Red Bubble’s First Book /// In the Moment /// Overall Winner / I found myself in Geneva for a week for work last year. The only other time I had been to Switzerland was Zurich for 2 nights in the middle of winter, so I was kind of surprised by the beautiful (and hot!) summer weather I experienced on this visit. / The Lake at Geneva is where everyone goes to cool off and I was mesmerised watching all these crazy dudes doing amazing things off a high-dive on the edge of the lake. I took a few shots and managed to capture this moment among them. / I entered this work into the 2007 Linden Gallery Post Card Show in St.Kilda, and was absolutely stoked to have been awarded one of the six entries to be reproduced as postcards and sold through the gallery.
This guy was pretty cool, sitting there minding his own business, and I just had to get the shot. But as I lifted the camera and looked through the lens he just broke into this mean stare into the lens like he was gonna hurt me. I saw it and quickly pressed the shutter. Later I complimented him on his tattoos and showed him the shot and it was then that his frown turned into a broad grin…phew!

I saw it in a vision. I suppose you could also say it’s my subconscious viewpoint on on life, mankind, nature and our current economic situation. Fate later connected me with Peter Oszmann and his succinct poem, it was like our work was destined for eachother’s” – Carrie Glenn “A Fish Out Of Water” / Poem by Peter. J. Oszmann Nature is wise, but Mankind… just bumbling fools. Learn from the living, watch water in motion, Don’t waste your time staring at small stagnant pools. Fish are content to live their life in water, Water is after all their life’s element. There’s no need for them to be an “achiever,” Living, staying alive… that’s accomplishment. But there was one fish wanting something “better”, He wanted “achievement,” he wanted a “first.” He leapt out of water, fins in quick flutter, Taking fast to the sky… but soon died of thirst… / / Peter.

Work exhibited in the Visual Arts Association Group Exhibition ‘Four Seasons’, held Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld. / The exhibition theme was inspired by the Vivaldi’s music ‘The Four Seasons’. Mixed media – archival black ink, acrylic, collage – paper painted, mono & screen-printed, drawing, photo; screen-printed cotton fabric, carpet material; on canvas. Background: I had been working individually on art compositions relative to my passion to interpret music, rhythm, movement and energy through the use of formal visual art elements ie. line, colour, tone, shape, texture and art media. The interpretation of any music requires one’s senses to hear and feel, absorb sound and energies, to internalize and contemplate, as apposed to recording information seen/perceived through the eyes from the physical ‘outer’ world. One has to create and interpret a visionary abstract, from a pure transitional and spiritual sensual state, from one’s own internal environment, the knowledge, understanding and experience one brings to canvas for the moments of manifestation. I jumped at the chance when this exhibition theme came up. Also I am much inspired by Kandinsky and his work, a long time favourite art philosopher and mentor. ....................................... /

/ Detail of design: / / I photographed my own hand doing the peace sign with my iphone, cut around it with the marquee tool in Photoshop and created this little peace tee design.
/ Get the TShirt Tears from Heaven / / The Peacock Empress is a drawing created a couple of days ago, while at the surgery with my daughter, i had a vision of it which impressed strongly in my mind, and i was able to draw it once I got home. The idea was the Empress was rising up over the waters. There’s lots of symbolism in this, but it’s purely for my own benefit and the viewer may decide how the symbolism relates to them…the colour has been done in Photoshop. She has almost taken on the look of an oriental style “Luna Park” entrance at twilight, might be a nice design for those who celebrate “Chinese New Year” and/or collectors of asian inspired/related art
/ / Little Cleopatra is a drawing .. I’ve used a few different pencils, lead and coloured, as well as charcoal, and some coloured marker pens, along with black marker pen and black ink to colour in the large hair area. I’ve also coloured much of this digitally. /
/ Antique Kisses – a pencil drawing on textured paper, coloured digitally – a nice alternative card for the Christmas season and all other occasions / / The Golden Elephant another of my big eyed girl paintings
/ \ a pencil drawing 3 hours – digitally coloured 7 hours / total time taken to create 12 hours Related songs: / Boats and Birds (Gregory and the Hawk) / To the Moon and Back (Savage Garden) / Drops of Jupiter (Train) / Bright Eyes (Art Garfunkel) /
BEST VIEWED LARGE / \ / My last upload for a little while, here she is the Music Box Dancer from a drawing, digitally coloured. The words in the background are my own handwriting as I wanted the emphasis to be on sending out postive message for little girls and big girls: shine SHINE Shine, be giving, LOVE yourself, love OTHERS, dance your way through LIFE, you are beautiful, be joyous, you are LOVED, sing your SONG, your heart is free, be glad, trust, HOPE, live, LOVE, BELIEVE, shine your light the message is twofold….for little girls, very simply it’s sending a clear message of positive reinforcement, were it to be something they have in their room or receive for a birthday, i just wanted to give them a boost and a reminder to love themselves and live life to the full. To go with that line of thinking I’ve included the beautiful Music Box Dancer video on youtube by The Wiggles with a video of a little girl, a bit like this one, dancing….and The Wiggles, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Captain Feathersword are all there too for your viewing and listening pleasure. do you remember the music box dancer in your music box…? you would open up the box, and there she was, she would pop up as you lifted the lid…in her little tutu, pirouetting round and round to the sound of the ‘music box dancer’ or some other pretty tune, she kept guard over all your hidden treasures in the jewellery box, I’ve tried to recreate the look and feel of that little icon here with her white tulle tutu skirt beneath, princess-style sleeves and golden hand-beaded bodice and pretty golden string of pearls she is both young and innocent, wide eyed…but also older and wiser, so that I hope she would appeal to girls of every age and in every stage of life the other side of the coin, I want to encourage grown up girls who have struggled and find life hard going at times, as a reminder that they are beautiful, that one can develop and nurture resilience and strength through everyday focus and meditation on positive messages and looking for the good in life…even if it’s only miniscule, it can grow… and to go with that line of thought, i have included a link to Missy Higgins song, which I love so much called Sugar Cane which is about the baby ballerina that lives inside us the year was 1972 and just for fun here’s a pic of me when i was 7 and just tiny tot at ballet (i’d been going since I was 4 years old..our first review I was in “The Fairy Around the Christmas tree and we wore a white singlet with little white scarves all sewn into it to make the skirt and of course a little halo of silver tinsel about the head lol) we looked like baby elephants, so ungraceful, but all the mums and dads and we ourselves thought we were very wonderful! which one am I? ... the littlest one on the far right at the back…that’s me….one of the other girls is my best friend (from childhood) we’ve lost touch now…i won’t give her name, but she was/played Amy the Bear in Bananas in Pyjamas for a few years.. she and her sister were magic dancers and always got the lead roles, i was forever in obscurity, in their shadow….and even here…although the smallest of the lot…there i be, right in the back…where I’m most comfortable :) and one more for the road…can you believe this is me!! lol ..and i must mention that my mum painted the pegboard behind me there, and we’d hang our toys from it to tidy up…using golf tees in the holes as pegs…so innovative and clever she is…full of ‘making do with whatever we had’ kind of ideas… /

