  Another update to the site this morning. A lot of work in the backend to help deal with this rapidly growing community but with few new features to keep everybody happy: / Canvas prints have been added. For now they are canvas mounted on board. We have decided to leave it the artists to decide which works they want to sell in this form. If you want to sell canvas prints you will need to update your portfolio accordingly. / An automatic email signature. This is a random image strip of your portfolio such as this one from Paul’s work. It is still a work in progress and Xavier has explained here what it is all about. / / More sharpening of the small images.

• Showing off your Calendars - Part II
  by John Barratt

  I recently added a journal entry on how to show off your calendars by embedding the individual preview images for the cover & each month here . Last Friday we released some new functionality to allow you to preview your calendar via a downloadable pdf file. This gives another way of being able to publically show your calendar, and potentially via different means. If like before, you go into mybubble -> calendars -> edit calendar -> buy/preview then you should now see a link below your preview image saying “You can download a reduced-quality PDF preview here”. Here is a link to my snow calendar as a PDF, the same one as in the previous journal article. This is a file of only a few MB that can be downloaded and saved or opened up in acrobat reader. Note that this is low quality preview only, it does not have the full detail of the final printed version. The idea here is it gives you a little more detail than the standard web preview, and allows for your whole calendar to be conveniently ‘shared’ in one file. So, you can copy that link (right click in your browser and select the appropriate option) and then do things like embed it in your journal entries, add it to emails, or put it on other websites as you would like. You could also attach the saved pdf to an email, and send it directly to an friends or family that may be interested in seeing/buying your calendar.

• Nasty Bubblemails

  I seem to get my share of creepy and nasty bubblemails and emails. Thankfully not all that often, but often enough. I have always used two tactics with such people. The first is to reply to them “I don’t think that was an appropriate email to send, but seeing as how you do, you won’t mind me publishing it with your email address on my profile.” While this works well as a scare tactic, it doesn’t prevent them from moving onto another victim. The other tactic is to report the offending bubblemail to redbubble using the link provided and let someone objective review it and act. Today I got an (in my opinion unprovoked) email that said: “You are so disgusting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” This is just the latest. I’ve had much worse: untalented, slut, idiot, you should be ashamed, f words, revolting… the list goes on. Heck, I’m the first to admit when I’ve pushed someone’s buttons wrong but I’m only quoting ‘out of the blue’ type mails here. Anyway… I’m on a tangent. My discussion questions are: What do you think is the best way to deal with people who bubblemail or email nasty things? Do people actually use the report button? And if not – why not? Any good ideas for how to tackle situations where people are not as lovely as they first appear? Where does this type of behavior become bullying or harrassment?

  A Sea view
  by Bootkneck

  Robin Hoods Bay Robin Hood’s Bay is a small fishing town or village located five miles south of Whitby on the coast of North Yorkshire, England. Bay Town, as it is known to the locals, is in the ancient parish of Fylingdales and in the wapentake of Whitby Strand.The town, which consists of a maze of tiny streets, has a tradition of smuggling, and there is reputed to be a network of subterranean passageways linking the houses. The main legitimate activity had always been fishing, but this started to decline in the late 19th century. These days most of its income comes from tourism. Robin Hood’s Bay is also famous for the large number of fossils which may be found on its beach.

  It takes a big man, to admit he's a painting!
  by Arletta

  Meet haplessdan, the too tall, motorcycle riding, wonder babe. Why wonder? Because he’s got brains as big as his legs are long, for one thing. Also, he sounds reasonable quite often, and humorous, and he’s got a girlfriend who appears to be as nice as she is beautiful. And, she is beautiful! He usually has a bit less color to his face in the photographs, just so you know! And, no, this is not my new crush, or anything like that. I’m quite happy with my old crush, thank you. I do think he’s neat to look at, and admire in other ways, from afar, though. Back to my old crush: sigh i just wrote him a stupid email. This is nothing new, as I often write him stupid emails. It’s just that it occurred to me, afterward, that it might end up being read by his father or mother, and that, well – that could be more than a little embarrassing. No, it wasn’t smarmy, but, there may have been a suggestive comment or joke, or two, or ten. Someone stop me, before I email again! As you can see, I hope, haplessdan is a rider of things with motors and cyclical ways of doing things. There are some in this digital painting, to illustrate that point. He is also in Scotland, and .. uh m.. he was adopted by a redheaded bevy of cattle, so, he is fully Scottish by nationality, and therefore I can put him in the Scottish groups. Yeah! That’s the ticket! For haplessdan, this is all everyday life; for me, making it up and painting digital paintings of people I barely know, but like, is! Homage is to the man himself, the Scottish motorbike scene, the better bits of MCN Forum particularly, and – in a strange way – to another man altogether, who can be found, reading between the lines, in all those things!

