is and that the poles have far too many penguins! :) i also found out how proud people are about the countires and their heritage! The world certainly is a beautiful place! Please do look through these artists portfolios as they really are talented!
If you missed them here they are:
The Poles
South America
Oceania
Africa baby! (my home)
Central America
North America
Europe
Asia
Congratulations to all these artists!
Merry Christmas and i hope the featured artists like my Christmas prezzie to them! :)

Your Continental Layouts was truly an exceptional series. The best home page layouts that I’ve seen, despite the fact that normally I like to see drawings, paintings, or digital works, much more than photography. You deserve an award for this series, Fiona. And if you were in my Solo Exhibition group, you’d certainly get one. OUTSTANDING concept, research, and layouts.

Well the whole scene behind the scenes with the layouts is a labor of love for those of you who frequently participate. That’s obvious. And I understand it, as my magazine is a similar labor of love, promoting other’s work, too. I can imagine all the images you must have studied, before landing on these specific collections. It felt like I was looking through National Geographic. So enjoyable and impressive, knowing what had to have gone into the layouts. And then for R. to feature them back to back – that was a stroke of genius, too.
Have a great New Year, Fiona!
Fiona Christensen:
It defiantly is a labor of love ! I can imagine with a whole magazine! But art is our love and it will always be! Thank you Frannie! Its great to promote people, i know how it feels so it must feel wonderful for them!
Have a great New Years Frannie and may 2010 bring you all the best! :) x
