  We all have artists on our watchlist that we think are wonderful, but who may not get the recognition they deserve or their work just gets passed by in the influx of daily work here on Redbubble. I would like to form a journal entry here that serves the purpose of bringing awareness and traffic to these underappreciated artists, so my proposal is that anyone who wished to come into this journal and post 1 or 2 links to artists on their watchlists whom they absolutely adore. This idea was originally begun by JULIE LANGFORD so please be sure to visit her journal HERE too for more amazing work! Also feel free to link to their images as well, and try not to repeat the same artists as have already been mentioned and promoted. This way we can get the word out about so many of these tremendous hidden talents here at Redbubble. I have two artists I would now like to introduce to you that I have on my watchlist: David Linkenauger and Shelley Spillenaar David is one of my fellow home state photographers and takes really nice waterscape images, and Shelley in my mmind has a wonderful eye and a keen sense of capturing the right moment with animals. Please go take a look at the wonderful work of these two artists, and if you like what you see be sure to tell them so and maybe even add them to your watchlist! Also, be sure to scan your own watchlist for someone who you think deserves more attention than they are currently getting in the world of Redbubble! Let’s make this a huge success!

• Interview with Randy Monteith

  I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to do the interview on the very talented Randy Monteith Thanks so much for your time Randy ! Randy is an amazing artist , who does artwork in such a way , it actually hurts my head trying to imagine HOW he does it , truly a master at his craft , incredibly talented and gifted ! In addition to being an amazing artist , Randy also co-hosts the group How to Redbubble and somehow also finds the time to churn out very detailed journals on how to do someof the amazing work he does ! I could go on and on with Randy’s many accomplishments ( art showings, awards , interviews with magazines !!) Seriously , the guy is like Digital Superman !! Make sure you check out all his work , you won’t be disappointed ! Now, on with the interview …..... How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? For me being creative is an outlet. Its like I have this energy that needs to be put to work and when I get an idea for a new image it drives me. Sometimes to the point where I will work on it to the wee hours of the morning and still have to get up at 6:30 am to go to work. I get distracted at work cause an idea comes to me and I start thinking about how I can make it come to fruition. After winning a place in Redbubble’s GAIA book , people start to sense that there is a little bit more to what I am doing. I presently have four pieces of artwork in the local Definitely Superior Art Gallery and one of them Fury of the Fallen impressed one lady so much that when she did finally get ahold of me she told me that every second word she said was a swear word, when she first saw the image. I then asked her ” Is that good?” She laughed and said this piece was going to be the only peice hanging in her new house’s living room. Its allways nice to know your artwork is going to a good home. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful Well I sold my first piece of artwork as a Canvas print on the 6th day I was on here. / Many people on Redbubble have made my time on here both special and meaningful, to name a few Yvonne ( RavenSoul), Heather Rivet, Ravenor, Darren Sharp, hahpistuff, Danny, Aloramyst, clarkey, Meach, many more whose names escape me at the time of this interview. All those that commented on my work and fav’d it and parted with their hard earned money and bought some of it. Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you. / Stranger in Black by Imber / This image haunts me every time I look at it. Its amazing in so many ways / / Heaven for Everyone / ForbiddenWhispers aka Anna – does such amazing 3D work she is someone I look up and hope I can achieve this level one day. / / Child’s Play – Darren Burdell / Love the colouring and the look of the little girl ! Great work! / / Wake Up Call – Shanina Conway / Love this , its an amazing piece of 3D work and she is a master! / / Summer Solstice – Heather Rivet / What more can be said , Heather has a passion for photography and helping other artists . She got up in the wee hours of the morning to capture this! Thanks again Randy for your time , and your talent !

  I have a cousin called Steve Walters, who lives in British Columbia, Canada. For ages now I have been nagging Steve to join Redbubble to display his wood carvings. He’s a modest person and doesn’t know if his work would be suitable for Redbubble, so I’ve decided to give him a little push by showing a selection of his carvings to see what sort of reception they do get. The first one shows Steve himself, which will give you an idea of the scale of his work. Tell him to join Redbubble! There now .. bet you agree with me they are fantastic.

