  Over the last couple of months RedBubble has been voluntarily paying all the Value Added Tax (VAT) for orders shipped to the UK (the orders are shipped from the US and Australia). The alternative was that the courier company would demand extra money (i.e. the VAT) at delivery – and we thought that was a pretty awful customer experience so we told the courier company that we’d pay the VAT on your behalf. Anyway, RedBubble has now got an arrangement with the British government to collect and pay the VAT to HMRC. What does this mean? Well from this Thursday’s release all your purchases on RedBubble will include VAT (previously they have been VAT free). For British folks only prices on RedBubble will rise on Thursday. So you’ve got two more days to buy buy buy before the British government joins the party. I wish we didn’t have to pay tax … but it does seem to be the way of the world … - Peter P.S. Thursday’s release will be about 2 a.m. London time. [Edit on 17 April] P.P.S. This week’s release was delayed as a few things weren’t quite ready. We’ll now be releasing the VAT changes next Wednesday.

  we all know we love RB, if we didnt we wouldnt be here / we all know we LOVE comments and views on our work / but…when people start having to apologize for not returning comments, exactly what does it mean? has RB gotten so big with so much work added that we cant keep up? or does it mean..the only reason we give a comment is because something is expected in return? i do ask the members of the Shots in the Fog group, instead of worrying about telling me thanks for the comments..find another person in the group and give THEM a comment! Pass It On! i know they appreciate the comments, i dont need them to tell me thanks to confirm it. seeing them passing it on..is a “thanks” enough for me / i know my activity monitor moves 2pages per day, due to my favs on my watchlist adding new works, journals, and writings. / i know for the past 3wks its taken a few hours to just to try to ketchup!! when i could be here. / i comment on a person’s work because that work MOVED Me to comment, not because i expect someone to comment back. yes the return comments are appreciated, but NOT expected. / I add to my watchlist because i LIKE the person’s work!! not because i expect them to add me to their watchlist. / it really bothers me some that are complaining about others being rude, or the threat of..ill remove you if you dont comment back. what is that all about???? / yes we are here to support each other and get our work out. but you must give Everyone the benefit of the doubt, they might not be able to make it onto the site, they are busy with their work as well, who knows, but it shouldnt matter. / so before you comment on a persons’s work..think about what You are expecting from it. are you commenting because the work moved you to comment? or are you expecting something in return? i want EVERYONE to know, who ever has commented and added me to their watchlist, i am very honored my work has moved you enough to do that, i appreciate every comment made. and wish like hell i could return EVERY one of them. / those who have removed me, well im sorry you felt that way, that i didnt meet your “expectations”. crazy me, thought meeting anyone’s expectations would be to upload work that is pleasurable to view, and who knows..buy? so before you go chastising others because they might not be as active as you’re able to be on the site. think about why they arent responding, or maybe they are passing it on? so lets rethink the reason we comment. let it be because work moved you and expect nothing in return. dont let it turn out to be the if you dont comment on every shot, i wont comment. thats how we end up turning into other sites we all have left and RB isnt like ANY other site on the internet, that is what makes it so Awesome so thanks to everyone who has kept me on their watchlist / thanks for all the support and comments / i am honored to call You friends! and i DO plan on catching up!

  A lot of people have been asking me what camera and lenses I use. Instead of replying to everyone individually, I thought I’d just put the answer out here in a journal. So, what lens do I use? / The one that came factory attached to my shitty little handheld Samsung Digimax 530. What camera do I use? / The shitty little handheld that came factory attached to my ONE lens ;-P I do not have a fancy, high-end camera. Though I would LOVE to get my hands on a Canon EOS 350D or any model of Nikon, I just don’t have the money. Besides, my little camera gets the job done just fine. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get to borrow my mom’s camera – a Panasonic Lumix. It’s no Nikon, but it is a really good camera. The only images in my gallery that were taken with that camera so far, though, are the ones of Electra and Jonathan In my opinion, the camera doesn’t matter all that much. I think it’s how you use it that counts. I’ve seen people who shoot with Nikons produce really average shots, and I’ve seen some really mind-blowing shots taken with the same camera by a different person. It all just depends on the photographer. If you disagree, let me know why. I’d love to be able to point to the computer screen and say, ‘See, Mom? That’s why I need a new camera!’ ;-P But yes, that is my embarrassing secret. My camera is a piece of junk. But I don’t really think that should matter.

