Is there a magic number of times that people have to hear about something before they take action? Maybe the first time you hear something, you think “OK, maybe i’ll look sometime”. Then the next time, you think “that’s odd, i wonder what’s going on”. But the third or fourth time, you sit up, take notice and go check it out. At times here at RedBubble, the marketing team has been busy doing lots of activities, but not being 100% sure which individual things were working. You think to yourself: “maybe no-one noticed?” Then (like today) you get an email out of the blue that starts with “Firstly I saw RedBubble in dumbo feather, then I walked past the shop on Smith Street, then I saw a link for it up on the screen at an arts law presentation – 3 hits in one day” ...and all of a sudden you feel much better! So, my theory is that people need to hear about stuff from multiple independent sources before they take it seriously. What do you think? Has this been your experience with your art, writing, or other stuff in life?

And all of our shirts are of course printed by the fine folks at Redbubble, big thanks go to Ed Redman who sorted us out in time for the event! Filthy Panda will be at Shirty07 on SATURDAY, selling their swag and swilling beers. Shirty07 is a new not-for-profit design initiative – a market selling only t-shirts. It’s an event that fuses fashion with art, music with culture; where guests can purchase unique t-shirt designs direct from independent designers, enjoy live music and chill out at the bar with a drink! At least that’s what it says on the flyer, all shirts are capped at $69 so everything is kept accessable. The flyer also says : The first Shirty will be held on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 15TH / Midday 2 Midnight / At the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre / 1 Bedford Street Newtown (opposite the train station) www.shirty07.com Shirty07 will seriously be sick, and you’re all invited!

Anthia Jane Brady Hughes was an independent woman, well ahead of her time. William “Doc” Hughes, her husband was a businessman with many interest and pursuits. Information regarding my maternal grandparents is from a review of letters, documents, papers and my observations and conservation’s with them as a child growing up in their household, along with my parents, Aunt Willie, and brother. At intervals, Anthia had responsibility for younger siblings, and other relatives. She worked on her uncle’s riverboat and became interested in a passenger’s camera. This started her interest photographs that eventually resulted in the establishment of the Brady Sisters Studio in Bridgeport Alabama and South Pittsburg Tennessee with Kempt. Anthia and William Darius Hughes ware married July 24, 1892. He was operating a Distillery and a saloon in McMinnville, along with ownership and management of a saloon and livery stable in Dayton. Hughes Photography Studio was open for business at their residence on East Main St. in May 1898. Prior to this, Anthia was operating a restaurant on Main Street. Kempt married Joe Ralston of South Pittsburgh and continued to operate the photography studio for a period of time. (They were the parents of movie star, Jobyna Ralston) Anthia operated a boarding house, “The Worthy” in St. Louis in 1903-4 during the world’s fair. She returned to McMinnville and the Photography Studio, Glad the traveling back and forth to St. Louis by family members was over. Records indicate she sold a farm (April 6, 1906) in St Louis, Mo. For 100 shares in Woodlawn (?) Handle Mfg. Co. In 1910, She was operating the City Bakery and the Studio. W.D. Hughes and a Smith designed and produced the “Perfect Churn”. (I’m