The generosity and support that artists on RedBubble show each other is something that makes the community unique. We encourage each other by leaving positive and meaningful comments, favouriting works and adding artists to our watchlists. Some bubblers also do an incredible job of spreading the word about other artists through newsletters, interviews, journals, by maintaining blogs and other through activities. Many group hosts in particular are tireless in providing opportunities and exposure for others. Take a look at some of these examples: Inside Solo Inside Solo is a magazine featuring members of the Solo Exhibition group. F.A. Moore and team produce the weekly magazine and it includes news, features and articles and celebrates the achievements of group members. Past issues of Inside Solo are available here. Earthmonster Illustrated Magazine Editor Mark (aka earthmonster) produces Earthmonster Illustrated, a monthly e-magazine showcasing RedBubble talent. They’re packed full of interviews, tips and tricks, artist features and spots from guest contributers. If you’d like more information about the magazine, head over to the Earthmonster Group. Group Newsletters: A number of hard working hosts also produce regular group newsletters, including: Painters in Modern Times International Heroes of Drawing, Illustration and World Domination Photo Manipulation Geelong Throng Tee HQ Group Projects and Opportunities: In 2008, the Melbourne and Victoria group organised a group exhibition at Rialto Towers. Both The International Superheroes of Drawing, Illustration and World Domination and the Flash Fiction groups recently put together books featuring works from group members. Earlier in 2009, the Australian Travel Photography and Writing group organised a competition giving the winner a chance to be featured in Australian Travel Magazine. The Ruby Tuesdays meet regularly to share ideas and collaborate on photoshoots. The Game of Kings are a group of designers who have worked closely together to produce a series of works and an accompanying story. / Danny and Barbara Glatzeder show off recent group projects, plus the Game of Kings and The Ruby Tuesdays collaborations These are just a few examples of the types of projects that we know take a lot of energy and effort to organise so we’d like to thank the group hosts and artists who work so tirelessly to provide opportunities to raise the profiles of others. / / / Images by EileenLangsley, pdandrews, jan lakey © Passionate Pixels, and Wendi Donaldson We wholeheartedly encourage the sharing of works and the promotion of other artists when done in a positive and respectful way. These types of activities reflect the values behind RedBubble. They give artists the opportunity to have their work seen by more people and they provide well deserved encouragement and acknowledgement. A few tips when promoting other artists: Use small thumbnails rather than larger previews unless you have permission. Images larger than small thumbnails should have attribution (at least the artist name). Always link back to the works. There’s some info on creating image and text links here. Include some commentary. Let us know what you love about the artist or the work. If you have time, drop the artist a quick bubblemail to let them know. For more info see our guidance on featuring in journals and forums Does your group have a regular newsletter? Have you been involved in a group project? Perhaps you’re planning something for the new year or maybe you’d like to thank your group host. If so, please feel free to let us know in the comments below.
