• Cathie Tranent Talks Creativity
  by Jo O'Brien

  Questions by Jo O’Brien / ^Answers by Cathie Tranent...

  Questions by Jo O’Brien / Answers by Cathie Tranent How does being a creative person and pursuing your creativity affect other aspects of your life? As a part time wage slave and full time wife and mother, I find the pursuit of my “artistic” side gives me some “Cathie” time, that I might not necessarily have taken otherwise. I have always been an “average” person, average grades, sporting non performer, and to find something that people tell me I’m good at is a real boost to self!! I am being very careful to make sure that the thronging masses are cared for, fed, watered and wearing clean clothes, but I can assure you that my housework standards have slipped a little since the advent of my RB addiction. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on redbubble particularly special or meaningful Only one? There have been so many amazing moments … my first sale to someone I didn’t know, the inspiration and fun I have shared with so many people, meeting on-line friends in person for the very first time … making new friends almost every day. Show & tell us about five works on redbubble that have moved or inspired you The first one would have to be Danny’s Binalong Avenue. I think it touches a chord in all our memories, of Christmases past, and family scattered. Absolutely anything from Incognita. Again – a little bit of Cog in all of us I think. TBO’s Geishas. All of them – traditionally beautiful, yet somehow modern and empowered. I can’t split the next two – so they’ll just have to be 4a and 4b. / No Frills Art and Ruby Red have shown me that having a social conscience and making people aware of the big issues doesn’t have to mean standing on a street corner with a sign. The Pen is Mightier than the Sword 3 / Rhinobra I’m also amazed at the rate at which this pair upload quality thought provoking work. And last, but by no means least, the other most inspiring people on this site would have to be the people who started this amazing Redbubble thing, the Helvetica Cliche- . Not only for having the vision, but for employing the right people to help it grow, teethe and grow some more. (And besides that – they still find time to make art themselves!!) Keep an eye on Cathie’s Journal. She’ll be posting a survey like this too soon. I wonder who she’ll interview?

  For my featured page, I’ve used one of my favourite ways to look around Redbubble, started with one tag, (in this case, spirit) which lead me to another and then something different and so on. I soon noticed a pattern forming in the work I was drawn to – richly textured pictures, blurring the line between photography and drawing – not genre specific but just a feast for the eyes. This journey has certainly added a few new artists to my watchlist – I hope you find something here you like too! Cathie Tranent

  I had the absolute pleasure of shooting Cathy Cavolo’s band on Saturday. We spent a while trudging through alleys in Kensington playing dress-ups, and later on, I shot the band performing at Hardimans Pub. They are a fun outfit, and definitely recommended for that crazy party you may have coming up. Since Cathy has yet to see any of my photos, these are a teaser for her as well ;) / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Blatant Advertisement: / I am available for hire – mail me :)

  Yesterday I was privileged to meet the delightful Cathie on a whirlwind weekend trip to Melbourne. Melbourne came to the party with some beautiful winter sunshine and we set off to also meet up with the lovely Anne van Alkemade / / First we got the kiwi jokes out of the way while passing this spunk rat. Mr Cranky Pants was not impressed. Then Kylie passed by to say hi :) There was remnants of last nights dinner…. And this gorgeous lass. Then this guy showed up from Circuside and I over heard the littleun in bottom corner say “I don’t care how big your sword is, you aint getting my popcorn” Shame I missed the part when he said, “okay maybe you can”, it was when I took this one, I think? Or maybe this one… No,no I think this one. There was some lunch music. Always under the watchful eye of this guy, I’m not sure I trust him…. But most importantly, 3 people came together, whom without their creative sharing on redbubble, where their friendships were made, their paths may never had crossed. What a day, thanks girls. :)) Cheers / Cathrynxx

• The Madcap and Imaginative World of Cathy Cavolo!
  by Patricia Montgomery

  As a member of RB’s Share The Love mission, this is the 3rd in a series of interviews to introduce you to another talented artist. Only on Redbubble could a small-town farm girl/photographer (me) from the U.S. meet another photographer at the opposite end of the planet in Melbourne, Australia! Cathy Cavolo was one of the first people I added to my watch list. As I browsed her gallery, I was immediately drawn to the vibrant colors of her seaside images, Little Boxes and Wild Sea (click on the images to see the larger views). Being new to the Redbubble world, I was a bit nervous as I sent a bubblemail to Cathy expressing my admiration for her work. However, she responded immediately with a gracious reply that set me at ease. She was one of my first contacts at RB and could not have set a more pleasant example of the community spirit. Her wonderful images reflect her perspective on the world. These are only a few examples but I encourage you to take a few minutes look at all of her works. My first inkling that Cathy also had a musical spirit was in her superb still life, Sax ‘n Boots …and later with Time to Sing. I recently discovered a mapcap side to Cathy. Not only a talented photographer, she is also a member of a five-piece all-girls band, The Party Girls, who play songs from the 80’s and dress up outrageously. Cathy plays the keyboards and saxophone in the band. Although I don’t know Cathy very well, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her creative persona through her splendid images and her zany side as I laughed my way through 50 Things… in her journal. Even though her answers were short, they were often hilarious and she carried you along in a “story“ that ended with a witty punch line at the last question. It is not to be missed! NOW IT IS TIME TO MEET CATHY CAVOLO. What drew you here to the Redbubble community? I was reading a forum on another photography website and somebody had written a remark saying how much better RedBubble was. So I came over to check it out and have never been back since. Soon after, I discovered the Melbourne & Victoria Group and started meeting real people in the real world who shared my love for F-stops, white balance, composition and all things photography. The combination of meeting these special people and the ability to connect with an ever growing community of online photographers had me hooked! How does your creativity affect other aspects of your life? It’s something I’ve had to balance with my family life. I have two little kids (2 & 3 years) who take up most of my time, but somehow I manage to squeeze photography into my daily life. It is such a joy to photograph them, so my camera usually accompanies us to the park or anywhere else we may go. I am also a musician and find it very satisfying to be able to explore both audio and visual worlds as part of my creative outlet. How many mediums do you work in? Which is your favorite, and why? Mostly photography, with some Photoshop work. I write songs as well, am a bit of a closet poet and also do some drawing when time permits…..which is not often! What subjects do you enjoy the most in your work? Ooh, that’s a hard one. I particularly love street photography and macro, but my favourite subject is people. I never tire of trying to capture expressions, emotions, character and the essence of a person through an image. Visually, I particularly enjoy symmetry, contrast, irony, tones and an image that generates a feeling. Tell us about one person or moment that has made your time on Redbubble particularly special or meaningful. The first Redbubble outing I went on was to Kilcunda near Phillip Island. Tony Middleton organised it (and I was intrigued to see if there was any family connection, as my maiden name was Middleton). Alas, it seems we’re not directly related but his enthusiasm for the protection of this beautiful area of Victorian coastline was infectious and made the day thoroughly enjoyable. I had never been photographing with other people before and was surprised and delighted to find that they were a wonderful mix of creative, inspiring, knowledgeable and interesting personalities whose passion for photography was a joy to share. What three works or people on Redbubble have moved or inspired you? A profile – Malen I often look at her work for inspiration. Her delightful European style combines many of the important ingredients in creating a beautiful portrait – clarity, softness, expression, composition and emotion. A person – Mark German It has been great to meet someone who is so knowledgeable and so generous in the giving of that knowledge. I have been in ‘soak up information’ mode since I purchased my DSLR last Christmas, and Mark is always happy to ramble on about ISOs, exposure, metering and all those other tricky things that can make the difference between taking a snapshot and a quality photo. I doubt that Mark has ever said no to someone asking for advice or some of his time. A piece – Axel by kcranmer / / I stumbled across this piece and sat in front of the screen with tears rolling down my cheeks. Not only was this story incredibly moving, her portrayal of little Axel was so beautiful and sensitively done that I was moved beyond words. What goals do you have for your work outside of Redbubble? I feel like I have just come out of the starting blocks in my photographic journey. Although I have been interested since I was a child, it is only recently that I have started producing images that I am really proud of. I hope that the journey takes me to places I can’t even imagine yet and that I am able to capture amazing things along the way. I would like to make a living from photography in time, but most of all I would like to keep learning more and share the joy with as many people as possible.

  Well I went to the Nikon convention in London, I was impressed…Adobe was there!! Which brings me to the conclusion that we as photographers either want manipulation or dont, is it worth upgrading to the CS3 in the adobe PS of whatever you have, I personally have PS4… and as far as manipulation is concerned then it is down to artistic manouver…....
