  This is based on my experience working at markets and in “painting and sculpture” galleries. I have heard of exclusively photographic galleries (collaborative- not just for a single photographer) which are an easier market but I am yet to find one in Melbourne. DISCLAIMER: The opinions presented in this journal are not a substitute for professional advice and are based on analogical evidence Things that I have found help to sell photography are: / 1) Taking a strikingly lucky, creative and one off image that others would struggle to replicate / 2) Presenting your photos in an original way / 3) Providing support material to the seller about the image and yourself / 4) Signing the image and providing info on the back / 5) Having a variety of photos available for sale / 6) Only having one copy of each image on display Things I have found detract from selling photography / 1) Inferior or unsuitable framing or packaging / 2) You are selling a whole bunch of your images and most of them look similar- or more so, look like you took them all on the same day / 3) No information about the image is available / 4) No image about the photographer is available / 5) I hate to say it but photographers with birthdates in the 1980s should consider omitting this information from their biography because youth = inexperience in the minds of some buyers. The exception seems to be works using a lot of photomanipulation. / 6) Damaged prints or packaging / 7) And it might have seemed the most obvious point but images that are not interesting, or that do not fufil a decorative need There are many ways of presentaion your images including: / 1) Loose prints or posters / 2) Matted prints (and whether to sign the image or the mat) / 3) Canvas Prints / 4) Framed Prints / 5) Putting your images on other products (tastefully) Generally speaking, bad presentation will doom the sale of even the most amazing photograph and that the more creative and unusual your presentation, the more attention you and your work will recieve. Who has some other tips?

  Another update to the site this morning. A lot of work in the backend to help deal with this rapidly growing community but with few new features to keep everybody happy: / Canvas prints have been added. For now they are canvas mounted on board. We have decided to leave it the artists to decide which works they want to sell in this form. If you want to sell canvas prints you will need to update your portfolio accordingly. / An automatic email signature. This is a random image strip of your portfolio such as this one from Paul’s work. It is still a work in progress and Xavier has explained here what it is all about. / / More sharpening of the small images.

  Dear all. The gift we would like to create in memory of Axel Moore, and in support of the family of a large canvas print of this photo / / taken by Bill Fonseca can now be made. thank you all for your generosity. It is warmly received. Redbubble will contact people individually and facilitate through paypal. / ___________ update 31.12.07 Paypal donations. There are a number of unexpected expenses the family has incurred due to the event, such as the Careflight helicopter coming out, and time off work. These things put an added pressure on a family at times such as these. I have looked into paypal, and it seems it is easy to do if you have the email address, which is family@origoblue.com.au and sign up to paypal here All ways of contributing to the family are greatly appreciated, and really make a difference to their lives. It is a really positive way to help someone when you’re not sure ‘what you can do”-here another way. Thank you all for your generosity. ____________ Nothing will bring Axel back, however, the memory of the community support is the glue that binds us to this earth and each other. The ceremony today was an inspiration to the human spirit. It was touching, it was real and the love people offer just by their presence, I’m sure will help console the family in the smallest of ways in this huge time of change. I know so many people would like to do something ‘real’ to help. If this is you, please feel free to contribute in this way now. kind regards to all. xsunset

  Oh My Jellybean! What a wonderful suprise to wake up to this morning! Let me tell you, the words that flew out of my mouth when I saw that I had sold a canvas print of “Idyllic” were not fit for polite company! It is such an incredible buzz! Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the greatest gift an amatuer photographer can get. Knowing that someone believes in their work, and admires it enough to want it hanging on their wall. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! And while I am here, I also need to thank the person who bought framed prints of “Indigo” and “Weathered” last week. I didnt realise at the time that it was ok for me to acknowledge sales here… but now that I have… THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! As my first ever sales these two prints will always hold a special place in my heart… likewise the buyer. Also a HUGE thankyou has to go to REDBUBBLE for making this possible. This site has been an inspiration that defies words. Now… does someone have a long enough rope to reach me up here on cloud nine? I’m going to need to come down sooner or later and well… I’m a little afraid of heights ;)

  Here is the full text which I scratched into the background of the painting featured here at Red Bubble titled “Talking to the Muses about Art”. / These are my own words and thoughts.. a tone poem if you will..

Paint on through reality & exageration. / Paint on through infatuation & interpretation . Paint on through motivation & passion. Paint on through responsibility & deadline. Paint on through key & contrast . / Paint on, Paint on, Paint on. Paint on through expectation & surprise. Paint on through 3AM & exhaustion . Paint on through exhilaration & dissapointment . Paint on through misunderstanding & enlightenment. Paint on through stereotype & label . Paint on through collage & memory. Paint on through spontaneity & laboured thought . / Paint on through ignorance & envy. Paint on through music & silence. Paint on through the sound of brushwork & the smell of linseed oil . Paint on through circus, canvas & colour . Paint on through age & beauty. Paint on through influence & originality. Paint on through Modigliani & Miles. / Paint on through blank canvas & empty palette. / Paint on through exhibition & inhibition. / Just paint on. -Leith O’Malley

