This is probably a constant topic of my entries but again I find myself asking what is the difference between a photograph and art? Ignoring the very abstract and studio shots, how is one photograph artistic and not just another postcard shot? Any opinions?

It is my belief that the t-shirt aspect of RedBubble has not yet reached its potential. What t-shirt designers must remember is that here they are competing with a superior aesthetic quality in wall art. The photography and visual art which produces wall art is of a far superior quality aesthetic value than t-shirt designs. High resolution prints can be easily achieved by said artists, while t-shirt designs will always be of a lesser quality because of the material they are printed onto. Thus, trying to make t-shirt designs compete with the wall-art side of RedBubble in aesthetic value is too daunting a task to be overly successful. A picture produced for aesthetic quality is one which draws-in viewers because they simply ‘look good’ to them. It is here that there is a severe disadvantage in aesthetically pleasing pictures – their message, if any, goes totally unnoticed. People looking at pictures want only to be pleased, and so the people producing pictures choose only to produce pictures to please. This appears to be the basis of the wall art side of RedBubble. This is also where t-shirt designs should be utilising a strong advantage. Humans, although wanting to be pleased by beauty, also have brains – therefore they also wish to think. It is this wish for thought that will, eventually, see t-shirt designs being able to compete on a level with wall art in RedBubble. T-shirt designs must appeal to the thought and intelligence of people – filling the gap left by wall art – and propose, above all, a message. This message is achieved by an alienation effect. The alienation effect is where a viewer is forced to be distant from the aesthetics of the design, and instead looks upon the message being presented – thus filling the aforementioned thought void. A t-shirt design must, therefore, not aim to be above all aesthetically pleasing, but to propose a message. Simple pictures and wording, with little minor detail, and still some rough-edges will force any viewer not to look at a t-shirt design for it’s beauty. However, if the aforementioned aspects of designing are used to propose a message, a viewer will think about said message. If the message is strong enough, then the t-shirt design will be popular. T-shirts have the advantage of being a revolutionary tool. Anyone wanting to get out a message will sooner sport a t-shirt with the message than put a print on their wall, because more people would see the t-shirt, and thus the message. While wall art is used for personal satisfaction, a t-shirt design may be used to communicate a whole chain of thought; to propagate a message. It is in this way that t-shirt designs will become more popular, as more people appreciate the message they get out, and thus more people will want to get out said messages. I so conclude that t-shirt designs must not aim to trump wall art for aesthetic value, but instead alienate a viewer in order to present a message or thought. If t-shirt designers are to produce designs to be popular on the level that wall art is, then they should follow the guide of this journal entry, and so create a specific culture of thought and intelligence to surround the t-shirts of RedBubble.

i have been granted the permission to start my own group and here it is. / As much as i am a photographer i also loved to draw and paint the figure and felt that there was very few places and groups online to submit this type of art into. Therefore i have started a group JUST figure and faces that are approached through the use of media, such as paint , graphite, mixed media etc, original mediums. excluding photography. / its a new experience for me and i hope it will be successfull. / and i hope to see some of you there too.

Might do something with it, later. You know the saying “I may not know much about art, but I know what I like.”? Or something like that, anyway. Here’s the thought “I may not know much about art, but I know you people are off your damned rocker!” That was in relation to how surprised I am by what, of mine, people really go for. lol Only a joke, though. Here’s another thought from the other day, in regards to a man who doesn’t get female senses of humor but is a nice guy anyway: “Every clod has a silver lining.” Okay, not the best, but it did amuse me at the time, on both accounts. Off to cook steak! love you!

I’ve decided to move my drawings to another RB account where I can dedicate more space to them, including a separate Bubble-Site. I will be placing more artwork there besides the drawings as time goes by, but for now Richard Art will be dedicated to my series on The Essence.

Ragman has put together some journals covering some basics of doing it right when it comes to art/photography. Here are some of the excerpts from his up-coming book. Very worthwhile reading, for everyone, IMHO! I’ll add this to my list of handy tips and tricks, so it’s easy to find from my profile page.

Hello everyone, / Currently I participated in a group art exhibition at the local gallery amongst other 12 artists. The artist were to interpret the “Between The Line” theme and here is a little excerpt from the web: “Our news never tell us the whole truth. Our politicians veil their threats. Our friends are too polite with us. When we criticise, we choose the sweetest words. When we confess our feelings, we drop hints instead. So many things we don’t dare say aloud, or don’t know how to. Religion. Race. Politics. Sex. Desires. Love. So we are left to expressing ourselves in between the lines.” My theme for the artworks revolve around love and relationship and below are the results. Have a view and there are 2 more pieces left and waiting for their new owner :). For interested buyer, kindly contact me (i.itch.illustrations@gmail.com) for the price list and shipping arrangement. / Thank you and enjoy!
