The Missing Remaining White Rhinos / The White Rhino is believed to be on the brink of extinction. In April 2003 there were 30 rhinos. In 2006 there were only 4 confirmed animals but worryingly, recent fieldwork in 2008 has so far failed to find any presence of these four remaining White Rhinos. Could it be they are disguising themselves as common Zebra to avoid poachers? On the face of it a humorous image but in reality, another depressing effect man has had on the natural world. This t-shirt has been designed to be printed black on black, so be brave and choose the black tee option, it will print like this: /

Pastel painting on Kitty Wallis sanded pastel paper. From a photo shopped photographic reference shot I took of my daughter. My daughter and model dragged me along to an antiwar march in DC this past St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 2007. Best parade I was ever in on the day! That march really influenced my work and “Lucy” was painted a month after the experience. The photo reference was taken at Kent State University when we were visiting my son for homecoming. My daughter was standing on the hill where the shootings had taken place in 1970, I saw the shot, and captured her as she really was, crazy Halloween top hat and the balloon she’d Christened “Tuesday” with a sharpie marker. I reversed the puffy white clouds in photo shop to create a smoky haze of “War Is Over” clouds. The white outline around the figure was a remnant of the photoshop effect. I liked the surreal quality of that so I kept it for the “LSD” Beatles factor. The piece is framed in an old 70’s frame and studded with plastic rhinestones. ;-) “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” Additional information from my myspace blog: I’ve been getting some questions about this piece, I suppose because it’s a bit of a departure for me. More surreal or psychedelic than my usual work. Part of that is intentional as a reflection of the nature of the Beatles tune which influenced the work. John Lennon always denied that the song referred to LSD, and was really inspired by Julian’s childish drawing of a girl flying in the sky. Appropriate that this pastel is inspired by my daughter’s personality. It shows her progression toward adulthood, which is the underlying theme of my White Album series. This work began as a candid snapshot of my artsy daughter at 16. We were visiting my son at Kent State U, Ohio, for Homecoming. She was really wearing the cheap top hat around campus that day, she had gotten it for her Halloween costume. The Kent Homecoming committee were passing out the balloons and she took one, and for some reason decided to name it “Tuesday” and wrote that on the balloon with a sharpie. It was a windy day with large puffy white clouds, and she was standing on the hill where the Kent State Massacre had occured. This is an important detail about my thought process for the piece, as the tragic event happened in May 1970 – the year the Beatles broke up, and around the time John Lennon began his life with Yoko and did the Baggism, Bed-In and “War Is Over” song and campaign. I saw the shot that day as she stood on the hill, and my daughter held the pose for just a moment. She hates when I take her photo – but she’s so damn quirky and cute I can’t resist! I got down low to have only the sky for a backdrop. Her expression is actually more resigned exasperation with me than anything deeper. Somehow her signature stoicism works. I played with the image in photoshop and liked the sky reversed, with darks where the whites had been. The blue sky turned the opposite on the color wheel, “marmalade” colored. The white outline is a remnant from the photoshop effect I was using, and since she was backlit in the original photo, I thought it was cool, and again, a bit surreal. The balloon was really blue, but the effect reversed that, too. It’s not meant to be realistic. I had just watched “John Lennon vs. the US” at the time and thought I’d add the words “War Is Over” to the balloon, as a flashback to the 1970’s and a hopeful premonition for today. “War is over Tuesday” may have worked as well ;) My daughter is an activist against the war and while she doesn’t like her likeness here, she does like the message. The flowers on the balloon could be a reference to “cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head” but that didn’t occur to me til today :) My friends have been interpreting this piece in different ways. One wondered if the balloon is her hallucination. Another says the clouds are post-war colors. I like that. ~ A

Bin The Cluster Bombs / More than 100 countries attending a conference in Dublin, Ireland formally adopted a treaty to ban cluster bombs – a large, unreliable and inaccurate weapon that often affects civilians long after the end of armed conflict. Some of the biggest makers and users of cluster bombs cited by human rights groups, such the United States, Russia, China and Israel, were not involved in the talks and did not sign the accord. Organizers expressed hope that those nations would nevertheless be pressured into compliance. / Source: CNN

The two lovers enter each others mouths in a passionate exchange of lust and sexual energy. Shedding their clothing slowly, they progress to more and more heated exchanges of hand movements and mouth actions. Inside each other, they have found something so alluring and erotic that neither can go a day without the sensuous bodily rhythm they share.