• Sincere, Sarcastic, David Librach Reminds Us Why His Is Bigger than Ours, the US Leaves Canada Be, and Birthmarks Are More Relevant than Base Talent
  by Final Form Fallen Angel

  This, the second of what will be a nice set of interviews with each of the Admins, had me writing oddly half-joking questions. The subject of the interview made a point of wondering how come he was not before Jo on my list of those to question (they hold the same job title), and so I made sure to give him extra questions to make up for my not superimposing his ego upon my own free will earlier this week. Shame on me. Over looking his megalomania, to my pleasant surprise the responses were even funnier than mine were questionably insulting… No reading ahead, but the answer to question four brought from me the first true belly-breaking, I am earnestly happy and amused laugh I’ve had in years. Also, be sure to take note of his double spacing between sentences, and occasional lessons on why our RB Forums, etc, often mark words as incorrectly spelled, when they are not spelled wrong at all. On with the show… 1. Who were you again? / The real question is who are you? Me? I’m just here to spew out carbon dioxide so that our trees can live. / (Incidentally, we are both wrong, unless I think he’s dead, and he thinks emphasizing the wrong words when making a point of it helps us any) 2. Ahem, so, David, was it? I noticed when I released my last interview, you seemed a bit jealous at having not had first go… have you always needed to be center of attention, or is this something which comes with age and 48 hour shifts? Perhaps a disorder from childhood? Anyone would find it difficult to follow in the footsteps of my esteemed colleague, Jo. However, it’s more likely due to a childhood disorder and on being the youngest sibling and always being referred to as ‘the brother’ and never as my own person. Probably why I like speaking up for the little guys and always route for the underdogs. 3. Nova Scotia… it amazes me just how spread out this RB crew is… I had to get a special program for my computer which displays the time in all the places I select so as to know when each of you rascally Admins will be around… how did you first get involved with RedBubble? After all, while it’s nice and warm in Australia, you live in a cold barren tundra which only gets sunlight once a month… how do you interact with the human species so well? A am literally a two hour boat ride in the Atlantic from being on the complete geological opposite side of the world from the head office. This definitely has some disadvantages, but the internet has made the world a smaller place and the warmth that much closer. There are a lot of misconceptions about the land I live in, but the truth isn’t nearly as exciting as the perception. Now if you’ll excuse me a moment, I have to go shovel the snow off of the satellite atop my igloo as my internet connection is slowing down… As to how I got involved with the site? Well, my wife was away for 8 months doing research in the bowels of Nicaragua and RedBubble became my mistress. It was love at first sight and our relationship grew stronger everyday. Thankfully my wife has returned and has allowed me to continue with this double life. 4. Are you thick skinned or a softy when it comes to being picked on by American Southerners who pick on those they respect? / A Softy? Me? A Canadian? I should remind our southern neighbours (yes, that’s the correct spelling) that we are the only country to have successfully invaded and burned down your capital. So no, I do not fear you or your words. 5. Right, well enough about the blanket you had as a child, I’d like to move on to your work. If I’m not mistaken you’re a photographer by birthright, and not only a point-and-clicker, but an “I’ve got a high powered lenser.” You’re a little bit the geek of the camera equipment world, and I just wanted to know if you were a player or the Dungeon Master back in high-school… Birthright? I don’t know. Birthmark? Maybe. It was just over three years ago that I discovered that a camera could be used for anything other than taking pictures of drunken nights at the bar. This new discovery has enlightened me and yes, has fed my passion for all things geeky. Dungeon Master…player…does it matter? Either way, my lens is still bigger than yours. 6. Here’s a tough one I get from people about you all the time: I quote, “David is one of the greatest guys I know, but his sense of humor is horrible. It rivals Peter’s, and that’s more than any woman can handle!” / Peter just had his first child, and is happily married… you have a wife, and a dog… my question is, where did so many others go wrong, and how would you help them lead normal lives? As a good friend likes to remind me, a happy wife is a happy life! Do as you’re told and remember you can never be right. Oh, and don’t eat yellow snow. 7.Indoor plants, or outdoor rock gardens? The / Rock Garden of course. 8. Left hand or right hand? Left eyed and right handed. I’ll let you figure out how that works. 