  Hiya peeps. / I run the video montage group, and we are currently running a theme based on MONSTERS, FANTASY, FOLKLORE type art. If you have anything you feel might be appropriate, please join the group and submit that piece of artwork. The idea is that with many artists involved we create a montage film of all the art and post it on youtube. Each artwork gets a written title and the artists name beside it.. so youtube viewers can head on back here and buy that art. Video Montage Group A previous film as an example of what we do If you know of others who have great art, let them know too. / remember its based on the theme of MONSTERS, FANTASY, FOLKLORE. / so demons, witches, ghouls, ghosts, all that sorta thing..

  I would like to invite Asian people and others to comment on my latest piece of work. Most of the elements I have included are of Japanese Yokai influence. That was the main idea behind the image. The imagery I’ve used is somewhat uncertain to me, because I don’t know all the stories behind them as they’re influenced by imagery from other artists and anime. Which I think wasn’t such a good idea on my part, as I created the artwork using elements that I don’t really understand completely. (my bad) The basic idea behind it was only to illustrate the link between the spirit world and our reality…in a Japanese setting. A very simple idea, but I realize some of the elements might have more in-depth meanings or stories behind them. Evangeline Than, has pointed out the inclusion of the centipede in the piece. Evangeline, could you elaborate on it further? So if you’ve got any stories, ghost stories, folk tales etc. please comment below. I’d like to learn more.

  Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. ~Henry Ward Beecher / Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. ~Scott Adams Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. ~Pablo Picasso Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ~Twyla Tharp The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. ~William Faulkner Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ~Pablo Picasso Life beats down and crushes the soul and art reminds you that you have one. ~Stella Adler Painting is silent poetry. ~Plutarch, Moralia: How to Study Poetry Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. ~Leonardo da Vinci It has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet. ~Kojiro Tomita Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in. ~Amy Lowell To send light into the darkness of men’s hearts – such is the duty of the artist. ~Schumann We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand. The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies. ~Pablo Picasso I don’t paint things. I only paint the difference between things. ~Henri Matisse An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one. ~Charles Horton Cooley Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer To make us feel small in the right way is a function of art; men can only make us feel small in the wrong way. ~E.M. Forster, Two Cheers for Democracy, 1951 Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ~Theodore Dreiser, Life, Art, and America, 1917 The artist’s world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand All art requires courage. ~Anne Tucker Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. ~Oscar Wilde Painting is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work. ~Henry Moore Pictures must not be too picturesque. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~André Gide Anyone who says you can’t see a thought simply doesn’t know art. ~Wynetka Ann Reynolds But that’s what being an artist is – feeling crummy before everyone else feels crummy. ~The New Yorker Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. ~Fran Lebowitz Great art picks up where nature ends. ~Marc Chagall When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college – that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, “You mean they forget?” ~Howard Ikemoto Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame. ~G.K. Chesterton What art offers is space – a certain breathing room for the spirit. ~John Updike The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life. ~Henry Miller No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist. ~Oscar Wilde Let me ask you something, what is not art? ~Author Unknown An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need to have but that he – for some reason – thinks it would be a good idea to give them. ~Andy Warhol The buttocks are the most aesthetically pleasing part of the body because they are non-functional. Although they conceal an essential orifice, these pointless globes are as near as the human form can ever come to abstract art. ~Kenneth Tynan God and other artists are always a little obscure. ~Oscar Wilde For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh. ~Georges Rouault Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale ‘til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson The progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality. ~T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent, 1919 There is no surer method of evading the world than by following Art, and no surer method of linking oneself to it than by Art. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Art is… a question mark in the minds of those who want to know what’s happening. ~Aaron Howard I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for. ~Georgia O’Keeffe Man will begin to recover the moment he takes art as seriously as physics, chemistry or money. ~Ernst Levy Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea. ~John Anthony Ciardi As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language. ~Pablo Picasso The world today doesn’t make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do? ~Pablo Picasso When painting, an artist must take care not to trap his soul in the canvas. ~Dena Groquet I want to reach that condensation of sensations that constitutes a picture. ~Henri Matisse, Notes d’un peintre, 1908 Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness. ~George Jean Nathan, House of Satan Art is the colors and textures of your imagination. ~Meghan, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 Art is your personal diary where you may color your thoughts and emotions on a page. ~Sara, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 Art is a shadow of what a person is thinking… a small glimpse of what they hold inside. Little secrets, regrets, joys… every line has its own meaning. ~Sarah, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 Art is your emotions flowing in a river of imagination. ~Devin, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 Art is an adventure that never seems to end. ~Jason, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 Art is pictures straight from the heart. ~Ben, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999 If Michelangelo had been straight, the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered. ~Robin Tyler Art is the triumph over chaos. ~John Cheever All great art comes from a sense of outrage. ~Glenn Close Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life. ~Jean Paul Richter Poets do not go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. ~Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Orthodoxy One of the best things about paintings is their silence – which prompts reflection and random reverie. ~Mark Stevens God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things. ~Pablo Picasso Art hath an enemy called ignorance. ~Ben Jonson What garlic is to salad, insanity is to art. ~Augustus Saint-Gaudens Art… does not take kindly to facts, is helpless to grapple with theories, and is killed outright by a sermon. ~Agnes Repplier, Points of View, 1891 Art disturbs, science reassures. ~Georges Braque, Le Jour et la nuit Art is the struggle to understand. ~Audrey Foris As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life. ~John Lubbock It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man. ~Loren Eiseley, The Night Country, 1971 Art is spirituality in drag. ~Jennifer Yane Reflexes and instincts are not pretty. It is their decoration that initiates art. ~Martin H. Fischer What was any art but a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining elusive element which is life itself – life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose. ~Willa Cather An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world. ~George Santayana Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization. ~Lincoln Steffens Art is not a thing; it is a way. ~Elbert Hubbard An artist’s career always begins tomorrow. ~James McNeill Whistler Surely nothing has to listen to so many stupid remarks as a painting in a museum. ~Edmond & Jules de Goncourt Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. ~G.K. Chesterton The true painter strives to paint what can only be seen through his world. ~André Malraux An artist never really finishes his work; he merely abandons it. ~Paul Valéry Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is. ~Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark, 1915 A subject that is beautiful in itself gives no suggestion to the artist. It lacks imperfection. ~Oscar Wilde An artist cannot talk about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture. ~Jean Cocteau, Newsweek, 16 May 1955 The artist does not see things as they are, but as he is. ~Alfred Tonnelle A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened. ~Albert Camus For the mystic what is how. For the craftsman how is what. For the artist what and how are one. ~William McElcheran An artist must be careful not to throw his ideas out with the trash. ~Dena Groquet Art is a kind of illness. ~Giacomo Puccini A great artist is always before his time or behind it. ~George Moore I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum. ~Claes Oldenburg Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths. Art is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon things beautiful and immortal and ever-changing. To morals belong the lower and less intellectual spheres. ~Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891 While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality… true art lies in a reality that is felt. ~Odilon Redon The question of common sense is always what is it good for? – a question which would abolish the rose and be answered triumphantly by the cabbage. ~James Russell Lowell The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. ~Aristotle Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul – and you answer. ~Star Richés Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don’t like – then cultivate it. That’s the only part of your work that’s individual and worth keeping. ~Jean Cocteau Any great work of art… revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world – the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air. ~Leonard Bernstein, What Makes Opera Grand? Art, as far as it is able, follows nature, as a pupil imitates his master; thus your art must be, as it were, God’s grandchild. ~Dante Alighieri, Inferno The fine arts once divorcing themselves from truth are quite certain to fall mad, if they do not die. ~Thomas Carlyle, Latter Day Pamphlets, no. 8 Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable. ~George Bernard Shaw A man paints with his brains and not with his hands. ~Michelangelo Artists can color the sky red because they know it’s blue. Those of us who aren’t artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we’re stupid. ~Jules Feiffer All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb – when you look at it, it’s looking back at you. ~Uniek Swain Architecture begins where engineering ends. ~Walter Gropius Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling. ~G.K. Chesterton Why should I paint dead fish, onions and beer glasses? Girls are so much prettier. ~Marie Laurencin Art is Man’s nature. Nature is god’s art. ~James Bailey Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together. ~John Ruskin Most quotes can be found at- http://www.quotegarden.com

