Zeanana


Comment to all those on my watchlist, all those who are watching me, all those I have favourites from, all those who have favourited my work and everyone else churning the wheels on the Bubble...

I have never been much good with words, or generally with expressing myself the way I’d like to.
Generally, I have an attention span of a sparrow – or a Magpie – Ohhhh Shinieeeeeee … swush .. gone she is…
In such, I am surprised, how many hours I can spend on red bubble, browsing through galleries, looking at my favourites over and over and over again without ever getting bored.
The Bubble – or more – the Artists of the Bubble make me go through the motions. I feel everything on here starting from joy about the great pictures, the fantastic scenes, and the big hubub of talents all over all the way down to deepest envy.

So often, I go through the galleries of the ones I watch, and just hovering over the comments button without then commenting not at all. There is just no words, that describe what for example Pauldrobertson’s Words and Arts arise in me.

So many people are doing their fantastic photography, painting, writing for a good purpose. Mundy Hacket, Steve Bulford, Lisa Putman – just to name a few. Looking at their pictures makes me go all awed and sad at the same time – sad because I cannot just click on the buy button to support them. And again, I lack the words for comments that express more than “great job” alone..

On this Bubble there is a majority of great jobs… fantastic works, great art, wonderful photography. Just two days ago, I found two more photographers living in Austria, whose galeries blow me away. And I know, looking at everyone on here – featured, non-featured, appreciated, overseen in the masses… What everyone does is more than just “great job”, “fantastic work”, “great DOF”, “great talent” – it’s a part of themselves, everyone shared. A part of their lives, a part of whatever is dear to them. And this is what makes me glad to see – to find so much emotion, so much classique and so much depth in the Bubble.
And just adding another “fantastic” to already existing 25 greats, excellents & outstandings doesn’t truly express what I REALLY want to say…

I am not commenting everywhere and a lot. I am not commenting each and every single picture people from my watchlist upload – if you expect this, I am sorry, I failed your expectations. But words could never express how your art touches me. Sometimes, I stop and a picture remembers me of something I have experienced – I add a few lines and thank for arousing the memories. I like sharing the “little stories”, and still – the words just don’t cut it…

So this is just my general comment to go out there… To thank you all (just to blow into the same trumpet as all the other Thank You letters ;c) ), for watching, commenting, browsing, clicking, favouriting, hovering, lurking,...

(Sorry if I offended someone with my sentimental, sappy stuff :c/ ... )

    NO! There is no offense or sappiness! Your words are great and you echo the same sentiments I experience myself when browsing redbubble. I love peering into the depths of people’s souls….because bascially when you are a true artist, your soul becomes very visible in your work….. AND you are one such person I have enjoyed meeting Zeanana, seeing your images and reading your stories….THANK YOU…...
    and by the way, i also agree that sometimes a comment is just not enough…..I still wish there was an icon on the keyboard for “deep reverent silence”...... or a big inhale of breath…. or something more honouring of the effect some images have on me….
    Thanks for sharing in this amazing web of creation…..

    Hun… when it comes to my work… a hug would do just fine. X

    If a piece ‘touches you’ simply say ‘touching’ or share why it touches you. YOU own the comment box, do with it what you like… as long as its nice. And I couldnt see you being anything short of nice so just write what you feel.

    You said you never have been much good with words, what was all that above then? You are a kind and true person Zeanana and don’t worry if you can’t comment on all the art here it will turn you mad if you did. I have over 100 people in my watch list and I just can’t comment all the time but everyones work is fantastic and yours is of course. So just enjoy the ride get off now and again then get back on to see what part of the world it takes you to.

    everyone is different, have different time constraints and so everyone adopts a different approach. It would be very boring otherwise!

    All and any comments are very welcome and knowing you take extra care is even more special.

    Zeanana …...............just keep looking and appreciating the Art of Redbubble. Thats all any of us can do…....................this thing is growing faster than any can keep up with, it would be impossible to comment on but a few of what we see….............comments are great but just the fact somebody other than my immediate family has looked at my images is support enough.
