  • Little girl dashing past me in Zanzibar.

  • I couldn’t go past these gorgeous blue doors without taking a shot. Found in the back streets of Asnieres sur Seine, Paris, France. This image was chosen to represent Red Bubble in the Sept 07 issue of Australian Photography,

  • Original painting was done in acrylic on stretched canvas, with slight texture. If you look close enough, you might be able to see the traces of a scar….:)

  • ...Is a great woman. Or, in this case, four. I originally made this t-shirt (a satire on the Experimental Jetset tee, “John& Paul& Ringo& George.”) with iron-on letters, as some kind of “f-ck you” to the tiresome musical snobs who fawn over male deities like The Beatles and forget the numerous women in rock – and also as an in-joke between my partner and I, who both always say “Yoko was the best Beatle”. So many people asked me where I got the tee that I decided to make a finished version for you lovely RedBubble types. And no, it’s not Helvetica, but just like we don’t really need another t-shirt glorifying The Beatles, do we really need to let Helvetica get any more out of control than it already is? ;-)

    RedBubble is very deliberately trying to cultivate a ‘play nice’ mentality. The reasoning behind this is that we want RedBubble to be an encouraging environment. As I wrote about a few days ago we think that everyone’s inherently creative and we want to foster an environment that draws out this creativity. And it’s working. We’ve received a number of e-mails from RedBubblers writing about how they have rediscovered their creative passion because of the interactions they have on RedBubble. Don’t underestimate the power of the positive comments you make! For those of you who want more than encouragement – fear not we have options for you – and there are more options to come. We have a critique forum that we’re encouraging people to use for constructive criticism. And we’re planning to build a ‘learning centre’ to help people to develop their creative skills. (Incidentally – the reason for separating out the critique forum from general comments on a work is that not everyone is ready for constructive criticism. We think exposure to criticism should be an opt in process – and must be quite carefully managed. Things can quickly get out of hand in interactions over the Internet – as we don’t have all the non-verbal cues that moderate our behaviour in face-to-face interactions. So criticism must be carefully managed). And finally, we think that creating a positive and encouraging environment in RedBubble doesn’t equate with accepting mediocrity or avoiding improvement. Rather we aim for RedBubble to be a place to encourage and inspire development. My first job after university was with the Army, where people would often be shouted into improvement – well let me just say that RedBubble is NOT like this! Everyone will develop / learn / change at their own pace – when they’re ready. As always – your comments and views are welcome … - Peter

  • An evening where I headed to the mountains for a walk hoping to catch some lightning and instead was blessed with a spectacular display of color from the setting sun. A lone stump left exposed by the receding waters of Rimrock Lake caught my attention. Not a lot of light left but a lot of color for sure.

  • FUSIONartPHOTOGRAPHY.com Feature Artist for the GROUP:EXPERIMENTAL PHOTOGRAPHY and EDITING Feature Artist for the GROUP:EXPERIMENTAL So much can and should be said about women. Every woman in the world must make a difference. We must continue to educate ourselves/everyday we must set a new challenge. Women are the backbone of the family/we also have a right to an education/a right to dignity. I have always struggled with the wonder of how women juggle their busy lives and not sure what the answer is. We will always be responsible for bringing children into the world/be always concerned but even with babe in arms and out of the work force /whatever age/we have an important role to play/we are an integral cog in the wheel/we must continue to make a difference…...read ….read/educate online/involve ourselves in community/council/politics/ business. Gaining knowledge is like climbing Fuji san….....start out with nothing but hopes and dreams in your heart /half way up the mountain you will look back and think how did I ever do this/but every step of learning is a mind growing more powerful. Then the responsiblity is to use this power/knowledge gained in a way to benefit our world. Nothing is impossible and everything possible if we work together. When I create I have no one in mind particularly so please do not take offence. It is just that everywhere I go I meet amazing women and always my mind is filled with questions. /

  • Taken at Toseland in Cambridgeshire late afternoon, it was a beautiful day.. Behind The Trees.. /

  • One day they will learn to take photo’s…..

  • Fart is most commonly used in reference to flatulence. The immediate roots are in the Middle English words ferten; which is akin to the Old High German word “ferzan” meaning ‘to break wind’. Fart is sometimes used as a nonspecific derogatory epithet, often to refer to ‘an irritating or foolish person’, and potentially an elderly person, described as an ‘old fart’.