  I have been browsing through my over-populated portfolio for a few days pondering my next move on the bubble, wondering whether I should burst it or lighten the load. Therefore I decided to borrow the scythe from Mr Death. I am sorry to anyone who has favourited a piece of my work and now find that piece of work gone. I am also sorry to anyone who left nice comments on a piece of my work and now find it gone. I am very grateful to everyone who did leave me a comment or did favourite a piece of work I had listed but have decided to streamline things. I have removed approx 150 pieces of artwork from my portfolio today so that it is easier to view for me and you. There comes a time when being ruthless is the only option. I set a standard in my mind and implemented it and there it is. Who knows, maybe it will inspire me to get some better images loaded. I seem to have been very slow in uploading work of late but will try harder. Thanks again for the past views and I hope to see you all come again.

  The Ottawa Xpress has finally acknowledged the existence of a much ignored musician here in Canada’s capital, by including Lindsay Ferguson in their “Best of 2007 Ottawa” Survey!! / There are a couple of Categories that I think Lindsay’s new Album ‘Sound’ should have been included in & they are as follows: Best Rock/Pop/Dance/Other Album & Best New Musical Artist or Group. I know she’s not “new” but she sort of is, now that Lindsay has her new album ‘Sound’ out people are starting to create a buzz!! / Also there is a “Best Live Show in 2007” category & seeing as Lindsay had a record-breaking attendance for her Cd Release Party, I thought it too could be classified as a “Best of”... / The one that Lindsay is up for is “Best Folk/Country Album” so be sure to check her name on that one. / Another close friend of mine, Rob Mclennan is also up for a ‘Best of…” for his writing in the fiction/non-fiction/poetry work. / All of the categories have an “other” box, where I suggest you fill in whenever necessary. / SO! lets get Lindsay Ferguson on the map in the “BEST OF 2007” for the Ottawa Xpress! / And yes, many thanks in advance for taking the time to fill the survey out. / Please continue… http://www.ottawaxpress.ca/dossier/bestof/xpress2007.aspx Lindsay’s new Album “Sound” is available on iTunes. / Rob’s writings can found on Chaudere Books.

  To kaylanelise: Appreciate you inviting others to become participants with you in this prayer….As you see there are others who struggle day in and out for that very same balance. It reminds me of Paul’s statement to his Corinthian church audience and to us as well. “There is no struggle that is not common with the folks around you.” He goes further to add, ” God is faithful, yet, to provide us a way to overcome and conquer through His empowerment if you are to allow Him. (my paraphrase)”. / 1 Corinthians10:13

These are some of the music I listen to: American Indian Flute music, Josh Groban, Earth,Wind and Fire, Teddy Pendergrass, Contemporary Indian music, Kitaro Silk Road Suite, Classical, Folk music, contemporary Jazz, Steppenwolf, Three Dog Night, New Age. I have a varied taste in music and art. Maybe we can find out what other people use to inspire their work musically.

  Idea: News feed (RSS or whatever) of the major art and design events happening around the world. You should be able to sort by location (Sydney, New York), date (next week, next month, or during a certain semester, year, month) or subject (web design, photography, etc.). Also, I think it would be cool if there was an area or address to send ideas and suggestions into, eh? And you can enlighten me to if there already is a place/address! EDIT: Also, It’d be cool to have more options for organising art (folders/pages)
