RedBubble


Fifty Grand

So in the small hours of this morning, while a lot of Australians were out celebrating the long weekend, and the rest of the world was preparing to pretend to be inflicted by interesting illnesses in order to avoid Monday, RedBubble passed a small milestone in the shape of 50,000 members.

We’re quite chuffed about this. And instead of writing more words we’ve prepared a graph to explain exactly how it happened:

Hopefully that answers any questions you may have had.

Happy Monday

    To answer your questions in the Graph

    Question 1

    What makes people buy plasticine?

    My wife bought some today for your 4 year ! He loves playing with it

    Question 2

    Why can’t we get off the internets?

    Well first of all there is no such thing as ” Internets ” its not a plural word. Its INTERNET. The reason we can’t get off them is because that would be like saying why do we need to breath air. To much email , things to look up, and too many great artists on RB!!

    Question 3

    Why do kids draw on walls?

    Cause they’re there! Well my little guy did draw on his keyboard with a marker but one of those MR Clean Magic Eraser sponges is a miracle worker! It made it disapear!!!

    More importantly congrats on 50,000 members!!!!!

  • RedBubble replied

    We felt the graph admirably answered all these questions anyway. Especially the need for a pluralisation of the Internets.
    But your admirable advice on Mr Clean Magic Erasers may cause a restructure of the third parameter.
    Thank you.

  • Darlene Marryatt-Ruhs

    Darlene Marrya...

    Woooohoooo! I’d be curious to know how many pieces of work that amounted to at that time too.

  • Joanne  Bradley

  • Russell Fry

    Russell Fry

    Congrats on the milestone! I’m a little nervous, I worked in a government office and somehow the graph makes perfect sense to me…. ROFL

  • RedBubble replied

    Don’t worry. I’ve never worked for the Government and it makes perfect sense to me too.
    It can also be used to convince your offspring that television is evil.

  • Tallulah

  • Duncan Waldron

    Duncan Waldron

    (1) It’s not clear whether ‘Plasticine’ includes Play-Doh and cheap supermarket white bread. If not, then your results will be skewed.
    (2) Please show your working.
    (3) No allowance has been made for alcohol … I’d recommend 2 large malt whiskies per night.

  • Jeffrey S. Rease

    Jeffrey S. Rease

    Yea!

    Now, can I get that graph on a t-shirt? :-)

  • RedBubble replied

    Of course not.
    It’s secret, don’t tell anyone you’ve seen it.
    (Actually you can, send you size and colour preference to “I want that all purpose genius graph on a t-shirt and I want it now” to the usual address)

    I noticed a lot of Red Bubble members are also professionals and use the platform as a stepping stone for their work. One of the things Red Bubble could do to help hobbyists, students and other people passionate about their work is to let them create Red Bubble T-shirts where their (our) name will appear as “created by” for example. I would do it without getting a percentage on it since I’d get the free advertisment, but I’m not sure if it’s fair for everybody.

  • RedBubble replied

    This is something the Minister of T-Shirts has been working on for a while.

    Good to know there are people out there with a sense of humor and plasticine.
    ....Why do kids draw on walls though? We encourage them to draw, then they make a beautiful pice of artwork for you…right on your living room wall for everyone to see, and we yell at them for it….poor things must be so confused….and then we happen and join RB!
    Proud to be a part of it!

    Amazing achievement, peculiar and wonderful graph, and congratulations.
    You make me feel incredibly lazy, however. I have a failthful list I comment on and visit and look forward to, and it’s no where near fifty thousand. I’m going to have to start exploring more, and expand my horizons.

    I have seen 15 years of molecular research demonstrated in a few lumps of plasticine. my kid drew on walls and my life is entwined with the net. This chart could be the meaning of my life….

    RB rock on

  • Pal Gyomai

    Pal Gyomai

    That’s exactly how I would have done the graph. It makes perfect sence for artists.
    I have no idea what placticine is, but drawing on walls and the internet are both fun. So therefore this is the best graph there is.

    I knew there was a logical explanation about RB’s growth; thanks for clearing up how it all happened. My analysis of the factors leads me to believe that the growth will continue exponentially. I highly recommend an immediate purchase of larger sheets of graph paper. If you compress the data any further, some people might not be able to understand.
