  • A Painting by : Shree & Ami(my wife) / Wonderful Words by : Sally Omar Well this is a moment of a poor family waiting desperately together for their father who has still not returned after whole days work, where one kid is elder sister and standing behind another is younger son waiting and being impatient about their fathers uncertain returning issue back to their house. I specifically wanted to show their love, bond, respect, intimacy, curiocity, closeness, affection, feeling of insecurity, fear and a sense of worriedness, impatience and all sorts of wieard thoughts going on specially in the mind of the mother who desperately wants her husband to return back to home soon as its already too late and as both the children are hungry along with her, all of them waiting for their dad to acompany them at whatever food they have left with. Being mother of two little kids she cannot cry or show her sense of worry infront of kids but still she is infact so upset, so tensed and so curious for finding the reasons about not returning back of her husband till so late which she reflects throught her eyes and facial expressions along with managing her kids by giving them assurance that he will comeback soon. My wife Ami helped me a lot specially for bringing those waiting expressions on the face for which i will always be grateful to her unmatched artistic skills. / All the artwork is given a sepia tone with charcoal to show the feel of my theme desperate – await, which i think goes well with the moment of impatience…enjoy. And lastly a special thanks to Sally who did a marvellous job within no time giving a touch of liveliness to these waiting family with her wonderful words.

  • Anguish
    by Archan Nair

    US$4.99–US$114.00

    Ive never tried something like this before. Never an artwork emotionally so intense. Would love to thank sandra baraci for the wonderful collab. She has been painting the stunning image of `tracie76 portrait for a while now, which she abandoned in the middle. I really wanted to complete it in my form, and I did. / She says she found the motivation back again to finish the canvas, which is an honour . Thankyou both of you for the wonderful experience.

  • desperate housewife
    by grayscaleberlin

    US$5.98–US$136.80

    first i thought about getting a hotel room for that shooting, but the only one i liked was in the hilton, and unfortunaly they wanted 400€ for for a night, and there was no way like renting it for an hour or two (and the be honest, with 400 bucks i will buy a new lens, or a decent scanner, or a light meter, or other creepy stuff ^^) / So i decided to go over and ask my neigbouhr I i could use her rooms for a small shooting :) / And it worked, it was the first shooting with my new medium format camera.. damm! i messed it up pretty much, but the model is a good friend of mine so we have a laugh about the mess (and some digital pictures as compensation) Thursday the colour negativ film will be developed, and this evening i will develop the black&white film on my own (and hope i will get acess to a scanner this week). But back to this photograph ;) And for anyone who is thinking about buying it 60% of the money will go straight to lilli, the model.

  • Breakthrough
    by StacyLee

    US$4.99–US$114.00

    When hard times hit, you have to pray for a breakthrough. This image is my prayer for a breakthrough and perhaps it will become your prayer, too. Thank you Ruthie for your encouragement. Though the fig tree may not blossom, / Nor fruit be on the vines; / Though the labor of the olive may fail, / And the fields yield no food; / Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, / And there be no herd in the stalls— / Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, / I will joy in the God of my salvation. / -Habakkuk 3:17-18 Digital Mixed Media

  • desperately seeking greedy - a collaboration
    by bellmusker

    So this is what happens when Melbourne bubblers get together for a pre-xmas dinner: amongst green tea and white wine, and quivering balls…

    So this is what happens when Melbourne bubblers get together for a pre-xmas dinner: amongst green tea and white wine, and quivering balls of octopus flesh, we fell into a passionate table thumping debate about the seven deadly sins and their role in our lives. For each of us with an ardent connection to a particular sin, there was another with a distinct aversion to it. The merits and downsides of each were analysed and debated (this is where the table thumping came in – seaweed salad almost went flying), and to our surprise there were greatly differing opinions and various semantic interpretations. Isn’t lust also passion for your creative desires? If so, how does that relate to the Buddhist treatise that desire is the root of suffering (don’t get me started on this one!)? Surely pride links to wrath, and what’s the difference between revenge and retaliation? Is sloth always a sin, and surely there’s room for gluttony? This arose as the delectable black sesame icecream arrived, and the dueling of the spoons began :-) During this discussion we revealed layers of ourselves to our beloved friends with honesty, trust and recognition, and at the end of the night we realised with a start that the six of us each laid claim to an individual sin. Except one. Which is where YOU come in. We’ve decided to do a collaboration of the Seven Deadly Sins. Each of us will write of our particular sin, whichever way we interpret it, and upload it on New Year’s Eve. I’ve wrestled with wrath for much of my life, as my lovingly detailed Medusa tattoo attests, and this is my challenge. Jessica Tremp will take envy, Yasemin Sumner knows pride, Lucky Vegetable will write of gluttony, Michael Alesich will write of sloth, and Sheamus D will take lust. And if you know your sins…and I think you do….you’ll know what’s missing is greed. If greed is a sin you wrestle with, write a piece relating to it and tag it with sevensinscomp, and upload it on New Year’s Eve (maximum 1000 words). We’ll decide on the entry we feel fits best, and we’ll personally take the winner out to dinner and invite them to be guest of honour at the next Melbourne writers’ meeting. If you’re not a Melbourne local, feel free to still enter – Red Bubble has offered as a prize either a copy of In The Moment or Gaia , which will be posted out to you. The offer of dinner will still stand, and might inspire you to plan a trip to Melbourne – just think of the table thumping and black sesame icecream opportunities available with fellow Red Bubblers in our beautiful city! There are often collaborations between photographers, so this is a way for the writers to connect and get ideas flowing. If you don’t feel up to writing a piece about it, feel free to leave your thoughts below on the sins that pertain to your life …sometimes when you get ideas flowing, the piece writes itself. So get your thinking glasses on and start writing….. There will be wine….. There will be laughter….. There will be always be words to play with….. So come to our table….and bring your greed with you!

  • Desperate Times
    by Jef Harris

    US$5.98–US$136.80

    One night, very late at night, I felt an old urge return to me. An urge to paint. So I put on a pot of tea and set about to paint till the early morning hours. As the tea was heating up I realized, oh wait! I had not paint and no canvas! Opps. So I grabbed the back of a board I found on the street and all the unused and almost empty jars and tubs of paint I had and just went crazy. / The texture on this print is incredible. Large view a must!
