Do I really need to say this? We can profit from our art on Redbubble. I get the feeling people are not understanding this concept. Redbubble is merely and only our personal art gallery. It’s not a static destination where you stop and stare, but a dynamic gallery of photographs forever showing art that best represents what we’d like the general public to purchase. From Cards through to Framed wall-hangings, our work is available to purchase online. Redbubble provides a slick website that is so easy for choosing frames/laminates/cards/t_shirts/etc, purchasing the product and easy-delivery system. They make it amazingly easy to be a small-business owner. Or at least make a small to moderate amount of play-money on the side. I encourage all Artists to use Redbubble to get started, but don’t let it stop you in your tracks. It staggers me how many people are sitting behind their computers with tapping fingers saying, “OK, Now they can see me, they will come here any moment now to purchase my art!” “No they won’t!! You have to find the customers yourself. Redbubble enables you to purchase your own work … and then on-sell it. / My Redbubble Business In August 2007 I purchased thirty cards via Redbubble. I gave five as gifts to very close friends, simply blank cards without messages, but with a simple note … do what you like with this. / Some people kept them, others used them within minutes to send off as Birthday cards. Most asked where I got them from and can they have more? The remaining cards sold within 24hours of arrival from Redbubble! Then I emailed those people, other friends and family, showing them my RB gallery. I have repeat customers because of this initial free promotion. We order $150 worth of cards and other stuff each fortnight, either in pre-orders or for stock. I have a box of about 120 card-ographs in stock at anytime. My lovely wife keeps a very intricate and statistical ledger of all cards in stock, those sold and those on order. Clients choose from the gallery (telling me which ones they like via email, with the name of the artwork, the style they’d like it presented _card, laminate, etc and how many of each_), we order and receive, then we take it to the customer. About a two-week turn-around time. I’ve also purchased a dozen 12”x8” of the ‘prettier’ of our photographs on each of our galleries, which are easily viewed in an A3-portfolio. These are used to determine the appropriate frame and matte colour when clients choose them. Now that Christmas is gone, I can reveal that White Gums II was picked off my gallery by a work-friend’s mother here in Adelaide, I had it framed locally, and it now sits pride of place in their lounge room! I’m very proud of that!! From the corporate world through to the suburban billiards room, everyone wants a suitable image to hang on the wall. Because I have clients who prefer not to purchase online, I’ve made it my responsibility to acquire the final product and deliver it to their offices and homes. And this system works beautifully. (More about this in the next four weeks…) To parody and plagerise a famous quote: “Give someone a fish and they eat for a day, give them a camera with with a zoom lens, and they can shoot the most beautiful carp every day of the week!“
It’s amazing how many posters can be stuck to a telephone pole. you would never know it until you cut away a square section and paint a red dot on it. / “dot” was featured in the group Textures. “Dot” was featured in The Feature Fraternity

Macro photograph taken from a palm tree trunk! My passion is macro photography. I love to find art in the bark of trees and in rocks. Sometimes I find miniature landscapes or seascapes hidden there.
some of the NW England went to The Lowry Art Gallery in Salford, Manchester on Saturday 17th May. We were up on a balcony and I looked down and saw these people having their lunch in the Lowry Eating Area.
Astyanax Arroz de Festa Astyanax – named after one of the several nymphalid butterflies, Basilarchia astyanax, recognisable by its blackish wings spotted with red. / Arroz de festa comes from the portuguese noun meaning ‘social butterfly’. / Our Astyanax here (on the right) is a real people person, loves company (rarely seen without Absinth by her side) and never goes anywhere without her red spotted black boots! In this piece Astyanax, an emerging artist, is portrayed during her debut show “Polka dots and Stripes” / Showcasing some of her more contoversal art, Astyanax likes to incorporate polka dots and stripes into her paintings, questioning the social boundaries of the times. / Showing at The Gallery for Freaks and Trippas, a place she frequents often, and is owned and managed by one of her many friends, Astyanax has never been happier! (tho she is suspicious of the photographer! lol!) originals drawn with biro pen on A4 paper / coloured in ps with airbrush. thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment… / please have a look at my other artwork… / hope you enjoy! :) / Astyanax, Absinth and Azurite Verditer / Absinthe Verte / Azurite Verditer /

Also on the right can be seen the top of the Sage, Gateshead, a world renowned concert hall and the Baltic Contemporary Art Gallery can be seen above the centre of the Swing Bridge.

This extraordinary sculpture was aquired by the Qld Art Gallery Foundation earlier this year. I used one of my bendy lenses, this one made by my husband Scott, using the knowledge aquired by RanD from ArtBending and Matt Penfold. Between them they’ve come up with an amazing little piece of equipment that allows me to add my own touch to my digital imaging. My contribution to this piece of hardware was the carefully positioned black duct tape…. Canon 5D Mk II, Bendy lens at f/0, 1/100”, ISO 400
.....I knew that thou would’st come, for when at first / The dry wood burgeoned, and the sap of spring / Swelled in my green and tender bark or burst / To myriad multitudinous blossoming / Which mocked the midnight with its mimic moons / That did not dread the dawn, and first the thrushes’ rapturous / tunes…....

abstract digital art, a multi-layered coloured texture of vibrant colour that lie atop one another and across the picture field, creating a sense of depth by layering.
