RedBubble


We Stand

Just a little over a year ago we put together a statement of what RedBubble is about.

We want to repost this not because we are too lazy to write a real journal entry but because it is still true and still important.

The last year has seen a global financial crisis, renewed threat of a boiling planet, innumerable international crises and no doubt you have faced many personal challenges. But throughout it all we can draw strength from our individual and collective creativity.

When we take that camera, pen, paintbrush or mouse (and some things stranger as well) and start to give expression to the deeper things in ourselves we reach to a higher plane of being. When we recognize in another’s art something new or something of ourselves we connect at a profound level – not only with them but with a common humanity.

At RedBubble we will make mistakes and some things will go wrong beyond our control but we hope the shared vision will keep us generally going in the right direction.

So yes:

We (still) stand:

• For artists
• For the work they create
• For the audiences they inspire
• For the buyers they move.

We honour them, their work and their passions.

The creative endeavour should be shared joyously with others.

All should feel free to join in the show.

Peter, Paul and Pilgrim and all the team at RedBubble.

    Thanks for everything. RB has been almost literally a life saver for me this past 15 months. Well, at the very least a sanity saver. And just simply awesome in every way!
    Thank you heaps..xxxx

    Nice words guys. Coffee and creativity go a long way when other stuff is short on the ground. Nice team to feel a part of.

    ... When we recognize in another’s art something new or something of ourselves we connect at a profound level – not only with them but with a common humanity. ...

    Yes.

  • RedBubble replied

    We can have endless debates about what “art is”. For me this is less relevant than what it does and connecting us is what it does.

    Spot on! I stand with you completely on these principles. Here’s to finding common ground and unity in our global community. Thank you redbubble for making all this possible :)

  • RedBubble replied

    Yes, if there is to be hope it will be when we are intrigued rather than frightened by difference and celebrate rather than ignore similarities.

  • Matt Simner

    Matt Simner

    Great to see this again. I continue to love how those at the heart of RB place such high value on the community and the positive culture of RB. It’s very easy to understimate a ‘real’ community when the web is now so big and prevalent in people’s lives.

    Make no mistake – RB is different, and that’s why we all keep coming (from all our different backgrounds) back for more. We’re in safe hands as long as these values run through all those involved with the site (staff and members).

  • RedBubble replied

    Matt
    Couldn’t agree more. RB is different because we all value the things which truly matter – each other, each other’s art, the joy of discovery to name a few things.

    RedBubble is the reason I’m late for work every morning! I have to check out the latest entries and make a few comments – then curse cuz I’m late again!!! Time flies when you’re having fun and RebBubble is such a great way to spend some time!

  • Vanella Mead

    RB did something amazing for me. I joined I showed my art to people i have never met and found out some of them liked it and some even wanted to buy it. RB made me an artist not just someone doodling in front of the TV.

    the friendships that have been made here are amazing

    the support, both artistically and personally

    the range of art on here, from outrageous to fine art

    the astonishing talent of the writers

    the fact that you guys running the place do actually invite feedback, and then act on it ! ! ! !

    and the true feeling of community

    I salute you RB’er Staff

    This site and all the wonderful people have saved my life from mediocre boredom. It is addicting and in a great way it has renewed artists sense of commitment to the one thing in life which will never go away….and that is producing art from our very soul and will always be the air we breathe. Thank you Redbubble for bringing together people, thoughts and ideas from all over the world !!!

  • RedBubble replied

    The feeling of mediocrity is the silent despair or our age. And yet we all are simply marvelous and simply need a way to share that. You “roar” and we “roar” with you.

    United we stand divided we fall

    In a barrel of apples there’s always one bad.
    Make a stand for humanity, freeze like a sculpture
    Root out all the Evil, now and in the future
    This earth is precious for all evil to exist
    Families that are parted, fathers truly missed.
    Heroes of this world, rescue teams that are fast

    Redbubble has introduced me to photography – now I have had several homepage features, around 40000 views, about 10 sales, hundreds of comments (on just my top six pieces of art) and tons of new-found confidence – and when I started, I had only ever taken one photo, which I duly uploaded! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

    I’ve learned lots and gained much by being a part of RB. The comments I’ve had on my work have been so encouraging, particularly when I’ve been posting somewhat experimental material. It’s encouraged me to explore new areas. At times I’ve been truly inspired by what I’ve found on another artist’s site; and I know that equally I have inspired others. The past 18months with red bubble have been a great adventure. Congratulations and thank you.

  • RedBubble replied

    Jeffrey
    I (Pilgrim) have found the same thing – as have we all. You put something out there and get a bit of feedback and you find yourself being better than you ever thought you could be.

  • Ambur Fraser

    Ambur Fraser

    Everyone on RedBubble is so welcoming, and so very much appreciative to comments and critisism towards their work, as well as giving it.
    No matter what pulls at your imagination, no matter what you use to capture it, there is a group for you on RedBubble, along with many members who have similar ideas, who are willing to offer advice, or words of wisdom.

    There are so many websites that you can post your work on, but you dont find the same great people, the bubble is very much a community, and a great one at that.

    cheers to the bubble, no matter where in the world you are!

