Is the egg smiling too soon, did the chicken get a toe over the line? The debate continues… This all happened in the days before photo records and even this image found in God’s archives, is inconclusive :) I thought I’d try a different style with this one as I hadn’t really tried the “comic book” approach before. I discovered it was a lot of fun, so I may try this again if you, my esteemed friends, deem it worthy. :) I did the concept sketch on the train into Sydney on my way to collect my pics from the “Dark Side” exhibition. Wanna Chicken or Egg tie? :) /

Not too sure really. Are you are creationist of a follower of Darwin? Or maybe a new age person, in which case our advanced brothers created the chicken in the “Living Designs Section” and then added the reproductive plan. In which case the design of the chicken came first followed by its means of reproduction. QED the Chicken wins :) Ah well it is late on Sunday evening :) Cheers friends This creation started life as a pencil sketch, conceived and completed on a train journey.

The 21st Century has arrived. We have said ‘sorry’ to our indigenous population. There’s talk of a republic. So here’s my suggestion for a new flag. An INTERIM flag for using on the way to the great republic that shall unite all brothers – regardless of colour, origins or sexual preferences. It’s not the ultimate australian flag. It’s an interim one. Which means we could have it for the next 100 years. Assuming anyone anywhere liked it enough to even think of using it. I just thought it time to throw something in the mix…. Do not be shy. Break the rules and comment your opinions – good or bad. I invite honest comment and debate.

Bubble Essay #1: The Irony Of The Democratization Of Art

It’s been stated many times by the founders of Redbubble that they seek to democratize art by allowing everyone to have a gallery of their work on display for public view, with the ability for it to be purchased in various high quality media. An ongoing debate has been occurring since the nascent days of the site regarding quality, and the large amount of uploads that are perceived as lacking in artistic merit. I used to be concerned about this, but have slowly let go of the idea that this is a site that is about ‘meritorious’ art (despite the flourishing debates), and more to do with the idea of participatory community focused around creative activity. I’d like to address the idea of ‘online community’ and it’s contradictions in a future essay, but for now will acknowledge that this community is the ‘front end’ sustained by the ‘back end’ business of print-on-demand. Not an uncommon contemporary business model; one that links the participatory capabilities of ‘Web 2.0’ with a physical business. I’m not implying that there is a cynicism in doing this however, its just one manifestation of the positive (if problematic) use of capital in the social sphere. One idea that has occurred to me lately, and one that is only too evident as Redbubble grows and evolves, is the great irony of the democratization of art: that universal freedom of expression is important to increase the chances of great art occurring, but it also allows the unskilled, the inarticulate and the unimaginative free reign to express themselves. To some, creative expression is merely the documentation of their surroundings, to others it is as much as possible a subjective interpretation using whatever objective means they have mastered. To put it bluntly, democratization leads at one and the same time to greatness and mediocrity, and the thing that defines greatness is it’s rarity among mediocrity, forcing us to think harder about the nature of art itself. / / I don’t for one moment support the idea of an artistic elite, this is impossible to define, but more the idea that mediocrity is the sea on which greatness floats, and maybe we have to begrudgingly accept that cultural evolution involves a certain volume of mediocrity.

This has been inspired by the writing of Suzanne German About the use of Children as Art Objects entitled ‘A CHILD’S VOICE’ As I read I saw this image. I have managed to get it down in digital form. It was too important to let it go so at 2.45 am I have finished and am uploading now. All work on this site is being sold for the Phoenix appeal. / This will be for as long as is needed. / I live in Englad now but lived in Australia for ten years, / while growing up and have family out there. / They are safe.

As a graphic designer, I believe this statement to be true. Others may not agree – and that’s where this t-shirt can ‘kick off’ a healthy debate in the studio.

. / .. / ... Sic transit gloria mundi Sic transit gloria mundi is a Latin phrase that means “Thus passes the glory of the world”. It has been interpreted as “Worldly things are fleeting.” It is possibly an adaptation of a phrase in Thomas à Kempis’s work The Imitation of Christ: “O quam cito transit gloria mundi” (“How quickly the glory of the world passes away”). The phrase played a part in the ritual of papal coronation ceremonies until 1963. As the newly chosen pope proceeded from the sacristy of St. Peter’s Basilica in his sedia gestatoria, the procession stopped three times. On each occasion a papal master of ceremonies would fall to his knees before the pope, holding a silver or brass reed bearing a piece of smoldering tow. For three times in succession, as the cloth burned away, he would say in a loud and mournful voice, “Sancte Pater, sic transit gloria mundi!” (“Holy Father, so passes worldly glory!”) These words, thus addressed to the pope, served as a reminder of the transitory nature of life and earthly honors. The stafflike instrument used in the aforementioned ceremony is known as a “sic transit gloria mundi”, named for the master of ceremonies’ words. . / .. / ... Too SAD that It’s Misinterpreted as “We are Heavenbound, Let the Earth pass away.” anything LEFT? ... / .. / .

This pseudo HDR shot of Barack Obama, talking to the press, was taken shortly after the Democratic Debates held at Drake University on August 19, 2007. This is one of thousands I shot during the presidential race. It was shot through a window of a local Des Moines sandwich shop. To get through the glare of the window, I had to press my lens hood against the glass to get the shot. This image will be displayed only temporarily to see how it is received by the art community.

We’ve all known people who would argue with a wall, but always go into every debate unarmed for battle (i.e. nothing in the skull). Well…when I saw this on the eve of a mausoleum in a cemetery in Detroit, Michigan…those people were the first I thought of! / Real pain to get the right angle for the shot…sun wasn’t in the best of places…. —-—-—-—-—-— Nikon D90 / Sigma 70-200, 2.8
