RedBubble


A view inside The Bubble

There was a small peek at some of the things that go on inside the bubble the other day, and I thought it might be nice to give a broader view of what RB Central really looks like.

This is a panorama composed from 6 individual images showing the heart of operations (well, other than the pub that is). Things have changed a little since this was taken (24th August), so with a little more re-decoration it may be worth posting an updated view.

Some of you will notice some fresh bright coloured shirts attached to the wall awaiting a photo shoot, and also covering up the door through to where we keep the zoo.

    Thanks for sharing, it’s a bit like one of those puzzle images, the more you look the more little things jump out at you. Whats the long line of writing above the prints to the left of the great wall of T’s ?

    Looks like a cool studio – lovely and relaxed just the way I like it.
    I love the guy in the bottom left hand corner who doesn’t think he’s in the shot hence the feet on table :)

    Empty chair on the right is Peter’s, and I am in front of the printer (out of frame – but I am sure the chair was empty). Paul’s studio is just down the road. Going from left to right the people you see are: Grant, Xavier, Kath, Tom (feet on chair), Justin, Ed (in front of T Shirt wall) and Bridget. And as I said – founders all out to lunch!

    oops and Dave has his back to the camera (in the red T!). I bet and go buy some humble pie to share around the office tomorrow.

    What is the screen mounted on the wall used for?

  • Jeff  Burns

    This is very cool. Very cool view of the room!

  • Pilgrim

    Screen on the wall tracks system response times (ie how quickly pages load for everybody using the site). This alerts us (ie Dave!) to problems – although he runs his own system. It also means we can see how the site is performing – because quick is better!

    This is way cool, I feel like I’m peeking under the bonnet. Then again, I know where you guys are so I might come and peek through the window…

    Nice spotting sjem – I noticed them too and wanna know when we get white print on coloured tshirts as well?
    It’s also good to see the blue tshirts up there because I thought they were a lighter blue than that.

    Oh guys that’s an awesome place! It also has that feeling of “ordered disorder”, you know, the fluff of art! Well, that’s where the magic grows. Keep up the good work! For the Red Bubble Elves, for glory!

    I’m not sure if I would want to go and say hi… I would feel compelled to stay and probably end in bankruptcy after seeing the printers and ordering stuff! XD

  • Joyce Dickens, IPA

    Joyce Dickens,...

    Being a “newbee”; this makes me feel more at home…..seeing who you all are…....Nice shot of the inner bubble…...........later, Joyce