  Will Be Dan
  by Arletta

  So named, because, while I liked the other painting I did, using the same photo of haplessdan as a model, I just didn’t think it looked that much like him. This, below, is him: / You’d better appreciate it, too, as I had to look, long and hard .. . what? My mind went blank, suddenly! Uhm .. I had to look a whole lot, to find this photo to share with you. Go through all the posts of Kam, until I found the one where he posted this, that is. Anyway, me and my addled mind are going to bed. Oh, hush!

  Another email I just had to share :D I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is84). / We decided to grab a bite to eat at the food court. / I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. / The teenager had spiked hair in all different colours: green, red, orange and blue. / My dad kept staring at him. / The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked: ‘What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?’ Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. / And in classic style he did not bat an eyelid in his response: ‘Got stoned once and fucked a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son.’

• Using Email Marketing to Sell Your Art

  Email marketing is a powerful tool that should leverage your existing relationships with family, friends, previous customers, clients, and acquaintances to create awareness and sales. You can also purchase email lists that are targeted to people that are apt to buy art or apparel (corporate art buyers, retail shop owners), however, the fastest way to lose credibility is to send a bulk email to strangers without providing context, purpose, and pointing out an immediate benefit to the recipient. Always ask yourself what job the email is doing for the recipient. What’s the benefit? OK, you’ve decided to send a mass (aka bulk) email. Now what? 1. Identify your mailing list / Your list can be your webmail contact list, an export of your computer’s address book, Apple or Outlook Address Book, Palm Contacts, etc. Members interested in buying lists should ping me via Bubblemail. Don’t be dissuaded by a small list of just a few people; email marketing works based on list quality and not the total size of the list. Email marketing can be as simple as sending an email to previous customers from your Gmail account. 2. Segment your list / Divide your list in order to test several groups. You can segment the list by sales potential, e.g., purchased from you in the past six months, inactive for six-plus months, new prospects (new to your list and never purchased art from you), etc. You could add a second qualifier if you have the patience, e.g., purchased a t-shirt from you in the past six months… or you could just go the full monty. 3. How will you mail? / This is the juncture at which you will decide if you’re going to send the email from your webmail, personal mail, or if you’ll send email using a bulk email tool. There are many free and pay-per-use bulk email tools online. A few names include Constant Contact, Campaign Monitor, Campaign Master, SubscriberMail, ExactTarget, etc. Look for a service that does not charge an up-front fee, little or no monthly fee, and that charges less than a cent/penny/pence per email sent. Why use a third-party email tool? a. You preserve your personal email address’ white label status (favorable view) with Internet Service Providers – making it unlikely that your address will be blocked due to an email blast. b. These tools provide templates that make email creation very easy. Some tools make adding content to an email as simple as “drag-and-drop.” c. The third-party will manage your unsubscribe and spam lists, so you won’t need to remember who wanted off the distribution list. Similarly, some services allow you and interested parties to add subscribers using a form; you won’t need to manually add subscribers. d. Third-party tools often include reports that will show you how many people opened your email, how many clicked through (and on which links), as well as unsubscribe and “spam” rates. 4. What to write? / Perhaps you dislike the “hard sell” and choose to send an editorial email that targets everyone in your list. The content of this newsletter could focus on: a. New work / b. Artwork in process – a behind the scenes peek at upcoming work / c. News about you and your work, e.g., recent shows, groups, charity work / d. Photos of you and your studio – or other personal images / e. A short, witty anecdote, etc. lead-in If you’re interested in creating a merchandised (sales-y) email, consider: a. Keeping the copy short and the calls to action obvious. Don’t make clicking through to your RedBubble page hard for the reader. / b. Capitalize on seasonal trends or life cycle events. Holidays are a great reason to talk about your work. / c. Readers love of collections, e.g., art for shared spaces, pop culture t-shirts, landscapes, etc. / d. Show lots of pictures, but keep the file sizes small. If you use Photoshop, use the “Save for Web” function and tweak the JPG quality so that images are small yet attractive. / e. Make any incentives obvious and put them in both the Subject line and at the top of the email newsletter. E.g., if you’re having a sale, offering a free item with purchase (free digital downloads are nice; e.g., wallpaper, printout), etc. 5. Subject line time / Subject lines make or break the number of people opening your email. You can get crazy and send the same email content – using different subject lines – to similar audiences and then measure the different open rates (the number of people that opened each email). My best advice is to include an offer in the subject line (if an offer exists). Otherwise, keep the subject line short and to the point. Humor and personality helps if it’s not obscure. Want to know if your email subject line is too obscure? Send a test to a few friends in the target audience and ask for their opinion. 6. Prepare and test / You’ve got your list, created your email message, and chose a distribution method. Next, paste your message into your email client. If you’re using a third-party tool, load your content into the template you’ve chosen. The only other note I have here is to send a test email to multiple email clients. For example, open a Gmail account, employ Apple Mail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, etc. if possible. Send your test email to make sure that you like the way it looks in each email client. Some third-party tools will show you a preview of your email in multiple email clients (for a small fee). Here are the email clients used by RedBubble members: 25.0% use Yahoo! Mail / 15.0% use Outlook 2000, 2003, Express / 13.0% use Apple Mail 3 / 10.9% use Hotmail / 9.6% use Gmail / 5.8% use iPhone 2.0 / 3.1% use Apple Mail 2 / 17.5% use All others combined 7. Time to send / Good luck. Spell check, recheck, and check your copy again. Then push that send button and be sure to record the results. Basic stats include: / a. Emails sent / b. Emails opened / c. Clicks from the email to your artwork / d. Number of sales – both transactions and total dollars A next step would be to monitor the lifetime value of the customer, e.g., how many sales, dollars, etc. started with that one email. I’ve probably rambled on far too much, but I hope that this article got you started and provided a few new thoughts, tips, and tricks that you’ll test in the near future. If you use email marketing to sell your art, please Bubblemail me or add your anecdotes or pointers below. Oh, one last thing. If you have blog, you might want to look at FeedBurner.com as way to automatically email people each time you post a new blog entry. Feedburner provides the opt-in (sign up) form and automatically distributes the email for you. I can see that many members also use Feedburner through Blogger.com, and feature a link to these feeds and newsletters on their RedBubble Profile Pages and personal blogs, e.g., Jordan Clarke / thickblackoutline / and Stephen Mitchell among others. If you already create articles about selling art, please point us to them below. More information about selling your art can be found under the Selling member name. Regards, / Jason

