  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.

  You know when you post something that is a step “outside the box” / just a bit beyond your borders of what is your usual art / and you hope others will see what you see / and feel it too? / This is true for me with when I posted Stream of Consciousness and to find the lovely comments from you who “keep an eye” and then to be Featured in Abstract from Nature ~ just feels so affirming!! / So a big shout out for thanks to the host Kitsmumma ~ so appreciate it! / Just made my day! / xxx Linda

  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! :)

  What a week on redbubble !! I’d just like to express my overwhelming joy and thanks to ALL in the RB community. / My week has been full of highlights and Blessings firstly with “The Covenant”being featured on the Art page. Secondly the sale of two cards of ‘The Covenant’ and ‘Blades on the Locks’, then my image ” The Broken Vessel” being chosen as the avatar for Living Christianity. To top it all off, I opened up redbubble to find that “The Covenant”had made the Home Page!! / I would like to offer my very sincere thanks to everybody who took the time to view “The Covenant” and make ALL those wonderful comments, it really is very overwhelming and somewhat humbling to have such beautiful and genuine comments from a community of very talented people, here on RB !!! / I would also like to express my thanks to those who voted for “The Broken Vessel”, it is real joy to be able to represent the group, like that !! / In regard to “The Covenant” it really was one of those Divine appointments where i was in the right place at the right time to capture “The Magic of the Moment” / The image was taken just after a rainstorm, towards sunset at the close of a rather hot, humid, stormy summer’s day near Geelong, Australia. / Once again thankyou for your wonderful support, / Phil T.

  Hey all you fabulous artists! Until now, I have refrained from posting a journal entry every time someone buys a print/card, because I would hope that my undying gratitude toward the purchaser is just a given. Today, though, I logged in to find that some amazing, wonderful person has bought five of my cards! That’s quite a bundle! I want to publicly thank this person from the bottom of my heart, and let it be known that this gesture has really given me a much-needed boost of confidence about my work. While I’m at it, I feel I should also extend this gratitude to those who have bought cards before and gone unacknowledged. I want them to hear directly from me how much it really means. I’m so thankful and so excited and I apologize for the belated recognition. Thank you so much – whoever you are!