I’ve learnt much, grown stronger, deepened my understanding, gained the dearest friends, improved my skills, experimented so much more than I ever would have because of the challenges here, and realised who I am… A creative being. I continue to be often blown away by my talented friends here and the new artists I stumble across. Success is not equvalent to sales… It is more about how we conduct ourselves and honour others along the way. That’s why I love red bubble, this is the heart of it.

    Great RB, but what’s this “renewed threat of a boiling planet” nonsense? I’m a climate rationalist, and even the warmists concede it has been cooling for the last 8 years, contrary to their beloved UN models and rising CO2. Let’s remain focussed on facts.

  • RedBubble replied

    Dohnmuill, however we think about the warming planet, I love your art. You combine scenery and human artifacts in a telling way.

    I was a member here for a year and a half commenting a couple of friends and never knew what I was missing, until, exactly two months ago, I made my first upload to RB. Several days later I joined some groups, and that was the beginning of many great relationships here, gained confidence, perspective, and knowledge by sharing in other’s joy and art. It’s now my social network of choice. Why not spend time where others are of the same creative bent. Speaking of bent, love what you stand for. Thanks for everything.

    Not only is the community strong here but so is the art. I have made many good relationships off of here including meeting others from Toronto on the other side of the flippen earth! Now how cool is that? Where else can you interact with people from all corners of the globe and all walks of life?? I am grateful to be in such good company…however,,,it’s so damn addicting! You need to post a warning when people join about your butts being planted in your chairs once they join. P.S. Bubble is getting much notice here in Canada as well…I have already pulled in 5 other artists to join in the fun and games. I like the sense of freedom on here…second to none on any of my other sites. Glad to be a part of RB! Greetings from Toronto!!

    You have done what politics cannot
    You have joined the world in one global culture of acceptance
    Our individual uniqueness is celebrated as is our united love of all things creative
    In this site we can stand for our beliefs and find friends and educate others to what we know and be respected for our own person and our own understandings – thus finding validation
    and we can find information and education and learn to understand that which is new to us or obscure to us and thus become world wise
    and it is blanketed in the stunning complete understanding of all genres of art!
    For people with any level of depression this is the greatest healing place
    For people with any level of insecurity this is the greatest confidence builder
    For people who do not have these afflictions it is the greatest place to give back to help others to share educate & pay Dues
    Yes it is addictive – as is FRESH AIR & CLEAN WATER & LOVE!!!
    You have done the world a service and I for one am so honoured to have been a part of it for the last 18 months!!
    Thank you for the venue that showed me I am a writer of some note and I am a valid person to the hundreds I watch the hundreds who watch me and the thousands we collectively help!

    And I stand with you, as well.

    I stand with you so much that I want to share something very personal:

    When I opened the poster tube that RedBubble had sent to me, this card was taped and holding the plastic poster covering in place to prevent damage during shipping. The back reads something to the effects of, “This isn’t all; upload your photo with your new purchase to the Buyer’s Booth and win $30 voucher, yadda yadda…” and while I find that to be interesting and cute and all, what got me was the front of the card.

    I struggle with self-esteem issues daily. I constantly have to raise myself up and out of the self-inflicted pit of misgivings that lies at my feet no matter which direction I step in.

    This small card, having Nothing to do with me on a personal level, is Therapy.

    Thanks, RedBubble. Sincerely.

    in my early years online before the web in the time of unix, usenet, irc, muds and the world of fidonet …there were communities of like minded people (and sometimes not so like minded (grin)) connecting all across this planet .. BUT there has never been a home I’ve had quite like or anywhere near like RedBubble …
    .
    I could echo endlessly what others have said about acceptance, encouragement, friendships, etc. ... well just know that I too feel the same …

    Hopeful to a “Better Tomorrow”
    A better tomorrow is in each of our hands
    within our grasps, if we choose to understand

    Everything changes and will come to an end
    inevitable in our life’s relation with family and friends

    Some things will and some won’t go according to plan
    intentions don’t matter and no exceptions for fellowman

    Life, as we perceive it, will not always seem fair
    especially when ego uses drama’s fear to scare

    Pain of some consequence is part of life too
    body and mind distressed with the aching loss of virtue

    People are not loving and loyal all the time
    is a truth to be embraced, as we continue to climb

    To the heights of our spirit, we’ll echo passing on this light
    of peaceful love in our hearts and hands to share this insight.

    Not sure what the intent was of this comment but one key decision we made was that we don’t make money unless you do. There is no advertising on the site and this means that the only way we can make any money is when you make sales. This alignment of interest is vital to us and underpins our commitment to the artists.

    That’s a long stand, and it’s great to see RB is still holding on to what many sites lack in the first place. PRINCIPLES.

    I love that “I am not rubbish” postcard too, I still have mine tucked away with my purchase. Whenever I struggle with my work I pull that card out just to remind me. If a little postcard can have value to me, then the work I purchased (MY work) must have at least the same value if not more.

