  This week get yourself acquainted with Tabita / !http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/users/size:135…

  This week get yourself acquainted with Tabita / (And here she is in vector form…) / And here’s the strip! / Based on this little bad-ass… Ninja chicken / What happens when good animals go bad? I’m thinking evil zombie demon giraffes (I’ve had my share of freaky nightmares) but basically I think something just breaks in their mind and they turn evil. What’s your favouritest tshirt ever? One summer when I was about 8 I used to wear one of my dad’s t-shirts as a dress. I really loved it because it was so weird – it was red but said “Blue Marine” and even with my non-existing English skills I knew what blue meant and found it hilarious that the t-shirt wasn’t actually blue. Ah, yes, what a joy it was to be a little kid with no sense of anything. Anyway, if I had to pick a favourite t-shirt out of my wardrobe this very minute I wouldn’t be able to decide. It’s quite possible that I’d end up with one of my black H&M tees with some random graphic design on them just because they’re so nice to wear. What do you do when no-one’s looking? Everything else than tidying. Count all my shoes or stick things on my walls or draw random pictures. Or play The Sims 2. It’s my secret obsession, except it’s not so secret. But I don’t do it when people are looking. What are the simple things that tend to be overlooked these days? Things like grammar. We all know it’s there and have been taught how it works and yet some people decide to ignore it completely. When was the last time you cried with laughter? Hmm, possibly when I was on the phone with my best friend and we were talking about eagles. We laughed SO much! And yes, you totally had to be there :P How did you come across the bubble? What made you stick around? I randomly came across a link to someone’s profile when browsing around the Danish forum Tegnebordet.dk I’m a member of and thought “Hey, this looks nice! Why have I never seen it before, I’ve been looking for a place like this for ages!” (referring to the nice t-shirt making and the fact that it was international) so I decided to try it out for a bit, uploaded some work, made a t-shirt and stuff. On my second day I suddenly had three things featured on the homepage and people seemed to be like “Congrats!!” so I figured that maybe it wasn’t just something they did to new people. Also, on here everything seems so much more casual than on other art forums I’ve been on. On other sites I’ve seen people saying “If you don’t have anything constructive to say about my art, then don’t bother” while here you don’t need to say more than “Nice” for it to be a useful comment. I love that. Why does the world need creativity? It would be rather sad if there was no creativity whatsoever. Imagine how dull houses would look if they were all just huge blocks of concrete and how boring life would be without art and music and even interesting food. Clothes would also be boring and tv would be no use as a source of entertainment. Basically, everything would be missing the fun. What do you do better than anyone else in the world? Make lists of everything and anything. Dvds, shoes, things to bring on holiday, things not to bring on holiday, things I need to buy when I move out etc. I do it all the time so that must be the one thing I’m better at than anyone else :P Where’s the best place you’ve ever been? I’ll have to say Scotland because they have my boyfriend and Cadbury chocolate, what more could I possibly want? ;P Although I also loved Greenland’s icebergs and how the sun never set in Spitzbergen. However, it was very cold there, so yeah, Scotland it is. How do you see the next five years? For me as a person? Working, drawing, more drawing and going to uni to study digital art. Oh, yes, and moving country. For the world in general? Better computers. Surely you can’t get much better than those current giant screen macs? Mmmm… Macs Thanks Tabi! See you next week folks! :oD Caanan.

• Setting up a studio

  Hello :) I’m about to head down to the camera shop and say “hand over all of your photo shoot studio set up equipment or the dog get’s it”. Not really, I wouldn’t hurt animals, unless they’re a particularly plump chicken, but I have been known to drop a few lenses. Well one, but it rolled down the hill. Actually, now that I mention it, I’m looking for the paperwork for said lens to take in on account of the strange rattly noise. I just made that up Harvey Norman, in case you’re reading this. Serious. So I thought I’d better check in with my mentors (Wendy, Mel, Rose, Paul, Paul, and Paul, Deke, Dave, Shanghaiwu, Gemlenz, Sam, Ashley, Peter, Barbara) first before I sell our first born and maybe the second. Better wear a shortish dress. Kidding again. Not even. If it get’s me $500 off I’ll wear bells on my shortish dress. See, still kidding. It’s hard to tell though. If you saw me right now, You’d know I wouldn’t be caught dead in bells. Any advice on which equipment I need for a full set up? Thank you :) / www.cathleentarawhiti.co.nz