The Birds Aren’t Singing / Miners once took canaries down the mines to detect dangerous gases, if the birds stopped singing or even died it was a sure sign that there was a critical level of gas and they would make their way to the surface. Globally we are producing excessive amounts of CO2 which is choking the planet contributing to global warming, are the birds going to warn us of our impending fate? Detail: /

RedBubble Thursday Release Notes
by RedBubbleHello hello, welcome to another RedBubble Thursday. Here’s an update on what’s been released, what’s coming up and what’s going on: ...
Hello hello, welcome to another RedBubble Thursday. Here’s an update on what’s been released, what’s coming up and what’s going on: Activity Monitor This is still very much a work in progress, so I probably should give you some background information. We think the Activity Monitor is really important to the future of RedBubble. As the site grows, we think it’s going to be more and more important that content comes to you instead of you having to find the content. This means more types of activity events will be sent to you, which also means you’ll probably want to customize your monitor, focusing on the information you want, and ignoring the stuff you don’t need. So we’ve split the Activity Monitor into two groups: “Favorite Feeds”, which will be shown by default “Other Feeds”, for the stuff that you don’t care about too much, but might want to check out from time to time You can move the feeds between the two groups to find the right balance of information for you. Here’s a quick screen shot: It might seem a little overkill right now, but as we add in more and more feeds, I think it’s going to make a huge difference. We’ll also make it easier to organize the feeds (soon-ish) with drag-n-drop, etc. 2009 Calendars We’ve also rolled out a new 2009 Calendar design (all calendars have been automatically updated). Here’s a preview of the cover, February and the new back cover from one of John’s Calendars calendars : They’re still self-purchase only at this stage (which means they can’t be purchased by the general public), but we’ll try and get to that really soon! Pete says “if we sell more than a hundred in June, I’ll buy John a beer”. We think this should be extended to all staff and apply to each batch of 100 calendars, so please, go and buy lots of calendars to keep us all well-hydrated! The Bubble Sites Beta Continues We’ll be inviting a few more testers today, and we’ve made some improvements to the product menu design: The Challenges Beta Continues The Challenge Café Group have been helping us beta test the new challenges interface. It’s going really well, and we’ll probably open up the testing to a few more groups in a week or two after we polish some edges. And… Sets Are Coming Soon! I’m usually really nervous about pre-announcing features, but the #1 feature request right now is sets—the ability to organize or group your work into smaller ‘sets’ or ‘collections’ or ‘folders’ or something. This has been amplified even more now that we’re beta testing the new Bubblesites. We’re still at least a month (or even two) away from releasing them, but I wanted to let you all know that we’re listening, working on it, and really want to get them out ASAP. Etc There’s also the usual swag of bug fixes, tweaks and little things that I’ll let you discover for yourselves! — Justin & all these wonderful people

This week has been a relatively short one in RedBubble land due to a public holiday, and various staff out of the office. However we still have a few new things now up on the site. The old ‘overview’ page in mybubble is now gone, and replaced with the new-look activity monitor. We have added some new activity types here from the ongoing challenges beta which will help you stay on top of what challenges are happening within your groups. The list of all your groups can still be found via the groups tab in ‘mybubble’. The challenges beta has been expanded to more groups. Challenges can now be found in Challenge Cafe, Painters in Modern Times, Melbourne & Victoria, / Promote Each Other, A Photographer’s Craft, and Short Stories. Also a reminder from last week that calendars have all now been updated to a new 2009 design. So if you haven’t already, you can get cracking and make some new funky calendars from your art in mybubble/calendars. - John