not sure of the time sequence in some of these ventures.) W.D Hughes had a ice wagon, making sales. His connection with the Mountain View Canning company is not clear, though it seems likely he was into this with a partner. Locals indicate, and Berlie remembers helping to haul wagon loads of sweet potatoes to the location. Apples were a product too. Anthia raised Jersey cattle and started the Riverside Dairy from the home place. Pastures were some distance away from the house. The Perfect Churn was used in the production of buttermilk and butter. She molded into round units of delicious butter. W.D. opened a Buick dealership in 1922 in McMinnville that may have been the in the area. He and Ira Gross, his brother in law had owned and operated the McMinnville Bottling Co, later the Coca Cola company until the sold the bottling plant, equipment, franchise and contracts to P.S Barnette and H.B. Mahan September 19, 1922. A dissolution notice confirms that the partnership of the Leader Printing Company between Tom M. Woodard and W. D. Hughes was dissolved by mutual consent to take effect July 9, 1923, with W.D. assuming all indebtedness and all accounts payable to him as the sole owner. I think he owned the newspaper “The McMinnville Leader” for a period of time. He and J.W. Womack were listed as editors. Among other items, there’s a Charter of Corporation of the Riverside Oil and Gas Company on Oct. 25, 1922 listing participants as I. N. Smoot, Patrick Clancy, HB Gulick, W. D. Hughes, and W.Hackett Ross. The purpose of the company was listed “as drilling and prospecting for oil and gas, leasing and acquiring lands necessary for such drilling and mining for oil and gas; and for the further purpose of selling all such products as are produced,” records indicate the charter was recorded on 11-6-27. Tax records indicate W. D. owned property in Warren, Coffee, and Rhea Counties. A bill indicates W. D. was associated with a Winton, as dealer in mules, livestock and feedstuffs in McMinnville in Feb., 1925. He purchased stock in the Dayton Canning Co. of East Tenn., Crusader Aircraft Corporation the American Gyro Company, the Alto Gasoline and Oil Co., and a significant number of stock down through the years. His last business was a Cedar Chest Manufacturing Co. H e made a huge vegetable garden, raised some hay for cattle, fed hogs for home consumption, etc. During my child hood, Grandmother processed, canned, cooked vegetables, fruits, and meats it was fairly uscral for relatives to appear for a drop in visit near meal times. There was always enough food for all unexpected guests. She usually had two or three vegetables, two meats, hot bread, and desserts that were indescribably delicious, most of the cooking was done on a wood range. There’s never been anyone to even half way compare to her in food preparation. She took an active role with her jersey cattle, though brother took some responsibility for feeding and milking. September 8, 1998 Transcription of notes from Fay Carney Melton (granddaughter of Anthia Brady Hughes) to Joe Hughes Beasley (Grand-Nephew of Anthia Brady Hughes and the third generation of photographers in the family) Over 33,000 large format negatives and glass plates remain from the 70+ years that the studio was operated by Anthia and her daughter Willie. I have been working on them as a private historical preservation project since 1989. In October of 2007. the family archives (Brady-Hughes-Beasley Archives) became a partner with University of Tennessee, The Tennessee State Archives and others in www.volunteervoices.org The project is the creation of a online archive of 10,000 documents showcaseing the history of the State of Tennessee