  • Lego recreation of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s 1932 photograph “Behind the Gare Saint Lazare”

  • WILD & FREE / / Polar Bear mum and cubs resting on an ice floe. / A bit cold on your bum if you ask me!! / / The sea ice is shrinking at an alarming rate, which has a huge impact for the bears as this is their main hunting ground. More and more bears are being found to have drowned while trying to find the ice, even though they can swim up to sixty miles or so! / / I hope the ice does not completely vanish and that they always have somewhere to hut! / / (Spitzbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /

  • Photoshop/Elements Tutorial Series - Digital Art process

    UPDATE Thurs Oct 8: New video, below. “How to…Showcase Your Art in a Virtual Room”. I will continue to add new tutorial links to THIS, one journal. As I add photoshop tutorials, they will go here. That way you can just favorite this one journal. From now on, new journals will simply let you know that this one has been updated with a new tutorial. Although, I am categorizing the series as a “how to”; it is based on a new artwork, the direction of which I have no idea what it will be. So it’s also a live journal of my process in creating THIS particular digital artwork. Many Digital Artists on Red Bubble need no guidance whatsoever. You know who you are. ;) This series does not assume anyone’s knowledge or skill level with tools of the trade. If you have just about any version of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or even Gimp, you should be able to just get started working on an image. Tutorials run from 4-5 minutes, maximum. How to erase and blend objects. For Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or similar photo editing programs. Erasing is the most basic, and possibly the most critical skill of digital artists working with photo-manipulation. Photoshop Digital Art – How to Erase and Blend Objects   Sometimes, using low resolution stock or image files for objects in large artworks is unavoidable. Here’s how to fix the ugly pixelation that would otherwise be noticeable in digital art at full size. Photoshop Digital Art – Dipixelating Low Resolution Objects   How to add and blend Cat Hair without special brushes. For Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or similar photo editing programs that include a smudge tool. Photoshop Digital Art – Add and Blend Cat Hair   Help prospective buyers visualize your art in their home or office building by showing it in a virtual setting. This tutorial shows how to use licensed stock photos of interiors, and place your framed art on the wall! Novice level tutorial for Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, GIMP, or similar image editing program. Photoshop Digital Art – Showcase Your Art in a Virtual Room   You will note how I have a BUNCH of objects laying around, seemingly willy nilly, on this rather large psd canvas (9000×6000 pixels). It’s untitled, and I only vaguely know where it’s going, at the moment, even three (3) tutorials into the series, so far. / Some facts: about 15 or so objects are laying around on the canvas I started out with 17, that are shown in the video. The image below is after more erasing was done and 2 objects were nixed. Guess which ones. objects are sized to approximately what they might eventually be I may or may not use any or all of these objects I will erase carefully around each, regardless if they will be used; unless I determine that I don’t like them. Once any object is perfectly cleared of its background, it will go into an “objects.psd” file; so I can use it in some other image, any time. Objects are generally placed close to where I think they may end up. I have already placed the background I have already done some work on the main figure and her mirror. The window has already been transformed (perspective) and placed about where I want it. Importantly, I have just received, before uploading this tutorial, permission that I needed from one stock provider who doesn’t allow use of her stock off of DA or in commercial-type works, without express permission. That allows me freedom to continue this series, as intended and upload to YouTube. Stock permission is critical to my work. If you watch the tutorial, you’ll note the rolling credits at the end. This tutorial focuses only on the candelabra and shows it at 200% scale the entire tutorial. There may be easier ways to do this. But I don’t take “easy” when precision is required. Plus PSE does not have all the tools of PS. ;) I’m working in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 for the Mac (currently the latest for the Mac.) It is different from 1.0, which I worked in for over a decade, as I discovered just a week or so ago; in that it imports abr (Adobe brush files), has a photo bin/viewer at its base, and does NOT have the fabulous Airbrush eraser from version 1. Otherwise, the differences are almost purely user interface. This note is added to satsify the curious. :) Bmail me or ask questions here, if you like. You can rate, comment, and subscribe to my channel (“francorpier”) at YouTube. Thanks. ;) Frannie
