Bubblemail sometimes starts the thought process!!
Good morning to all beautiful bubblers!!
Yesterday I had an interesting Bubblemail from one of our bubble favorites Danny
who kindly made me aware of an issue perhaps best described by the term popularity.
Now before you go thinking the worst, the mail was very jovial and replied to in kind but it sparked a little thought process which is always a good thing!!
So, I would like to give back a little to the Red Bubble community by adding a link to a different member on each of my works.
Please see the picture below to see what this will look like.
Now, if you have any objections to this or don’t like the image I’ve put your link on please do not hesitate to mail me and let me know.
...and please do not be disheartened if your link is not on an image, I’ll get around to it eventually. I’m only guessing but it appears that there is over 10,000 members here at Red Bubble so I’ve only got to upload 9,700 more works to fit you all in!! LOL!
Peace, happiness and love to all!
Deborah Bowness
What a lovely idea, that is so sweet of you! It gives us a chance to see Bubblers work that otherwise we might not get to see.

This is great Paul. There’s so much good stuff I must miss on a daily basis, it’s always nice for others to point them out to you
Rhana Griffin
Paul, You are like soooo totally HAWT right now! Fantastic idea! I have been trying to do a little of the same with my Totally Wicked Awards
You are a good soul Paul…

Hermosa Lee Kwan

(im not a very talkative person hehehe)
Danny
You big Fred Bear
Only a man with a true appreciation of guitars could think of this.
Great idea,
I’m glad you saw the funny side of it – as it was intended.
I think’ll do this too.
Julie Langford
Well done Paul, and very kind of you indeed Sir!!!. Now, seeing that you have 10000 to get around, are you really sure you dont need to be adding 100 links to each peice lol
Jessica Tremp
what a kind hearted person you are, lovely idea, look forward to discovering some new artworks this way
Daniela Weil
This is a genial “bubbles networking” idea!!
Deborah Parkin
what a wonderful positive thought to go to bed too :)

midzing
brilliant idea!!
JoTaylor
another brilliant idea!!
Dan Cahill
Excellent idea. You are very thoughtful. I will have to try that myself.
Louise Cooke
you’re a generous soul..good on ya!
Cathie Tranent
Wonderful idea! I think I might do that as well …
Marion Cullen
That’s called playing it forward in a big way. Even the smallest gestures have a wonderful way of snowballing. Very nice idea.
Brett Foster
With blokes like you in the team Paul how can we go wrong. Good on you mate.
Paul Louis Vil...
Glad everyone (so far) likes the idea! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :D
ed wong
you are too kind sir! kudos & karma -ed
HelenSewell

Charles Dobbs ...

chanel
Brilliant thinking!
You are a generous soul, on ya Paul!
shanghaiwu
sounds great
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks so much you guys!! :D
Melissa Vowell
This is a great Idea. I’ve startedsomething somewhat similar! In the forums and as Journal entries, just as of last week, i’m doing a “Credit Where Credit’s Due” Piece to feature artists I find on here who im my opinion are not getting the Credit they deserve!
Melissa Vowell
I thought I should link you to it as this is a good opportunity!
Paul Louis Vil...
Good on ya Melissa! :D
Mel Brackstone
Nice matching of eyes and monochrome, mate!!! Thanks so much :) A corker of an idea!!
Susan Zohn
I like it Paul. Great idea you have here.
Helene Kippert
Well done Paul – and great idea! :o)
kseriphyn
Excellent idead Paul. Very innovative and building of the community sense.
Heather Davies
What a brilliant idea Paul, such a positive lovely thing to do!! :D
Christine Wilson
wow ! I would never have thought of that what a really nice idea well done
HaRaKiRi
Great idea… too many amazing pieces of art because lost amongst the mass amount of uploads. Perhaps this is something everyone should start doing.
hinting
Can RB add an dialogue box in the upload page to let you choose the artist/artwork/clothing that you highlight? That will be neat? Paul, may be you can suggest it at the forum maybe?
Marie Magnusson
spread the love, that’s a great idea Paul
jerry alcantara
its really cool idea Paul!
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks for all the good vibes bubblers!! :D
Paul Finnegan
great idea Paul
Melinda Kerr
Sadly PLV this journal entry made me do 2 things. 1. Go straight to your folio and 2. go through all your shots to see if I was linked. Which I’m not. Which proves 2 more things 1. I am shallow and egotistical 2. I’m not very popular (takes cricket bat and ball, slumps and wallows in self pity)...
Emma Anderson
That’s a great idea Paul. Although I will say that the popularity as you put it is well deserved by those we regularly see on the hotspot. I feel no envy towards any of the regulars, I merely admire their work and strive to make mine better! It was one of your photos that inspired me to read the manual for my camera!!
Martin Derksema
Great idea, Paul. And don’t feel any time pressure now. 9700 works, and, lets say, one work every three days, makes 29.100 days, which is 79,73 years. Just take it easy and enjoy your art.
PhotogeniquE IPA
that is such a good idea! reminds me of the scene with Donkey in Shrek-1…...
“pick me…....pick me…....pick me….....” (huge grin)