  Ok, so I’ve been busy today after all of you tolerating a sleepless night and influx of old work on RB. Anyway, after yelling at my friend for ringing me at 11:30am – she doesnt’ understand the hours we artists keep I got started on my painting for the Prestigious Cossack Award… which is in about 10 days time. So, here are the first stages, nothing to rave about yet, let’s hope this artwork develops accordingly! Cheers for now, / Carmen / . / The painting in stage 1 … ok, so I have done an hours work and you think it looks lousy…hehe! Stage 2…3…4… your choice… about 7 layers have been added. Now it’s starting to get somewhere. Still have 3 days of work till salvation (I hope)! / Ok guys, so lets see, its taken at least another 3 days to get this far. Do you realize how many layers of paitn that is. I’ve deliberately shot this in the worst light (sadly the same light I work in) and won’t be posting the final version till I can properly photograph it in the light of day that I hope the judges will view it in. I’m entering this into the “Painting, Northe West Landscape, Oil or Acrylic, Rio Tinto” Category. If any of you are familiar with the Cossack award and can recommend a better category form me please speak now or forever hold your piece/peace!

  MIGALOOMAGIC is my new concept gallery at Red Bubble…below are the very first offerings! My Definition of Magic / Adjective – Wonderful, amazing or incredible, ie as in ‘a magic moment’ I think it’s very important to define magic, as for some people this is a stumbling block and something that conjures up images of black magic, darkness, and other practices which i don’t subscribe to… for the record I’m a christian who doesn’t head to sunday services each week, although i have spent most of my life doing that, it’s not where I am at this stage of the journey….and I’m not a perfect one by any means, I’m quite an unusual one by christian standards, and many feel i don’t meet the standards, but that’s ok…God and I are like this :D we’re tight, so it doesn’t matter what others think on that score…and I guess it’s unusual for me to use the word ‘magic’ when ‘magic practices’ are forbidden in the bible… but it is the where I am coming from that matters to God…He knows I don’t mean it in that way…so already, i apologise to any who may find it offensive or inconsistent, but I intend to keep the name as to me it only implies magic in this case as “wonderful, amazing or incredible, as in a magic moment”. / migaloo-pink-magic / / migaloo-blue-magic / migaloo-in-antarctica / little-lost-orca / rainbow-orcas / little-lost-orca tshirt / Moo Cow Sunrise / Little Moo I’ve been busy with a new concept…. / I wanted to bring parents something special to help them connect with their children… / I am busy creating a series of digital wall art, especially for children…for their bedrooms. My new gallery on Red Bubble is called migaloomagic / So far, I have created six conceptual pieces of art over there….but I am excited to show you anyway!! This is a gallery which I hope will provide gifts for children, for their bedrooms, for their birthdays…...I hope that it will bring parents closer to their children by helping them remember to tell their children stories, you know – the old fashioned kind of stories….the ones you just make up on the spot…..

  LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS *BY RL HALL AND LINAJI...

  LIES PERCEPTIONS AND BELIEFS BY RL HALL AND LINAJI A collaboration of loving work between rlhall & linaji – Webs & Layers Your Spiritual side is wise, intuitive, creative, loving, compassionate, peaceful, forgiving, always aspiring to truth and goodness – or – your life is lived in confusion, anger, and perhaps, even, layers of lies and deceit.” ~ Dr. John Sarno, The Divided Mind “If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?” / ~ Dogen “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~ Antoine Saint-Exupéry “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” ~ William Blake _“Believe that your life is worth living, and your belief will create the fact.” ~ William James Acceptance ~ Robert Frost When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud / And goes down burning into the gulf below, / No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud / At what has happened. Birds, at least must know / It is the change to darkness in the sky. / Murmuring something quiet in her breast, / One bird begins to close a faded eye; / Or overtaken too far from his nest, / Hurrying low above the grove, some waif / Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. / At most he thinks or twitters softly, ‘Safe! / Now let the night be dark for all of me. / Let the night be too dark for me to see / Into the future. Let what will be, be.’_ _Layers of Beliefs I have unfurled my wisdom / And before me / I only know / Truths / That have been born and branded / By my hand / How can it be any other way? I have heard and have been told / Of / About / Yours… / But My core is the listener / The one who knew before the knowing / Or of the Telling We are parted now.. / maybe for 4 years or 10 / Maybe it is not again But the knowing you / Was like a root plant / Better left in the shade of its’ own calling Than to open to the sun of my smile / Or yours. Past Lives are just that, / Past.. The Now that pulsates and thrives Has been dropped from view.. It is no longer about you Time for a new lesson Time for a new view._ Thank You Everyone, espically RL Hall for linking into my heart and for setting up most of this show.. her finding the amazing quotes from our favorite poets and leaders made the core of our work shine!! What a pleasure this collaboration was between us!

  Hey everybody / I want to appologize for not being around lately, haven’t been commenting or posting or replying etc. Life got crazy for a bit, total chaos and my laptop blew…...so I’m working on getting back while also trying to get my home life under control and learn a couple new programs. It’s been a wild ride but I’m hoping to get back in here full throttle very shortly. / Thank you to all of you who have continued to come in and say hello on my photos even though I’ve not returned the favor lately. You are all such amazing beautiful people. group hug I also wanted to let you know that I managed a few moments earlier today to go through my portfolio and get everything marked for sale as canvas and cards as well as the others that were already marked. So maybe with the new cards and the fact that they are so inexpensive…..who knows!! Maybe I’ll just make my first sale here on RedBubble. whoo hoo won’t that be amazing!!! :) Again, thank you for your patience and friendships. / Rain
