I got to wear wings today
I just got back from a photshoot with one of the artists from my work. We had suggested to him that he use more ‘normal’ looking models and somehow Sharon and I volunteered to be photographed for his work in a spur of the moment kind of way- and he took us up on it.
He was a great guy, very professional and VERY creative. I’m just dying to see the finished product. He had this massive set of wings made from peacock feathers- SO impressive looking. I had wing-lust. We got a few different sets of things. A predator/prey type set, a draping across furniture set, a bundled into a ball on the floor set and an embracing set. It’s been a long time since I was in front of the camera- I’d forgotten how much fun it is. Gotta love being the centre of attention for a couple of hours and getting to play a role and be a character. The drama student in me has had a great morning.
There was only one down side- I got home and couldn’t look through all the shots that had been taken. I knew there was a reason I prefered taking the shots to being in them. I’ll just have to exercize some patience!
DennisK
sounds like fun.
would love to see how they turned out.
Jo O'Brien
So would I. I’m so excited you have no idea. I think when you take photos of people you have an instictive idea of what you look like in the lense. I had very good vibes about how it was all looking and just can’t wait to see them all finished and on sale in our galleries.

Yeah put them up so we can see them. You sound like your job is more fun than mine. I drive a forklift around a big boring warehouse all day. Come over and browse my gallery later if your not busy I’m really proud of it. Yours is looking great.
Jo O'Brien
Gee, thanks Alan. I manage an art gallery recruiting new artists and work as a design consultant doing creative picture framing. It’s so great to have a job that is all about finding Melbourne’s hidden talent and then displaying it and helping artists establish their careers.
Your t-shits are great- love your big bot
I really hope I can get some digital copies of the shots from this morning so that I can put them up and have a little ‘show and tell’. I’ll keep you posted on that one.
DennisK
Hey Jo, the Challenge has really taken off since you posted yours. Thanks heaps hey!
It’s great to see everyone getting into it and having fun!
Andrew Bosman
Hey Jo, you make sure you share won’t you cause I’d love to see them too!!
Jo O'Brien
For sure Andrew. As soon as I can get my hot little hands on some files I will post them. Alternatively I’ll see if I can get the photographer to make his own RedBubble profile so that I can link to him and he can get the credit for his work.
Jo O'Brien
Dennis- glad it’s taking off. It’s such a great idea.
DennisK
hey Jo, my daughter has started her own redbubble, if you get a chance could you have a look and comment for her, give her a buzz.
thanks
Nicole

DennisK
She is reading it now, thanks Jo

Jo O'Brien
By the way- I am CONVINCED that you have a twin or something that you take shifts with on here. I don’t think I can remember the last time I logged on and you weren’t already on here commenting away.
DennisK
Hehehe, i’m on holidays from work so got a little bit of time on here. mostly in the afternoon and evenings.
Yeah the challenge has brought alot of people out of thsir boxe’s.
It’s strange how you actually think of a person by their RB portrait against their post.
I hope you know what i mean. hard to write stuff down sometimes.
your new one really suits you. Full of life.
Jo O'Brien
Thanks. Now I can face the RedBubble world as a face, rather than an ass…
Oh I’m just so funny- who lets me out at night?
DennisK
