  We all have artists on our watchlist that we think are wonderful, but who may not get the recognition they deserve or their work just gets passed by in the influx of daily work here on Redbubble. I would like to form a journal entry here that serves the purpose of bringing awareness and traffic to these underappreciated artists, so my proposal is that anyone who wished to come into this journal and post 1 or 2 links to artists on their watchlists whom they absolutely adore. This idea was originally begun by JULIE LANGFORD so please be sure to visit her journal HERE too for more amazing work! Also feel free to link to their images as well, and try not to repeat the same artists as have already been mentioned and promoted. This way we can get the word out about so many of these tremendous hidden talents here at Redbubble. I have two artists I would now like to introduce to you that I have on my watchlist: David Linkenauger and Shelley Spillenaar David is one of my fellow home state photographers and takes really nice waterscape images, and Shelley in my mmind has a wonderful eye and a keen sense of capturing the right moment with animals. Please go take a look at the wonderful work of these two artists, and if you like what you see be sure to tell them so and maybe even add them to your watchlist! Also, be sure to scan your own watchlist for someone who you think deserves more attention than they are currently getting in the world of Redbubble! Let’s make this a huge success!

• Discourse and the unexpected

  As many of you may or may not know, in addition to my degrees in science I hold a BA in Philosophy, and I am alaways trying to join appropriate literary quotes with my journal posting when it is deemed proper. So in the spirit of joining my artistic journal with some philosophical wisdom, I want to start the rest of this journal posting with the following quotation from the Famous English Philosopher John Locke (English philosopher, 1632-1704) – “There is frequently more to be learned from the unexpected questions of a child than the discourses of men.” Well said dear John, and everyone here at the bubble knows all too well how much discourse I have had in the past few weeks. I have even many times behaved as a spoiled rotten child who would not stop touching their sibling, even after the parental units had warned several times of possible groundings and timeouts! So as many know I would proceed to offload my work, whine and threaten that I won’t stay a couple of times, but I literally have received hundreds of emails and bubblemails, not to mention the huge public outpouring of support in other Redbubble locations like journals and forum threads and various works of art…...and so what is my point…...my point is that the encouragement, Redbubble brand of love and support, and the faith in my personal integrity by more friends than I can count has all made up my mind for me that there is absolutely no reason for me to feel I need to go nor need I be ashamed of standing up for my ideals and the stanchion of truth, honesty and the pursuit of a community where these traits are fostered by all involved. I really like the following quote, and I think it really hits home for me today of all days: All the water in the world, however hard it tries, can never sink the / smallest ship unless it gets inside, and all the evil in the world, the / blackest kind of sin, can never hurt you in the least, unless you let it in. Anonymous I lost my head many times in fits of reactionary actions over the past few weeks, and all along I should have let Redbubble do their thing. Peter and his staff have it all under control, and much like ones tax returns things never go as swiftly for an individual as one would like in the business world. Peter only wants the truth, fairness to all deserving of it, and the Redbubble image to remain free of controversy and deception on our part. I am all for that, and I should have more faith in Peter and RB because they did their job and they did it quite well. Now I am going on and on and digressing a bit, and i need to come back round the other side to the BEST reason for this post! Somehow, throughout all of my ups and downs, taking work off and putting work back on, I was DISCOVERED by an interior designer in New York looking to adorn the walls of a pediatricians office with some lovely and colorful artwork. Somehow, by hook or by crook, she came across some of my work and we started talking. Long story short, thanks to my work here on display at Redbubble, thats right, here in the Lion’s Den, I just closed the largest single sale I have had in 2+ years! How unexpected is that! The designer purchased 7 different images at $300 per, and they will be blown up to somewhere between 2’ x 3’ and 2’ x 4’ and placed on the wall of Rye Brook Pediatric Associates, Rye Ridge Plaza, Rye Brook New York. If anyone who reads this is somewhat local to that area of New York state please by all means go by for a visit and tell me how they look! The following are the images that are going up on the wall even as we speak: TILT / / POETRY IN MOTION / / STRIPES / / BLENDED / / TROPICAL / / BASHFUL / / and OOPS / I mean I was literally blown away, and I owe it all to Redbubble friends and members who stuck it out with me through these times of trial and tribulation. So in a more concise way, I just want to say thank you friends, because of you not only have I not left a community that is forgiving and embraces those who get hammered on when the chips seem down, but you also helped my wife and I out in a time of tremendous economic uncertainty in America. I won’t go on with all the sappy stuff, but I easily could. SO I AM STAYING THANKS TO YOU FRIENDS Bless you all, and I hope that my unexpected success thanks to all of you in a time of great uncertainty will help those in the future who may be in doubt of what to do or are bogged down in things they have little control over. I wouldn’t do anything different except to let Peter and Redbubble take the reins from the get go no matter how long their professional and sound process took, it is really the best way! Have a great week! And thank you all for commenting on my recent uploads, and I guess I need to get these that I sold loaded back since they appeal to someone out there!