What a magnificent gesture, Paul, can you give us an idea how to do it please?
Jodi Webb
Sheer genius PLV. Thank you for being so generous and giving.
Paul Louis Vil...
Hey you guys are the “bestest” in the whole wide world!! :D
Lou Green
“there’s a lorra lorra love in this room!”
Go paul ! Your idea rocks
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks heaps Lou! :D
Melinda Kerr
I think you’re an evil bastard ;)
Paul Louis Vil...
LOL!! Stop it Mel, you may force me to bare my horns!!!
...and I don’t like to bare much at all!! hehehe!!
Vanessa V. Med...
That’s a wonderful gesture! :)
Shanina Conway
Hey Paul, fantastic idea…masterstroke! Mind if I steal it;)
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks Vanessa and Shanina! Go ahead and steal!! LOL!!
Paul Tupman
This is a wonderful idea.. I’ve seen more and more bublers recently doing things like this.. giving links to other bublers or recomendations.. With so much talent here, it’s so easy to miss out on a good thing!

Thanks so much for the info, Paul, (and Craig) Paul, you now star on my photo Dawnin
Melinda Kerr
Yeah it’s a good idea. Damn you. Still sulking by the way PLV.
Paul Louis Vil...
Good on ya guys!! :D
Paul Louis Vil...
Oh Mel, tell me how I can stop your sulks! LOL!
A big hug? A keg of the finest ale? Alink ? hehehe!!
bodymechanic
well thought out PLV!!!
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks mate! :D
Melinda Kerr
Oh Paul you linked to me? Gosh I didn’t expect that. I hope you didn’t think you had to do that. I mean I hope you didn’t take my ‘your an evil bastard’ to heart. Or my ‘I’m gunna bring you down’ threatening bubblemails as serious? Or that tick tocking device I just put underneath your car as the sign of a disgruntled bubbler?...Paul?? Paul??? Oh no!!!!! PLV don’t turn on the ignition!!!!!!! Auggghhh!!!!!!
Melinda Kerr
He was a nice guy that PLV (Funny taste in art though…)
Paul Louis Vil...
LOL!
You crack me up big time! :D
hahehaheha!!
Now about that beer…
Adriana Glackin
Very nice gesture Paul : )
Kerry McFarland
Wow, what a great idea! You are so creative, and thanks for sharing your well deserved popularity. You are truly talented.
Heather Rivet...
great idea…well though out
Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks everyone and thanks too for the mails!! :D
Michelle422
I have just sat down second in the queue behind photogenique. I’ve brought my sway and water. I can wait!
Michelle422
Oh dear, that should be “swag”. Think I may also need potato crisps and some red wine.
Jenny Haskey
Great idea, I’m always so amazed by tha amazing pics I stumble across that have gone unnoticed – by fab gestures like this my eyes are going to be opened to a whole new collection of amazingly talented artists! Good on ya Paul what a star you are!!!!
Paul Louis Vil...
LOL!! Love your comments!! Thanks! :D
hinting
What will be great is if we form conversation and dialogues by comparing the main photo and the linked photo. This is going to be so intellectural!!!!
Paul Louis Vil...
Now that’s forward thinking, nice one hinting! :D
owlspook
Thank you so much Paul .. a totally wonderful thing you are doing … an RB friend told me about this and gave me your link … just had to stop by and thank you (big smile)
Paul Louis Vil...
Hey owlspook! That’s very kind of you!! Thanks!! :D