In the last few years I’ve changed a lot! I used to look forward to things where now I just hate them! For example I used to love B days and Holidays, now when they are approaching I almost get depressed. I hate my Birthday’s I pretty much lock myself up and hide from the world. Christmas is a Joke, you spend all this money to make people happy and never even get a thank you. Thanksgiving, fucking sucks! Why do I need to give thanks, maybe I should thank god? For what giving me a horrible childhood, fucked up teen years, heart break, after heart break, as an adult. Valentines Day, yeah it makes me realize that everyone else in the world is happy, yet I’m miserable, and every time I am happy, it never lasts! I like New Years because I can drown my sorrows with alcohol! 4th of July, is a joke. It’s supposed to be “Independence Day.” Yeah it meant something back in the day, but now we are so far indebted to China and England, they basically own us. Easter, whatever I don’t have kids, no fun there. So yes I have turned into the Grinch! I realize that all this came on after my ex ripped out my heart, stomped on it, cut it up into little pieces, put it in a blender, and then flushed it down the toilet! 3 Years later I still can’t trust anyone, not even my friends… I’m incapable of ever really truly loving someone! So I ask myself, “Why Me?” all the time. Anyone have any suggestions? And don’t just say, “Get Over it!” Trust me I’ve tried!

I am not going to bore you with all my papers this semester but it is interesting how yesterdays connections with my fellow female bubblelites encouraged me to pick this passage from the book ‘Into The Wild’ where I was to comment on a paragraph and write one in response… Here it is and thanks for your inspiration every day.!! xoxoxox Into The Wild Page 70 It is true that many creative people fail to make mature personal relationships, and some are extremely isolated. It is also true that, in some instances, trauma, in the shape of early separation or bereavement, has steered the potentially creative person toward developing aspects of his personality, which can find fulfillment in comparative isolation. But this does not mean that solitary, creative pursuits are themselves pathological…. / Avoidance behavior is a response designed to protect the infant from behavioral disorganization. If we transfer this concept to adult life, we can see that an avoidant infant might very well develop into a person whose principal need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships. / Anthony Storr, / Solitude: A Return To Self Response: / I have become active as an individual, creatively, in the latter part of my life. Meaning I am choosing activities and projects that envelope the whole of me; the intellectual as well as the spiritual self. Before pursuing these creative outlets, I can see where my tendencies toward isolation and the inability to make ‘mature personal relationships’ were puzzling for me as well as others. Now, looking back on my life, I can see what Anthony Storr refers to as ‘trauma in the shape of early separation or bereavement’ causing ‘Avoidance behavior’. However the good news is this kind of contrast that life introduced me to early on has indeed allowed me to want to find as he says ‘meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships.’ I feel the creative self has perhaps an uncomfortable ingredient that does not allow for complacency early on, this ‘ingredient’ is so subtle in the making we sometimes do not come around to it ‘s full intention in this life. Sometimes we ignore our longings toward our higher sense of being and miss the boat altogether. For me, I am here at the last minuet of acceptance in school because I could no longer avoid its call to me. And frankly, I believe this is what keeps me inspired, passionate and young!

Since the 4th of July is sort of a big deal around these here parts, I just wanted to wish everyone a happy one! Hopefully, I will be capturing some great images, but, if not, at least everyone will be too drunk to notice! LOL! But, speaking of “great images”, I stumbled upon a great article about taking pictures on the 4th of July! In Photo Tips for the 4th of July, Yahoo! Tech’s Christopher Null (a.k.a. “The Working Guy), lists the top 5 tips for picture taking on the 4th of July from some of the web’s most professional sources (including National Geographic). With a link to each of the top “How To’s” comes their very best tip. For example, digital-photography-school.com says: “Use a tripod, and set the aperture setting to somewhere in the range of f/8 to f/16 for the best results.” And, if these tips are not enough, or just way too much information for your senses to handle, then check out the Working Guy’s own “How To”, For the 4th: How to Photograph Fireworks, a short and sweet guide to capturing fireworks on film. You can even print out his “Cliffs Notes” version and keep in your back pocket or camera bag for reference! Now, let’s get out there and take some great photographs! Oh, yes, and Happy Independence Day USA ! Cheers! ~ b.chris

Hey, just to let everyone know i’ve been working in a photo book for the last sixt months called Los Spontaneous Fakers, it features three wonderful young characters: Tommy Bolton.- He’s the most relaxed guy in the group. He attracts the attention by doing all kind of feats. Do you think he can play the piano? Shelley Bacon.- She returned home. A party was held. What to do with all the disaster and not having fun? A fake party! Unnamed Girl.- You won’t believe who’s her best friend. It’s insanity as its best! Includes almost 60 new images of my work as also a self-portrait introduction of Los Spontaneous Fakers, it’s really economic so you might wanna check out the link they fake to find happiness in loneliness / my most personal artwork to date!

Just read several news articles where not only has Palin fed rumors she is now feeding hatred. One of her “followers” shouted out “kill him” when she called Obama associated (at age 8) with Ayers. NO ONE NEEDS to feed hatred in this time of our politics. Regardless of your political affiliation, I encourage you to boycott Palin on all accounts. If you are Republican please write Senator McCain and call for her dismissal for fueling hatred. If you are Democrat, do the same. All of us are contributing to this feeding frenzy by allowing so much attention focused on someone who would foster such hatred. There is nothing more costly than this and the government cannot bail anyone out from these types of consequence. No more hatred! / http://digg.com/political_opinion/Boycott_Palin

I was very excited to log in to my account this evening and find that my work Independence has been featured today in the group 3D Animals Abound Thank you Lisa Weber and all that have visited and commented on this work. “Independence” may be a simple piece of 3D artwork but makes a strong statement in a few ways. In particular at the time I created it, freedom and liberty for all. Most importantly, the eagle lives and thrives and is free from the endangered species list. Peace!