  The 'Man' rules
  by Naf4d

  One of those circular emails that do the rounds made into a t-shirt: The ‘Man’ rules / At last, some guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys’ side of the story (I must admit, it’s pretty good). / We always hear ‘the rules’ from the female side. Now, here are the rules from the male side. / These are our rules! / NB. They are all numbered ‘1’ on purpose! 1. Men are not mind readers. / 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl now. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down. / 1. Sunday sports – it’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. / 1. Crying is blackmail. / 1. Ask for what you want… let us be clear on this one! Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! / 1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. / 1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. / 1. Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days. / 1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are; don’t ask us… / 1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. / 1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. / 1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials. / 1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we. / 1. All men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. / 1. If it itches, it will be scratched… we do that. / 1. If we ask what is wrong and you say; “nothing”, we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. / 1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear. / 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine… really! / 1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as football, sex, tits or fishing. / 1. You have enough clothes. / 1. You have too many shoes. / 1. I am in shape. Round is a shape; straight is a shape; flat is a shape. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.

  Computer Painting ( Painter & PS) What points out Computer Painting is the use of brushes, spatulas, etc… without filters or effects, and that the art is made totally freehand on blank canvas or working on a previous image. / . / . / . / . / . / . / . / . / featured in Shapes & Patterns – July 2009 featured in Paintings Modern and Beyond – PiMT – July 2009 / . / . / . / . / . / . / / . / . / . / . / . / . / . / The Word Lovers / . / . / He was a word lover. / I could tell by the way / he wrote my name / over and over and over again, / in cursive and in bold / in capital letters and in print. His swift, artistic hand / danced across the page / as he wrote my name along with beautiful words. / But he didn’t know how to write poetry. So I taught him a few things. / First, I told him to begin with his heart. / Listen to it, acknowledge it. / Then take that emotion and transfer it / to your mind where words will draw themselves / like magnets to what you feel, / giving shape to shapeless emotions. / Then you write it down, all of it. He quickly understood, / for he was a connoisseur of words / and loved their beauty and power. / And I saw the poet in him / waiting to break free. So he began to write / like a madman, / all day and night, / passionately moving his pen across the paper / Writing, writing, writing…… Oh, what a sight he was! / So beautiful he looked consumed by his writing, / lost in his thoughts, in his world. / And I think I think I fell in love with him / right then and there. And so taken in I was by his feverish writing / that I took up a pen / and began writing as well. And we both wrote / All day and night / Non-stop flow of words / from mind to paper / and from paper to heart. / Two minds lost in poetry / and yet two souls sailing together / in the same starlit sea of words. Then / it dawned / and the sun streamed / like a golden river / onto our tired hands / and mess of papers: / Poems here and there / Words littering the room. / Such a beautiful confusion / bathed in the light of day. Then he looked at me / with warm, but tired eyes / and said, / Here, this one’s for you. My heart jumped. / I did not expect a poem for me. / I took the sheet of paper / as my joy meshed with the butterflies / that swirled like a hurricane within me. / Then I read what his beautiful mind had created: I never knew / The true beauty of words / Until I met you. / You gave me heart and soul / And I couldn’t ask for more. / My words are true / Because now I can say that / I love you. My heart gave a violent jolt / and it nearly exploded, / creating a beautiful pain. Then I nervously admitted: Forgive me, / I don’t know what to do. / I don’t have one for you. / You see, all day and night / I only wrote of you. / These poems that flood the room / In the sunlight, / They’re all of you. He smiled / and subtly blushed. / I saw him glow like the morning sun / and then said: Then I shall pick one / and read it out loud / in your stead. And you should have heard / my words on his lips, / spoken with his voice. / A different musical sound / emanating from the poem I wrote. / My words were the notes / and his voice was the music / that made my love come alive: We are / Two minds linked through words / Two souls found through love / Two beings in perfect symphonic symmetry / And one poetic dance of two word lovers linked for all eternity. / . / . / collaboration: Erika / / . / . / . / . / . / . / . / MCN :: CB25A-799E7-B1313

