THE CITY - My impressions - $21.95 - available now!
For sale from the Redbubble store
The book arrived wrapped in plastic, and with a close fitting sleeve, so you know it’ll be able to be kept dust-free (an important consideration if you’re a slob like me.)
Black satin-finish cover with the title in gloss, beautifully presented, as we’ve grown to expect from the experts at Vanzella Design.
Quality is (to my inexperienced eyes) exceptional, the thick pages feel smooth and the prints look wonderful!
There are some stories in amongst the images, my favourite would have to be kandelaarsstraat by bellmusker. Bell’s writing always gives me pause.
Only a couple of paintings are included, but are both exceptional!
Snowy Day by J Anderson (which appears to have been cropped slightly, unfortunately,) and
The Future by Rebecca Roberts.
The rest of the images are photographs, with varying degrees of manipulation. My favourites are below, in no particular order. My address is Brisbane, but I rarely visit the central business district of my city, so it’s a treat to see these fabulous sights from all around the world.
This is an outstanding addition to the Redbubble community bookstand, and I’d have to say it is very much recommended buying.

Mel, thank you so much for your comments on my writing: “Kandelaarsstraat” is a piece very close to my heart, given that the city of Brussels kept my head above water for some time. I was able to check out “The City” at the bubble HQ a few weeks ago and was thrilled at the finished product – it looks amazing, and the variety and layout is perfect. I’m delighted to be part of it!
Mel Brackstone replied
Congratulations on being a part of it bell, your writing ALWAYS hits home hard….I love how you bring so much emotion out in me, just by reading your words.
