  I had a little free time over the weekend and have been interested in experimenting with the RB tee shirt design. My first attempt was OK and received some positive feedback but my second attempt I am very happy with, it was one of those moments just like you see in the cartoons a light bulb came on over my head. I took the photograph entitled Barbed Tears and thought it was such a striking image that it could be used as the basis of an anti war symbol on a tee shirt. It took a few hours to translate it into the final design, I was unsure which one of two versions I had made and in the end put both up for sale. I am still buzzing about it and the only thing that could make the feeling better is to actually sell something!

  Hey everyone!! The wonderfully creative Jo O’Brien has just begun a chain of interviews to bring all of us closer to some of our favorite artists!! The first ball was given to MuscularTeeth who interviewed the famous Karin Taylor and Butchart. Karin then proceed to interview me and Mui-Ling !! What an honor!! Yay!! And so yesterday i’ve managed to interview Midori Furze!! am so so thankful that she’s willing to take the time to answer. Please do read her interview here!! =D Now presenting one of my favorite artist on RB, BarbBarcikKeith!!! / / ......................................................................................................................................................... My Creativity How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? You know, the first thing that popped into my head with this question is “don’t clean the house very much”!! I do what I have to do only.. nothing extra. The house still manages to get clean (with only 2 of us here, it’s not that hard!) though. / Actually, I don’t get out much. I have deadlines and things that I have to get done so I’m at the drawing board as often as possible. I do take breaks because my hands won’t allow me to stay at it as long as I would like to. BUT.. I am married to a man that does the wash.. cooks the meals.. does the shopping and even runs the vacuum every once in a while and THAT really helps a lot. He does hate my headphones though… Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful One person??? You must be mad! I’ve been on RB for about 8 months now and I don’t think I’ve ever met a more caring, considerate or complimentary group of people in my life! The encouragement is wonderful and the camaraderie and extremely helpful. I’ve recommended the Bubble to other artists on other sites as well and the ones that have actually joined have found it a lot like home… Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you / In no particular order: / The Letter by Roz McQuillan touched me with the way the painting is done just enough to let you know that something important is happening. Love the way she did it.. and find it inspiring in many ways. / Temptress by Lindseyh blew my mind the first time I saw it! I thought the execution exceptional but the idea of it all was just too cool.. (you sure I can only have five?) / Then there is Falcon Studies by eric shepherd is simply PERFECT! I love the way he put all if it together.. the colors, the background.. everything about it is inspiring.. / I Drew Drew by alleycatsgarden which is really superb pencil work and has given me a lot of ideas for future works. / Ruffled Gold by John Houle shows what you can do with a simple pencil. The way he did the feathers.. mind-blowing!! Now, I would like to mention some others that have equally inspired and awed me: Brian Towers, Carlos Solorza, Terry Dunnett, Matthew Thornburg, L.K. Southward, Randy Jones, Bec Winnel and I could go on forever but there’s only so much space. / Numerous artists, photographers have made a difference either in me or in my art. This is a great place to be!! / ......................................................................................................................................................... Thank you so so much, Barb!! Thank you for the honor. i really love your works! i’m especially touched by how you’re helping the Noah’s Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary.. and i really find you an inspiration because of how you can create such magical piece even with all the pain in your hands. it’s really encouraging. i believe anyone who’ve had RSI or is having one will be amazed to see how strong you are. Everyone, please do check out her wonderful drawings!! And do check out her shots and drawings of some of the Big Cats saved by Noah Ark, they’ll sure to blow you away !! So sorry i can only interview 2 person.. i have so many fav artist here on RB and i can only interview 2?! waaaa… T_T i can’t wait to read the interviews of the rest of you!! I think Jo will be coming up with some forum to gather all the wonderful interviews together. that’d be awesome eh? Love you all!!! (= ^ . ^ =)

  Its getting a bit boring here in the old house, even with this new laptop to toy around with. My boy toy is out of town for a week or so, and I have no one to go on adventures with. I have to remember when I was single and go do things on my own. Its the hard part of having someone there all the time, realizing how much you miss them when they are gone. its a good thing though. And a tid bit of information. UGH. I am so mad that this company around my town is buying up all the land! I actually got into a heated conversation with a lady that I work with about it. Of course, this lady did not understand anything about what I was talking about, because she does not go hiking, she does not take pictures, she does not go for walks. But I DO! I like to go and hike down to the river, and go for walks…. now this company which I will leave unnamed, is buying up all the land and posting no tresspassing signs all over this town. Some of my favorite spots to take pictures are now covered with no tresspassing signs. It makes me mad that they are blocking this beautiful world off to people. It makes me furious that people ruin these spots by posting signs all over the place. And the barb wire fence is just a nuciance to get around (hehehe).... :) / The lady at my work told me that the reason they do this is because they do not want to get sued if someone drowns or gets hurt there. WELLLLLLLL….. if they have enough money to post no tresspassing signs over only god knows how many acres then they can afford to get sued. Don’t they know that if you tell people they can’t go there they will only want to go there more????? / UGH. Okay. I am done venting. / Christina