  My Redbubble favorites
  by Naf4d

  I’ve wanted to a piece showing the work(s) and people that I admire here on Redbubble for a while now. So I decided to Bmail everyone in my favorites list with the same request: Dear (favorite), / I’m currently thinking about producing a new piece of artwork for Redbubble and I want to feature screen grabs/screen shots of the work in my favourites list (3 to 4 pages in total), in the thumbnail/list view in some way or another… not completely sure yet. / Obviously your fine example(s) of work feature(s) in my list, so I would like to know if you are happy for me to include it or not?
The screen grabs will obviously be at low resolution so when they’re included in the finished artwork they would not be particularly sharp.. I just want to use them as part of the overall concept. / It is going to be a piece (I think…maybe!) loosely to do with copyright/copyright infringement, maybe censorship….?
If you are not happy for me to use the thumbnail, that’s no problem at all as it will/may form part of the design (the censorship bit…. maybe… blanked out?) / As you can tell it’s a thought in progress – if I get a negative response it’ll be back to the drawing board! / Obviously all of you (if any) will get a mention/link to your original piece of work that I’ve favourited…. maybe, even the people who don’t want their work to appear (the blanked out work) in the artwork itself will still get a link to their piece…? / If you don’t want your work, your name or anything else to be used in any way whatsoever please let me know – I will completely respect your reasons for this and leave it completely out; blanked out or otherwise. / I’m emailng everyone in my favourites list with the same request so I guess it might take a while before I can even start the artwork.
If it all goes to plan and I’m reasonably happy with the finished result, I could even send you a copy of the artwork before it goes live just so you can approve it…. please let me know if you want this I’d prefer not to do this though as the work will obviously have already been done! I would rather know at the outset weather or not you don’t mind me doing it. / It could well be a rubbish piece of work in the end and never go live… I’d like to give it a go though! / Thanks for your time and I look forward to you reply, / Kind regards,
Nathan (Naf4d) I got a great response and most of my favorites were 100% behind me. So a big thank you goes out, in no particular order, to the following artists and photographers: Flibble – I bet you can’t do this…, I know what you put in my food last summer & Helium Addict / Scott Robinson – It`s an art worth the learning / Spikerama – Lego of my brain / Billyboy – Bird Puss / najeroux – Auden / Matt Simmer – Mod Scooter / Nick Ford – Drippy skate stencil & A Bluffing Moose? / globalammo – YouNoob & Monkeygun / Muscular Teeth – Broken Pattern / nofrillsart – Mickey Maus & Peacekeepers (Olive dove or Olive drab) / Shane Smart – Praise the day / Steve Harvey – Cereal Killer / Kordian – Skullphabet On Your T-Shirt / Kreatory – Kreatory Kat / Brettus – Camo & Flight of the Currawongs / DieselLaws – Listening / Gili Orr – Straight in the eyes – II / Danny Edwards – keep britain tidy / Red Hand Graphics – Hot Fox / Plastica Tees – Ak47 Love & Peace (black) / Tom Baumker – Two Bald Eagles / Lucan Industries Unlimited – six questions, one answer & 1…9…....8…..............4 / fischer – Drip cube & Cube Tree 0.01 / Quanzik – Spoon / Yanmos – Medusound – The ancient sound, love tree & Flyaway / Tanel Lind – Ian Curtis / Rubyred – Head In The Clouds – dark / ZAAAAP – Face of Evil / Zomboy – all we are saying…. is give peace a chance…. & Dandylion Flight / Duncando – Eye Contact / Mikoto – Fatal Attraction Poster / ODE2EDO – ODE2EDO | OSCAR MIKE / J Valasco – Gym Tonic & Life is to share_tshirt / ScarlettVeith – Rocket Man! / FA Graphics – Into a new life… P.S. / Thanks also go out to the people who said “no”, for whatever reason, as I actually wanted a few of you to say “no”! ;-) LARGE VERSION HERE / Details: / / /
