What Makes You Think Your Art is Good Enough?

What makes you think your art is good enough to upload to RedBubble? 1 Gut instinct? / This is the best way to know if your art, writing, or photography is good. For photographers, we simply know when the shot matches what we were trying to achieve. For writers, it’s when we write from the heart. For artists, and I mean people who manipulate binary-pixels as much as I mean painters etc, I imagine you know when your art has reached its point where it cannot be modified any further without ruining it. That’s right, ruining the final result. / Gut instinct tells you when you have just reached that pinnacle and achieved the art you imagined in the first place or saw through the view-finder. 2 Did someone in your family like the shot? / Trust me, I know from bad experience that relying on the opinion of family (to tell me what makes a GREAT shot) is never a good idea. As much as they believe in your artwork, they cannot see through your eyes. / I only upload a few distinctly better shots to RedBubble out of every few hundred. I might shoot between twenty and a hundred photographs from the one location, but I know almost immediately if it was a good shot or not. On occasion I only have to take one shot to get THAT shot, the one that gets shown to you, my friends and my family. What makes you think your art is good enough to have printed? 1. You received 1,000 ‘Oh, Nice!’ Comments ? / Nope, this is not a good enough reason. Your art needs to be an extension of who you are. Despite what you see here on RedBubble, your art should not be a popularity contest, nor a multitude of ‘nice’ comments. Much as I enjoy getting a few nice words about my work, I’ve recently learned that unless the person actually says something constructive, unique and interesting about the actual photograph … the comment may just be a stock answer to everything they see here. NOTE: OK, so sometimes it can be difficult to put into words what you like about some one else’s art, but at least say something unique. Yes, my photography of flowers have DOF, POV, macro-detail, lots of colour and are ‘hot’, ‘cool’, ‘wow’, and ‘whippitycrack’. Now tell me WHY you like it, WHAT it is that makes it good and HOW many you are going to purchase! :D 2. Only you can know if your art is worth selling on RedBubble. / Do you think someone would purchase it as a card? Or are you just showing off an image that you want others to consider before you commit to it? Ok, so we all do that occasionally. I’m not saying it’s wrong to upload the incomplete and unfinished, but this is RedBubble. It’s not just a community, forum and friend-making location: It’s an online print-shop. 3. Don’t be concerned with anyone’s opinion before presentation. / Upload those few shots you really believe capture what you were attempting. If you really believe the art is good, show it to the RedBubble world the whole internet. Because everyone online and offline is now going to see you and your art. RedBubble is a name, not a fortified location. Our comments, words, suggestions, responses, queries and ‘drool’ will be carbon copied across the planet and archived on the “WWW” Today I shot 5GIG of photographs in 5 hours. / I had a day in the Adelaide CBD, revisiting previous locations, visiting a few new places and discovering new things at each location that I did not see the first time! This added up to around 1,000 photographs. / ... I’ll be the first to admit that less than 200 are any good. / ... Less than 60 are very good. / ... I’ve uploaded only TWO of them to RedBubble. I might add a few more. / ... SEVEN have been loaded to my flickr gallery . All are getting lots of traffic, with very few comments. Just the way I like it. Each of those photographs got some pixel-manipulation. Yes, I do, when necessary. Each of those photographs were one of a several exactly the same … but I decided that one would serve the purpose I was looking for. / I didn’t ask anyone on RedBubble or Flickr if they would like to see it : I made that decision while perusing them on my 500GIG HD. A lot were shot purely because I like architecture, but many were shot because I figured they’d look good as a card or framed image. One of them is a test-image, to see the response/traffic rate. See if you can pick it. 4. Would you delete or replace a photograph if enough people said they didn’t like it? / Seeing as how so many of us rely on the comments of others to fulfill our online life, IF someone was to suggest a fault, change, modification or complete make-over of your art work, would you? I believe I might change an image. I have certainly changed my opinion on pixel-manipulation! I know I’d delete an image, but only from the RedBubble-database. I’ve done that several times. Where’s your thoughts on this? You’ll notice I rarely make comments on other people’s art. There is a LOT of great work on RedBubble. I just don’t have the time to tell you. Anyhow, you know your work is good. Or you would never have taken the time to put it on RedBubble …. right?

Courage… What it takes to stand up and speak and also what it takes to sit down and listen… by anonymous (he wrote an awful lot, that fella!). I like the last bit best – probably the hardest to do too! / This was taken back in 1983, using negs. I scanned the neg and then did some touching up with photoshop (reminded me of the old print process, touch up the dust and other bits!). I also added the words because they weren’t in the sky at the time! / I hope this inspires people to either stand up or sit down, whichever is relevant! I’ll sit down now!

This phrase has been in my head for twenty plus years. It’s original form was ” Save The Planet, Kill Yourself…” However, I thought this kinder form more appropriate for the bubble. I actually saw someone had produced bumper stickers of this (no artwork) about 12 years ago. Sam Dantone

Apologies for the crap photo. Not sure what got into me when I painted this. I had a blinding headache and with each daub of paint it got worse and worse…and the painting got more and more strange.The entire background was filled with tiny coloured dots and looking at it was making my vision blurry….which is why I painted out the background with this very dull beige colour…that was my way of trying to turn down the volume of the pounding in my head. Interestingly, as soon as I signed it, my headache disappeared. medium: acrylic paint on stretched canvas size: 50cm x 70cm currently listening to: / Gabriel Yared – Like A Bird On The Way To Montreal / – from one of my favourite films of all time, Map of a Human Heart .... Please, please, please get this film out on DVD. If it doesn’t fill up your heart…..well…... Here is a review by Siskel & Ebert ... What does this have to do with my painting? So much….its hard to explain. I saw this film when it was released in ‘93. Perth girl in Melbourne for the first time, I was 29 and nursing a broken heart. My friends, Sue and Julie, had been taking me out every night of the week for approximately two months…when shopping in the city one afternoon, I saw a poster for the film and was struck by the title. Map of a Human Heart......hmmmm…I thought…....that’s quite a concept. I wondered whether the film could deliver such a promise. Thinking back on it now, I see that I wanted to escape into someone else’s life for a couple of hours. What happened was…I saw the…. magnificence ... the enormous, open landscape of my own life that I had only just begun. I wanted one day to look back on the story of my own life…and for it to be interesting and beautiful and poignant ....and for that to be the case, then there had to be heartbreak and pain….and although embarking on each new love affair carried the certain promise of anguish at some point…..a life without love would not be much of a story at all. I’m gonna stop writing now. I could easily bang out 3000 words if I had the time. I may come back to this later.

we’re losing one another / you and i / fading day by day / in the fog of complacency / in the wake of miscommunication / budding excitement fades / with every assumption made / every “taken for granted” task / once insignificant / now deafening in its destructive strength / i watch us drift apart / grain by grain / like the tides separating the sea from the sands / i listen to the silent resentment / festering below the surface of what should be love / the current pulling me beneath the glassy mirror / of helplessness / drowning me in sorrow / suffocating me / rather than keeping me buoyant on life’s waves / once fun to jump / now just pounding wrath into the stormy eye of my heart / i feel our departure / soul to soul / heart to heart / fear creeping in more days than not / knowing this is how people lose one another / yet paralysed / and unable to stop it