9. You do wedding photography, and while I’ve been to a wedding I don’t remember it very well because of the pre-pre-wedding festivities. I hear though that they tend to be a mixture of crazy and clean… now, this won’t effect business because you’re good at what you do regardless, but doesn’t the overkill of joy you have to focus on make you a bit ill at times? Wouldn’t you rather just be photographing the bridesmaid puking in the guest bathroom, or the best man making out with the father of the groom? To quote Charles Dickens’ words about weddings… ‘Twas the best of times and the worst of times…’ (at least that is as far as I got in the book before I fell asleep and just assumed it was about weddings). Seriously though, there is something about a wedding day that brings out all the emotions that humans have to offer. My camera is simply an excuse to get me in ‘behind the ropes’ (and maybe even get a few images to use for extortion purposes and financial gain later on in life) . Given the choice though, I would put it all down and be a fly on the wall instead and just observe and study the chaos within. We are an interesting species to say the least and weddings are the perfect environment to study us in. 10. Ok, so I’ve been having some fun with you so far, but I do want to ask a couple serious questions. For instance, the end of your description on RedBubble quotes “The best way to find out about me though is not through my words, but rather through my images.” This is surely true, but the words preempting these nearly final ones would beg to differ. You are a deep conversationalist, at least on paper, and with how easily photography and literature cross translate, I’d imagine you’ve done some writing. Have you? If not, why? Ah…more childhood skeletons. English and Literature were my least favourite (again the correct spelling) subjects and I literally flunked out of them in school. Was always much more of a math and logic kinda guy. Hence the need for order symmetry within my art. However I’ve tried to bury the demons of my formal years of education and have rediscovered the world of art including that of the written word. Alas, I ain’t no writer and I do not play one on TV…I am simply a photographer. 11. Your final words are, “This is how I see the world and this is who I am.” I find these words very well put, and the soul behind them brilliant, but I WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE. What’s with the white manikin avatar picture from your work “Silenced”? Significance, or whim? RedBubble was the first community I met that accepted me solely based off of my art. Not because of what I looked liked, or where I went to school, or who my friends and family are or even because of my third eye on my right elbow. I simply wanted my art to speak for itself. In due time I imagine all will be revealed. 12. Finally, I’ve noticed you have a number of little galleries across the internet, but many of them are empty. No follow through, or no time? Perhaps you simply forget they exist like I do all my former networking sites? I was a lost soul, a nomad searching for an adventure in a new land, leaving a trail of sweets to find my way back home if I became too afraid to continue on. Last August I discovered my destination…RedBubble. I have no need to go back and pick up the candies anymore. 13. Oh, right, I lied, I have to bring back a classic: Your favorite meal is sitting before you… it is comprised of three things. What are they (and remember, no gasses… or ether, or the theoretical plasma either)? The sophisticated gent in me would want a nice spinach salad sprinkled with warm goat cheese and a raspberry vinaigrette followed by a medium-rare rack of lamb with a dijon mustard demi-glaze accompanied by an old world Syrah…but only if someone else is paying. On my dime nothing can beat a plate of nachos, a bucket of suicide chicken wings and a pint of Keiths. ____ Next Up: Pilgrim. I must say I am extremely excited to see what he has to say. After all, out of all of us Jesters and Fools, he keeps King Bubble’s head firmly planted in sage reason… Oh, right, Pilgrim, if you read this, I’m interviewing you next. :) Gordon

  I have not been online much the past two months and I have missed a lot. It’s been a rough winter and so busy for me as well. But things are looking much brighter now. My illness has started to finally recede into the hell from whence it comes, for the time being and I am feeling better. I finally won my fight with the government and got my entitlement to my Canada Pension Disability benefits. They back paid me for two years so I was able to go out and buy a nice used convertible for the summer and I am so looking forward to putting the top down and cruising through the fresh mountain air! / I should be able to purchase a better camera and equipment soon so I can get better at this photography thing, as the bug has bitten me good, and I so look forward to getting out into the surrounding countryside to see what I can find. / Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to write and inquire as to my well being.You are all so much appreciated and you brighten my day. I will try in the next few weeks to catch up with each and every one of you and view all your wonderful new works of art.
