  I’ve been reading the American humorist David Sedaris. He rabbits on about himself. He makes me laugh and wince and sometimes ponder. In his art he puts a mirror up to himself and tells us what he sees. He is in equal measure intolerably self-obsessed and sublimely self-reflective: “After a few months in my parents’ basement, I took an apartment near the state university, where I discovered both crystal methamphetamine and conceptual art. Either one of these things are dangerous, but in combination they have the potential to destroy entire civilizations.” (from Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim) You get the idea. Ironically, in creating his art he has lifted himself out of the alcoholism, drug addiction and mental illness that provided the initial fuel for it. As you cruise through many of the journal entries on RedBubble you will find that Sedaris is not alone in finding his art to be profoundly healing. Try here. I regularly build and fix things at the farm and will often stare back at what I have done. Well-laid concrete will transform a gloomy day. Hours can pass in the creation with my mind at rest. Anxiety or despondency sinks in when I am no longer creating. Or even worse when I constantly measure what I create by what others think of if it or what it may achieve. Farm work isn’t art. Art ponders on the very act of creation itself and reaches towards an even deeper significance. I am going to do a glass blowing course next month. Without RedBubble I doubt I would have sought to journey further into the reflection. Martin (aka Pilgrim)

  What happened? When did I stop making art for me? / Just for me? / The kind that made me twinkle inside and feel like a child? / The kind that made me throw off my shoes and eat spaghetti with a spoon? When did it become more important to live off it than grow from it? / When did all my good ideas start costing something to someone? / And leaving me with nothing? Well that’s it from me. / No more selling myself out, or short. / I’m wiping the diary clean, and starting again. And this time it’s going to be so much fun / It will be a wild ride and I’m not holding on Art for sale right here. / And the price is ‘free’ / And that’s the way I like it / Just smile and I’ve made a profit

  If God doesn’t exist then I really struggle to find a reason why I should be moral unless I am likely to get caught. I suspect Stalin and Hitler felt much the same.

  What a week on redbubble !! I’d just like to express my overwhelming joy and thanks to ALL in the RB community. / My week has been full of highlights and Blessings firstly with “The Covenant”being featured on the Art page. Secondly the sale of two cards of ‘The Covenant’ and ‘Blades on the Locks’, then my image ” The Broken Vessel” being chosen as the avatar for Living Christianity. To top it all off, I opened up redbubble to find that “The Covenant”had made the Home Page!! / I would like to offer my very sincere thanks to everybody who took the time to view “The Covenant” and make ALL those wonderful comments, it really is very overwhelming and somewhat humbling to have such beautiful and genuine comments from a community of very talented people, here on RB !!! / I would also like to express my thanks to those who voted for “The Broken Vessel”, it is real joy to be able to represent the group, like that !! / In regard to “The Covenant” it really was one of those Divine appointments where i was in the right place at the right time to capture “The Magic of the Moment” / The image was taken just after a rainstorm, towards sunset at the close of a rather hot, humid, stormy summer’s day near Geelong, Australia. / Once again thankyou for your wonderful support, / Phil T.

  This is a direct copy of a journal entry I posted to redbubble just over a year ago. From a time when I was bright eyed and bushy tailed and meeting people for the first time who understood me creatively. I think it’s still relevant. I just want to take a minute to let you know where it is I am coming from in terms of my art both visually and written. I have almost no hang ups and laugh in the face of most taboos. My art reflects this and I sometimes push people’s emotional buttons for better or worse. I certainly hope you enjoy my stuff and I do make every effort to ensure those people who do not want to be exposed to it are not. The subjectiveness of art means that I can mean one thing, but it is interpreted as another. In the interests of maintaining the amazing tone and quality of this site I will happily remove any works if requested. I do tend to use myself as a subject, mainly out of a lack of options, but also out of my perfectionist nature. Again this is something that really changes the dynamic of art and as such I am doing my best to tread lightly. I also like to draw from reality which provokes strong reactions. It is harder to confront something if it is personalised and has a context which is meaningful to you. I think this makes art more real and exciting and dangerous and limitless. It can be emotionally draining (and plain terrifying) for the creator but of amazing value to the viewer. I hope I am not the only person who appreciates this perspective on the creation of art. So what is all this getting at? I guess what I’m saying is that I’m trying my best to walk a fine line between making the art I want to make, and doing it in an inoffensive way. If you want to talk to me about it, I welcome and encourage you to do so. Jo