• Tigers 4 Tigers ~ I am very proud of this!

  I am going to take a moment to toot my own horn, not something I do on a regular basis. I have just received the final pdf proof for a promotional calendar for 2008 that will be distributed at the University of Missouri and throughout the world to faculty, friends, alumni, and students to increase awareness for wild tiger conservation! The calendar features only photography of yours truly throughout, and so in a sense it is like having a solo gallery show! As many conservation saavy individuals might already know, the tiger in the wild is one of the iconic symbols of endangered species worldwide, numerous organizations have been created to focus on increasing awareness on all of the tiger species worldwide and their precipitous decline towards extinction. All tiger species in the wild are endangered, some more severely than others. Several sub-species have already been lost. You can read more about the first of it’s kind “Tigers 4 Tigers” program started at the University of MIssouri by going here MizzouT4T The two images I I have posted in this message are the opening page of the inside of the calendar as well as the back page of the calendar that talks about me personally and my work. I ask that when you have time you visit the T4T page and read about the program, and if you feel so inclined offer a donation to either T4T, or any other conservation effort, globally or locally, because there is always more that needs to be done to preserve the beauty that exists in the world! Thank you all for listening to me, it is truly an honor to have been a part of this worthy project, and it is exactly the type of conservation effort that weds real on the ground work with the beauty of art that can help stem the tide of the rapid decline of magnificent creatures like the tiger in the wild!

  If anyone out there is wondering what in the hell has been going on with me and Redbubble over the past few weeks you can get a bit of an idea by reading Peter’s Comments in regards to this matter HERE While Peter is obviously not in the habit of naming names, saying someone is right and someone is wrong, I think anyone with a good head on their shoulders and a bit of an objective mind can put two and two together. I think you all can figure out who these key players are, and what works have suddenly disappeared. I took alot of crap from alot of people in the community because you all did not know the facts of the case and I could not tell them to you. I still can not, but it should become blatantly clear now to everyone why I was so vehement in defending myself when I was called a liar, a jealous artist, an idiot, a person who is just mean and nasty for no good reason, someone who had no valid motive, etc. I am sure many of you who said such things still feel this way even after the truth in a somewhat vague and cryptic way has been spilled out by Peter and Redbubble. I had hoped that there would be a bit more forthcoming on the part of Redbubble and alot more accountability by the guilty party, but I will have to settle for what it is. I will still not be bringing my work back online because there were some assurances made to me by Peter as conditions of me keeping my work here that are clearly not going to be honored, and that is his perogitive. Nonetheless I felt I had a right to direct everyone to his thread in order to offer some clarity to all those who are confused or have been on the sidelines just wondering what in the hell has been going on. From my perspective it was never personal, it was all business. I went about it in the wrong manner, and now Redbubble is forcing me to take my medicine by way of taking away my group Natural Developments without consulting me or my membership. I think it is wrong as I was only responding to the attacks on me. I did not name any names nor did I ever instigate anything directly. the guilty always reveal themselves through vehement denials while offering no hard proof. This is exactly what happened here in this case. Redbubble was slow to act, but that is water under the bridge. I wish you all well, and at least you can know some of THE TRUTH

  Wow! What a morning – wildlife rescue (see other journal entry), and then …................ I received a BubbleMail from Mundy to say that I had been the lucky winner of his first raffle – the beautiful tiger portrait, TILT!!! I was so excited when Mundy emailed me that I couldn ‘t even write a BubbleMail back for a little while. This is the best thing, I’m so happy, I can’t wait to receive it, and show it off on the Buyers’ Booth. Wow, what a morning!

• Recommendation: Mundy Hackett

  Mundy Hackett is an outstanding wildlife photographer. His images are compelling and his descriptions add much to the experience of viewing his photos of wildlife. Mundy has just uploaded Pawprints which shows us a mother tiger gracefully walking away with her awkward cub following behind. With this photo, Mundy has interpreted a poem, Footprints in the Sand. The combination of photo and description is a tribute to motherhood. Visit Mundy’s portfolio, and you will understand why I recommend him to you. RedBubble has so many talented artists, and I would like to see with each public view of an image a Recommend button available next the the one for Favorite. A Recommend button could help choose which artists RedBubble admin might interview as a feature on the Community page.
