last year on the 7th of July 2007 I was looking through a Japanese/English dictionary for a name i could use for the characters that i was designing in illustrator. one word i typed in was prince and up came a few translations including one that caught my eye “mikoto” i spoke to a japanese friend who explained to me that the word was no longer used in that context as it was actually an ancient word used for the son of an emperor. i loved the story and i adopted the word to encompass all of the designs that i do. it has been a year that has where waves of creativity have had to compete with personal needs and my primary profession of being a teacher. What hasn’t waned is the warm and generous support of all my friends and supporters (especially those form red-bubble) from who seem to love what has been created. So i though as the first anniversary of mikoto passed on the 7/7/7 i would put all of the T-shirt designs onto one file. (its a few days late) thanks everyone who has commented, Bmailed, purchased, etc scotty (｡◕‿‿◕｡)

2 Feb 07 was the launch day of RedBubble.com! Happy Birthday RedBubble! It’s been an incredibly busy year – thanks to all for your support and patience as we continue to build RedBubble. For me personally the most heartening thing over the last year has been the myriad of individual stories we hear in the RedBubble office. People selling their art for the first time. People rediscovering their creative passion. People forming new friendships. When we launched RedBubble on 2 Feb 07 this is what we wrote: People are inherently creative. Deep down, most of us love to come up with new ideas, express who we are, or take a different perspective on the world around us. This is particularly true of children. Remember chalk on the footpath, crayon on the walls, or a painting stuck proudly to the fridge with a magnet. Kids love stories, they love learning about new things, they ask obvious yet somehow overlooked questions. So why don’t many of us focus on our creative interests as adults? Is there something about the process of growing up that changes us, that convinces us to be serious and sensible? Do we lose the ability to be creative? Or does it just get buried amidst the responsibilities, worries and priorities of adult life? Look closer, though, and you’ll see sparks of creativity in adults everywhere. Since starting our RedBubble journey, we’ve been amazed at how many of our close friends have “confessed” to a secret creative hobby, a little spark of creativity that few else know about. Look at the statistics and the picture is clearer still. Over 2.5 million Australians regularly take part in some sort of creative or cultural activity. Almost 90% do this entirely for free, for the simple enjoyment of it. A fortunate few earn a living from it, but most keep their creative spark alive in their own time and without sharing it with the world. RedBubble was founded with a burning desire to improve this situation. And there are some major social and technological trends helping us out. New technology has placed the creative tools of professionals in the hands of amateurs. With digital cameras, editing software, low cost hardware and more, it is easier than ever to produce your own creative content. Truly, the line between professionals and talented amateurs is blurring. And the traditional distinction between producers on one side and consumers on the other fades away – now you can be both! Another important trend is the way that the internet helps side-step the tyranny of distance and lower the cost of distribution. For a country as huge and remote as Australia, this is life-changing. No longer can you be held hostage by limited product ranges, poor information or high costs. If it’s available elsewhere on the globe, you can find it, read about it and buy it in no time at all. Witness also the growth of MySpace and YouTube, riding an internet-powered wave of self-expression and connectedness. Not to mention the millions of blogs out there. For some it’s about fame and the chance of being discovered. But for many, it’s simply about expressing themselves or hanging out with others who share their interests. Yet, plenty of people have held back from self-expression online. Creative talent does not necessarily go hand in hand with technical savvy. And many people don’t feel comfortable sharing their deeply personal creative work in existing online environments. So we asked ourselves: why isn’t there an online home for creative people? A place where they can belong to a genuine creative community, express their thoughts, get inspired, and collaborate with others? And why shouldn’t they be able to turn their creative passion into real objects for themselves or others, without worrying about hassles like producing, marketing, selling, and shipping? And so the concept for RedBubble was born. And the more we thought about it, the more excited we became about making it a reality. We wrote a business plan, left our jobs, scraped together funding, and built a talented team. Eight months later, here we are with the first version of RedBubble alive and kicking. Where RedBubble goes from here is up to you… One year later and this first RedBubble entry still holds true. With your support our vision is well on the way to being realized. Today RedBubble has a little under 38,000 members and about 600,000 works. The site is international with 33% of our visitors from the US, 31% from Australia, 16% from the UK, 5% from Canada and the balance from Germany, France, The Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Sweden and Israel. When we did the numbers in January our estimate is that RedBubble is the second fastest growing arts site on the Internet. And perhaps the most exciting thing is that year one was about learning how to walk (well fell over a lot). A year later and we’ve worked out how to walk – so 2008 should be an even more productive year for the evolution of RedBubble! Justin and I will post more on the 2008 planning in the next week. - Peter P.S.

I would like to say a very BIG thank you to tinygdynamite, who guided me through the process to adding a little magic to this picture. Thank you so very much tinygdynamite Lil Red Riding Hood walked through the wood, / when she came out she be back in the hood / They danced and they sang in the street / and never once did they miss a beat. / The music rose and was heard all around… / the fairies and elves came up from the ground. / They looked and searched to find where it came… / when they saw it they were never the same. / They left the wood all in a group, / to sing and dance with the hiphop troupe Rap Poem by Dmarie