    Thank you Redbubble guys! I look forward to my time on line with you everyday and sometimes several times a day. I have met so many wonderful artists online and also in person through Redbubble. They have all inspired and encouraged me to do better. To not think of myself as just a person who takes photos, but as a photo artist! That’s amazing to me. If it weren’t for Redbubble I would never have reached this far and found so much enjoyment in my photography hobby. I have coined a phrase when referring to meeting in person a member of Redbubble. I am calling it “Redbubbling”. I think we should have Redbubble Reunions in all our regions and areas of our countries. Dream with me for a moment about a possible “Redbubble World Reunion”!!! Keep up the good work for all of us. We love you. Now, if I could just sell one of my photos I would be on cloud nine!! Best regards, Carol Clifford, Coquitlam, B.C. Canada

    I think I’ve been aware for a while that ‘you’ were the ‘real red’ (or ‘the most often red’ or however to put it…) and you are so so right (and Descartes was and has been proven wrong) – I ‘create’, and I can only truly do that if I, in myself, am aware of my SELF, and am ALIVE. Red Bubble has been a very big part of my ability and awareness to ‘be’.
    Thank you.

    I absolutely adore being an active member on redbubble and am one of those people who goes around blabbling and promoting it all the time. My art teachers just do not get it but its about marketing, its about reaching global audiences, its about being a part of an art community. Its true its about inspiring, sharing and working together. Its the best web site on the net in my opinion. I am a loyal and loving member of this community and I support everyone who endevours to share their art with us on redbubble.

    Loved your comments and Hey! I have only just cottoned on so shall read more of your words. I am still finding my way around in here. OK I’m slow but can’t spend all day on the computer.

    i can’t begin to tell you how fortunate i feel to have found this site…...it still amazes me that i can be sitting in front of my computer at home, reading or looking or talking to someone in Austria or Australia or wherever…..computers have made it easy to feel a part of the vast world out there, but RedBubble has made it fun and rewarding! LONG LIVE THE BUBBLE!

    I actually get teased and critised for my passion for redbubble. THe fact is I do a lot of colloboration with other artists on redbubble. My latest painting of Girl with Guitar was a painting done by a lady who photographed her daughter in a romote state of USA. They cannot understand why, and I myself think, “whats not to understand”. I value my colloborations on redbubble. Heck there is even a group for us on the Bubble. I even got a gig in a publication because of redbubble page. Its gold being in this community. Gold, and oh REd of course!

  • RedBubble replied

    Collaborations are so wonderful. They take the “solitary” out of the artistic journey and we think this can make it richer.

    I think you gjys have done a fantastic job really. Of all the online art gallery out there, you truly DO care & always pushing the boundaries. I’ll always be grateful the day I googgled for ‘online art’ and you pop up on the top. :)

    Couldnt be on a better site! There is no other site (at least that I have ever found, there for its not there! :P) that is as helpful, caring, friendly and humorous as the Bubble! It inspires me everyday to try something new, and to go to the effort to run around the house scavenging for random materials I can use when shooting water droplets or what ever im doing that day. And hell, if it wasnt for the Bubble, I wouldnt have passed year 12! (seriously). So thanks to everyone here!

  • RedBubble replied

    passing year 12! great achievement and if we helped in any way we are truly thrilled (pilgrim)

    Hand impressions are a common motif in rock art throughout the world. Signifying the artist’s presence, they are a way of saying ‘we are here, we are are part of this place’.
    Manja is pronounced Manya and means ‘hand’ in Jardwadjali

    I AM HERE…I AM PART OF THIS PLACE
    Thank you Red Bubble! ♥

    Mahalo nui for all you’ve done!

    This is a marvelous community of extraordinarily talented artists and photographers, with a wonderful social network and one of the most beautiful archival collection of images I’ve ever seen. This is a very beautiful virtual gallery and I am continuously inspired by the sensational talent and creativity of the many wonderful members of this site. I have been a member on Redbubble for almost a year now and it is such great fun.

    Aloha ‘oe!

    I am humble by this creed! I look forward everyday to opening up my account and seeing the beautiful treasures people have captured and created. I have never thought of myself as an artist and when my dear friend Ladd told me about this site I was leary. From being on this site I have learned to enjoy my photography and grow from it. The feedback I get makes me want to go more place and see more things. To have a place to share them has been priceless. It has open worlds to me I hadn’t known were there. So thank you for Redbubble! Without RB my days would be less bright!

  • RedBubble replied

    thank you so much and do continue to enjoy.

    I am both filled with pride and humility to be a part of this unique global community of people united in the pursuit for excellence in our own brands of art and revelling in the freedom of sharing this excellence with each other.
    Thank you Redbubble for being both the catalyst and conduit of us all.

  • RedBubble replied

    I think its global nature is what moves us also. We actually move beyond our comfort zones, existing friends etc with RB and that is lovely.

    A year ago if I was offered the opportunity to attend artist workshops (for more details see I would have demured and said I was just a dabbler. Now I have taken the bull by the horns and am looking forward joining the other women artists next Monday. Can’t wait

    Moving the buyers can be challenging. Increasingly we find the most effective things you can do are things that you do as there is a limit to how much we can do via Search Engine Optimization etc.
