Mr Baxter's Guide to Making RedBubble Stuff

Hello! My name is Mr Baxter, and I’m going to tell you a story.

As we’ve had a few new members of staff join RedBubble recently, not least myself, we thought it was about time to remind everyone exactly how all the marvellous products that adorn the office and so many of your homes are actually made.

However, they are mainly made in the Australian countryside, or Horsham, to be more specific, which is a very long drive. So to avoid the sort of fights that prolonged time on a bus normally brings, we decided to steal a plane.

It wasn’t very big, but it fitted us all neatly, and afforded remarkable views of Melbourne as we left. This thoroughly made up for the brutal hour in which we were forced to rise.

Above you can see the machine we use to print all the posters, it was most excited to meet Xavier, having heard a great deal about his habits, unkempt hair and dancing skills. Xavier returned the favour by immediately logging on and buying this.

Here are some RedBubble greeting cards winging their way through a printer. Of course our cards are hand finished so here is the lovely lovely lovely Jo, finishing a card, with her hands, after being taught by the excellent Rachel.

Next up were the framed prints. You can see Michael carefully selected the right one, before Nepal exhibits his trademark ‘Dust-a-tron’ technique, where he stares at the dust very hard until it GOES AWAY. And finally there are his hands sealing the frame and the print so no pesky dust can get back in when he isn’t looking.

Here’s an evocative shot of a sturdy Eucalyptus Regnans frame being wrapped with canvas. In about a week this will be significantly brightening a wall somewhere in the world.

This was a tense moment as Martin read out the latest Employee of the Month. I did not win, again. Martin did. Again.

And here’s Martin and Paul being shown the joys of the matted prints by Andrew. Although Paul doesn’t look too happy, perhaps the print has not been cut right, perhaps it is Andrew’s tie, we’ll never know.

No school expedition would ever be complete without a group photo, so here it is, and for those who like to put faces to names: (clockwise from top left) Geoff, Martin, Paul C, Paul P, Troy, Xavier, and the lovely Jo.

Of course that isn’t the whole team, no, Pete was guarding the plane, Paul V couldn’t find any clothes, Russ was saving the world somewhere else, Jason was making sure Sacramento was behaving itself, Rhana was on a hill in Tasmania and Nat and Ed were both asleep. In different parts of London. 10,496 miles away from the event.

And of course, I was behind the lens. With a little bit of help from Jo.

I trust that this has been informative. Please keep an eye on me for more of the same.

Regards,

Mr Baxter – Chief Detective Inspector of Newsworthy Journal Posts

    Yes, so far behind the scenes they are actually in America. We didn’t have enough fuel for that. But we’re thinking about an alternative.

  • RedBubble replied

    Yes, and that’s ok, we have exactly the same gripes. And a whole load more. And then even more. And then we pass out from sheer exhaustion. Because we’re just a few ordinary people. But we’ll get there. And each day is a step closer. How I wish for more arms.

    Good grief!

    Not meaning to spoil the syrupy atmosphere and tour of the print shop. I couldn’t help noticing some staff (formerly part of the masses) who I now presume are on the red bubble pay roll (?) but continue to have and promote their own galleries. In fact RB is doing that for them according to this. Is this not a conflict of interest? Or is just a part of the salary package
    ;)

    Tom, and here was me thinking that was a caricature. :O)

    Hello, yes, maybe you haven’t entered your bank details yet? Or perhaps the images are not a big enough resolution to be sold?

    Thanks for an interesting post. It is always good to know a bit about the team behind this great operation.

    Anything that creates employment in regional areas is a good thing, and what a fun business with which to be involved (if you are into art and photography :-)

    I am 2weeks new at RB and am having the time of my life! Never saw such talent, tutorials, groups, support help, artists help, caring people anywhere! Just one question: IF ALL PRINTS ARE INSERTED IN AN 16X20 MATTE AND WE ARE UNABLE TO JUST GET PRINTS IN THEIR REGULAR SIZES (8X10, 11X14, 16X20, ETC) WITHOUT THE MATTES BECAUSE THE CLIENTS WANT TO BUY THEIR OWN MATTES TO FIT THEIR DESIGNATED FRAMES (taking a breath!!! lol:) BECAUSE NOT EVERY ONE WANTS A LITTLE 8X10 IN AN ENORMOUS 16X20 MATTE…......HOW CAN WE MAKE THE CLIENT HAPPY WITH THAT KIND OF SYSTEM?

    In actuality…aren’t they paying highly for something they don’t want because it’s not available? This is the ONLY thing about RB that troubles me. Otherwise…I’ve never been so satisfied with a photosite!!

    Thanks so much for considering my question.
