2.14pm – Wednesday afternoon The keys on this plastic alphabet are sticky. The seat has no back and the minutes are expensive. The sub audible hum of ten thousand anxious people reverberate through the terminal floor. The timeless neon glow of Gates 31-40, Baggage Claim, Toilets and a Foodcourt burn into my pores. A voice informs me that Mr Nigel Sankey should really hurry along to Gate 36, because all the people already wedged onto the plane are getting seriously annoyed. In another life our original flight had not suffered the generic ‘engineering difficulties’ and we were already home, but in this life we were destined to spend half a day in Sydney airport at an internet cafe, so still in this life I wrench the keyboard from a neighbouring computer and walk resolutely towards the mannequins at the Virgin Service Desk, a blank look in my eye. / How did it come to this? 7.55am – Earlier that same day El Presidente and I burst into the breakfast room of the Shangri La hotel in Sydney, where NetGuide are holding the ceremony of their yearly internet awards. The room goes slightly quiet, the dog in the corner ceases playing the piano, and the 100% suited and booted occupants turn to look at these last minute arrivals, one in a vibrant red limited edition RedBubble tee, the other in a faux-Napoleonic military jacket. I wave my cane in the direction of some empty seats and we take our place between the MD of eBay and a man from the Bureau of Meteorology. A general air that we may be ‘chancers’ prevails. The ceremony begins, and decorum is held in fine corporate silence, broken by an intermittent golf clap as another nervous individual waddles up to claim their glass shard. The 14th prize is for Best New Site, and it is won by a company called Web Menu, but also has a Highly Commended Category, which RedBubble wins. None of the other categories really have second place awards, and so we still appear like we are here for the free breakfast. The final two awards, however, are a little more prestigious, and they begin with the ‘People’s Choice’ which NetGuide are very proud of, and after building it up to unprecendented heights they announce that RedBubble has conquered it without question. You can hear the room inhale in unison, then vigourously clap. Afterwards everyone was very friendly, coming over to congratulate and talk details, I was even accosted by one man in the gents but I requested he wait until I finish, I think he had something to do with the ceremony. We hand out some t-shirts and greetings cards and even some bubbles, which could be seen floating around the room towards the end of the event. 9.45am After a suitably cheesy photoshoot, we jump into a taxi and head for the airport and hopefully, a quick flight home. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—— I’d just like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the whole team, to thank all of you, and not just all of you who managed to read this whole post, or even all of you who voted for us, but ALL of you. Because you really do make this site as vibrant as it is, without you we’re nothing, well, not nothing, we’d be a bunch of nerds in a room with some flashy computers and an endless biscuit supply, but I don’t think there’s an award for that. / So thanks and don’t stop now, we’re just getting warmed up. onetonshadow, and everybody else Oh and big up to NetGuide for the whole event, bacon and free mousemats, here’s what they have to say about it Addendum / I’d also like to thank the mighty Anne van Alkemade for stumbling across the competition in the first place and alerting our eager community. May your days be filled with fine wines and tasty cakes.

When was the last time a moment was taken to sit down and admire the beauty around you? To soak in the setting sun, to listen to a child laugh, or allow a quiet breeze to kiss your cheek. When was the last you counted your blessings, and felt rich just because you were alive? When was the last time you really noticed the beauty around you, and knew that it was created by a loving Father in Heaven just for you. If this were your last day on earth, could you really say that you had lived and appreciated all life has to offer? When was the last time….. Picture taken at Moss Landing California

I was at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC and I loved the sight of this one. I did a bit of solarizing to accent the colors to where I liked them…the original photo doesn’t have this color. I thought it caught the eye better this way. :)

From time to time I like to shine a light on some real gems that members of the RB community have produced that haven’t gotten the attention that they deserve. As you can tell from the title, in this edition of Underappreciated Art, I will be focusing on animals. Animals of all kinds are so dear to my heart, and I really love seeing photos that look deep into their hearts and capture something special. So, without further ado, here are the features: by Lisa Kenny by acearns by Shelley Spillenaar by cml16744 by whisperjo by Jamaboop (this one already has a lot of comments on it, but I just had to include the smiling pig in this feature!) by bigfootstl by Dave Bassett by Michael Sheridan by Jessica Jones by amjaywed by Derek Dafoe by Bandicoot by Anne-Marie Bokslag by Krys Bailey That’s it for now… Well, what are you waiting for? Go comment and get some new favorites! :)

In “Sun Lover” I’ve tried to recreate the female form in motion as realistically as possible – eliminating all evidence of any brush strokes so as to make her skin look more natural and realistic. / The horizon line of the ocean is the only incidental detail of the beach, and is barely visible so as not to detract from the main focus of woman. / And no, I didn’t use an airbrush… Oil on Board – No Airbrushing 58 X 36 inches / 147 X 92 cm Original : / $2500 AU – excluding p&p from Melbourne, Australia / contact my Agents at Gallery 112 / ............................................................................................

I don’t want a political debate,, I only want to say how much I am in appreciation of someone within the American political arena who is willing to question how we regard each others differences.. Sweep them under the rug like child abuse used to be,, back in the 1950’s and before or just look, look at the demons square up. It seems the attention to where we truly stand regarding race, gender or sexual differences have to be examined before we can move forward. / I am an artist who loves/hates to look at my demons weather I use the pen and paper or a photo to tell the tale,, I know I have the capacity to change my world by looking under the bed and in the closet for the boogie monsters that are kept alive by the story of their reality rather than the reality itself.. / Peace On / xoxoxoxoxox
