Year overview 2011

---

Januari 2012 is well on it’s way, and before we fully move into the new year, I want to look back one more time on all the good things that 2011 has brought me here on Redbubble.

Just a few statistics:

In 2011, I uploaded 272 new works to my RB account

In the following journals, I tried to keep track from my main Rb-activities and achievements:

A month in a nutshell – January 2011 Overview
A month in a nutshell – February 2011 Overview
A month in a nutshell – March 2011 Overview
A month in a nutshell – April 2011 Overview
Challenge wins, Features & Top10 and other great events… May through August 2011
Sept. 2011 – my RB month in a nutshell
Giant Nutshell Overview – Oct-Dec 2011 – PART 1
Giant Nutshell Overview – Oct-Dec 2011 – PART 2

Based on these journals, I found that in 2011:

4 of my works were featured on the Rb homepage, and one of these, ‘Playful’ was also featured in RB-journal : 50 Breathtaking Examples Of Street Photography And Photojournalism

Looking down on snowy trees	Will freedom be our inheritance
Smile !	Playful

---

and at least 3 works were featured on the first page of RB Explore (it’s hard to keep track of this, since there is no automatic message about the Explore features)

Three generations

25 times one of my works became a challenge winner in a group challenge, and an average of 37 works per month were featured and/or chosen in a challenge top 10 at least once, but most of them several times, in one of my groups.
And I sold 1 calendar and 29 cards on Redbubble, and many more privately from my little home-store. Not quite enough yet to end up with an equal balance between what I invest and what I gain from the sales of my work, but just enough to justify the hope that maybe in 2012, I may reach that goal… (keeping fingers crossed ;) )

In 2011, I also posted 3 special journals:

1. 
   100 steps… An exciting photographic challenge

1. 
   Photo story: Two cormorants on a peaceful day

1. 
   Photo story: A flock of starlings

Thank you all very much for all the support I received for my work, and for the many fruitful exchanges and inspiring moments in 2011 – and Thank you Redbubble, for creating a platform that made this all possible! May 2012 be at least as creative and inspiring for all of us!
