Then I thought, Arletta doesn’t part her hair like that, who the heck is that. / / You should do a pic of me. “ and the other said “Thanks for the oh so flattering portrait, baby sister. I know where you live.”

  • Thong Trees, Marc Newson, Mambo, Cultural Icons and Creative Musings
    by Karin Taylor

    This new idea is in the Ideas and Suggestions Forum...

    This new idea is in the Ideas and Suggestions Forum if anyone feels they’d like to vote for it, thank you :) I’ve been thinking about the marriage of art and design, particularly with regard to Australian cultural icons, such as the thong (the type one shuffles onto their feet on the way to the beach) the esky (or the chillybin as those in NZ may have come to know it) the surfboard and the body board Have a look at Marc Newson’s famous nickel surfboard and his even more famous Aluminium and fibreglass lounge In an effort never to cheapen art, Red Bubble have always been very wise I think in sticking to a product range that always elevates the status of art, never cheapening it in a way by sticking it on all kinds of merchandise, BUT… I still think that it’s possible to have some other designer merchandise (like our tshirts for example) which are still wearable, useful and can create a cult following, without cheapening the art. Here in Australia, we have loads of potential for something as simple as the Designer Thong there are endless possibilities, and I would just love to see something like the Designer Thong be introduced to the Bubble…even were it to be just a one off comp…. i would love also to see Surfboards designs (not the surfboard itself, i mean the art going onto the surfboard) by our great artists, and body boards and eskies….. even if these things weren’t on offer all the time, but just occasionally there were challenges to create designs for these as one offs… although i would love to see them become regularly available, because these are the types of things I can imagine would get a lot of exposure on the ground…for Red Bubble and for us as artists. Can you imagine hauling out your esky at the bbq….. and everyone’s checking out your design?? am thinking about the old vintage look esky’s not so much the modern style… but there could be variations in style. I know i have my head up in the clouds and it ’s a whole lot of daydreaming, but after seeing a recent interview with the Australian designer Marc Newson and reading about Stefan Sagmeister, I can help but feel inspired and the creative ideas begin to flow. Here is a wonderful thongs artwork by John Dahlsen who also does wonderful “thong bottle sculptures” and “thong totems” And of course, we can’t forget Mambo and I don’t think that putting the art onto tshirts and thongs cheapens it at all….just makes it more and more accessible to people like us, our friends and our families…and what a great advertisement too. There could be challenges for us as bubblers, to paint our thongs and submit them in photos, to paint an esky and submit….. to paint a surfboard and submit…. etc…etc… and prize could be to have them printed… with a possible view someday to perhaps selling thongs with our designs on them, just like we do with tshirts…designer thongs… Anyway, i’ve not yet submitted the idea to the ideas and suggestions journal, but maybe i will… depends on whether you think it’s a good idea. I realise fully, that these are Australian ideas, from an Australian girl…. who loves Australia and surf culture….so I may be completely one eyed and off track as we are trying to embrace all cultures here on Red Bubble, and I love all other cultures as well…but am particularly proud of this one too :) oh, and know how busy everyone is, and how flat out Red Bubble’s team is, but couldn’t help sharing my little inspiration with you Anyway, i shall just float off again now, into my little bubble of dreams….happy bubbling to all…. :) Edit I was just reminded of a couple of folks that lived on the beach in a caravan when i was little, and they had a ‘thong tree’...an old tree just covered in ‘found thongs’ they’d find on the beach… pretty cool idea :)