  A guiding principle behind RedBubble is being authentic – we started building this website because it’s something we want ourselves. We don’t hire anyone at RedBubble unless they are passionate about their own creative interests, and are committed to being active community members. As Pilgrim put it, “we’re not vegans making hamburgers”. So, when people ask how we got the community on RedBubble started …well, we started using it ourselves. Then we told our creative friends and before long we had our first 100 members mucking around on an early “sneak preview” version of RedBubble. This was back in December/January. So the classic “chicken and egg” problem (i.e “who’s going to visit if there’s nothing to see, but who’s going to upload work if there’s no-one visiting?”) was solved by us being our own first customers. As for how RedBubble expanded beyond that very early stage, well, that’s a story for another time…

  I moved out of home when I was 14 so I never really leaned how to cook. My partner and I tend to live on $6 Parma nights and $10 steak nights at the local pubs and supplement that with good and cheap Indian, Italian and Thai food from Lygon Street when we feel like we’ve been eating too much crap. I love it really, choosing somewhere, walking over, choosing from several meals what you feel like, telling someone how you like it so that they can cook it for you just right, eating it amongst other people, all the banter and talking about each other’s day, and then the best bit… handing someone a VISA card and leaving without having to clear a single plate or wash a single pot! Well recently due to budgetary constraints the ‘eating out 6 nights a week’ habit had to go and I have begun cooking. It was a shaky start with a few disappointments but the last few meals have been better than most of the stuff I order from restaurants. Right now I’ve got sweet and sour chicken in the oven and my kitchen smells divine! I would never consider myself the cooking type. I’ve been known to burn pasta, undercook meat, overcook everything else, mix the wrong things, leave things out, make 5 times what is required and many other problems. Maybe if I search somewhere deep inside myself there is a 1950s housewife waiting to emerge fully equipped with a floral apron and rolling pin?

  Hi Susan, / All my animals were free range on the farm. So if, for instance, I went to fix a fence in the top field I was followed by a crowd of my goats, ponies, chinese geese, chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and the cats. Oh and the odd seagull. They were all pretending that they were not actually following me of course. Thus occured our first meeting with Wayne and Shane in the next farms field.

• Of Beer-Can Chicken, Friends, and the Irish

  On the coast, I have friends who own a beach-house weekender. I’m a fairly frequent visitor and would be even more so if it weren’t for the fact that I have three kids and am married so that my arrival must by all reasonable measures constitute barging in, though my friends are, without fail, fabulous hosts and any sensitivity I have to the issue is purely of my own neurosis. All the same, I think it’s a respect worth holding on to as welcome mats can be worn and five people wear them out faster than one. But, whatever, yesterday was the same as any other occasion I’ve visited and I am slightly envious of the freewheeling life style these guys have carved out for themselves. / / It’s all pretty civilized, well at least I thought it was until Jim asked, “How’z about some beer-can chicken?” I didn’t really pay him much heed and the words beer can and chicken didn’t really jell with me. I immediately thought Cajun food and let it slide. As the evening progressed, between trips to the kitchen fridge, I noticed Jim massaging herbs and spices into a whole chicken and everything seemed quite normal. Jim to his credit is something of a gourmet; and his area of expertise is the BBQ, so in order to pursue his passion with a passion, he’s purchased at Costco possibly the mother of all BBQs. It stands majestically on the front porch and Jim can often be found standing behind it like a maestro tinkering the ivories on a grand piano; on which, he gives a grand performance every weekend. It was into the BBQ that the chicken disappeared. All was well with the world and I pursued conversation with Jim’s Thai wife and started to feel certain pangs of nostalgia for Thailand and the wonderful, ironic and teasing humor the Thais have. After an hour or so Jim returned to his position behind the barbie and though I wasn’t really affording him much attention, I had to make a double take as he, with all the trickery of David Copperfield, conjured a beer can out of the chicken’s arse- a Heinken beer can. My first impulse was to ask him if he was glad he’d found it ‘cause he’d been asking after where he’d put his beer only moments earlier. My second was a mixture of revulsion and curiosity. Jim explained that first you drink two thirds of the can then you add whatever seasoning you like to your backwash before, as my eyes hadn’t deceived me, you stick all this up a dead chicken’s bum, and roast. Now, I was further intrigued by the fact that Jim had an actual instrument for this that he’d picked up in the States. Yes, you guessed it: his very own beer-can chicken holder application device. Something he wasn’t unduly proud of. I for one felt some how honored to have just witnessed an aspect of American culinary culture that had eluded me for 45 years. And of the Irish, well all this got me thinking of something I’d read earlier that day on the beach about how in ancient Ireland it was considered an honor to be cannibalized by your tribe rather than just buried or left for the birds. Let’s bring that idea back; I think it’s quite a good one. However, now having seen how that gaping hole so dishonored that bird, I vote we never go for beer-can man. The chicken was delicious by the way.

  after spending days maybe weeks collecting Dahlia’s and hunting them down the season is nearing there end of blooming so I have one last picture to do once it freezes(thats to keep the petals stiff) and I think thats it for the year. At least on that type of flower,as you can see by what I have up loaded and on my web site…..http://web.mac.com/sevenoaks…... I really love flowers. They are so varied and so different even on the same plant that If I could make my living just traveling the world taking portraits of flowers and maybe insects that would be grand. Going to San Francisco next weekend for a wedding a friend of mine from High school some 30+ years ago is getting married. He is a pro in Washington DC noted for being one of the best on the east coast. Im jealous he and I went head to head in school as trying to one up each other looks like he won as far as news goes. / Funny how life turns out he went for the carrier and I for family and what ever would feed the sons at that time. but I wouldn’t trade it for nothing I have three fantastic sons a new wif that is my muse and two beautiful grand daughters so who is the winner ? I think we both are. wow it’s 4:30 here time for beer somewhere. Fried chicken tonight im cooking so if you see a large cloud over head you know it’s done.

  My baby learned a very hard lesson today. See, yesterday, we introduced him to his first taste of store-bought cinnamin sugar apple pie. He was in love. He shrieked for more. We tried not to let it get out of hand. Then today, I pulled a rotisserie chicken out of the fridge and he went ballistic. He was so excited! So, I go ahead and give him a piece. The…look…on…his…face. Such disillusionment. Chicken? Not pie? He chewed it grudgingly, but did not ask for a second piece. The poor little one. If only every plastic container held pie.

• Mrs Chicken Is A Rooster???

  Today was the day I finally set my devious plan for global domination into action… How you probably didn’t bother to ask? Well, as you are about to be informed, all revolutions must start off small, and this is about as small as I could come up with and fortunately the police are not even investigating (I think), so here it is… I kidnapped a rooster named Mrs Chicken from the savage clutches of a pair of evil lesbians. Once I was confident of the gender-confused fowl’s well-being, I then set about the task of plucking out the majority of it’s feathers with which I proceeded to tickle the feet of my donkey…or is it a moose, it doesn’t really matter. The moral of the story is that if I make shit up, and you read it you, there is a chance you might be mildy amused for a matter of seconds…and the chickens will remain unharmed

  Well a new adventure for me, something I haven’t tried before. / I am going to be promoting my business by having a booth at the local yearly show. / I have been organising all kinds of ‘stuff’ to highlight the products and hopefully gain bookings and interested women who want to join me in this business venture. It certainly is a first and it will be a pretty long haul too. Friday. Saturday and Sunday – long days from about 7am till 9pm. Sunday finishes at 5pm, and you can’t leave the showgrounds before then, because all the cattle, chickens, horses, baby lambs,goats, etc etc leave before us humans! :-) Tomorrow (Thursday) is set up day and then Friday morning the fun begins. / At least by midday tomorrow I will know what else I need to print off, bring with me, or won’t need. I’m off to bed early for a change! / My big weekend starts tomorrow…
