A Response to Email Chain Letters....from the heart!

Here’s a response to all the emails we receive warning and advising us on what to do and not do in order to lead more happy fulfilled and prosperous lives:- / ........ / Dear All My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this past year…..... I must send my thanks to whoever it was who sent me the one about cockroach eggs in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I now have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have a lot of savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown); who is about to die in hospital for the 1,387,258th time. In fact I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the £15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program ….. Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants me to split £7 million with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died. I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa’s novena has granted my every wish. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes – and I don’t even belive in God – go figure that one!! Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains – just as well really! I no longer can buy petrol without having to watch and make sure that a serial killer won’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up and later grab me from behind whilst drawing a jagged edged blade across my throat. I no longer go to shopping centres because someone will drug me with a male deodorant sample and rob me after using me as a sex toy – (this doesn’t sound too bad actually come to think of it!! :)) I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan – posing as Borat on the other end of the line! Thanks also, cause now I can’t use anyone’s toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum. And thanks to the great advice I’ve been sent, I can’t even pick up the £5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by a pervert molester waiting underneath my car waiting to grab me and have his way with me. If you don’t send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhoea will land on your head at 5:00pm this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour’s ex-mother-in-law’s second husband’s cousin’s beautician. By the way….a South American scientist after a lengthy study has discovered that people with low IQ who have infrequent sexual activity always read their e-mails with their hand on the mouse. Don’t bother taking it off now, it’s too late Oh and an utterly Preposterous New Year to All xxx / / / Suzanne German – December – 2007.

Mother Earth gave the Red People a special gift of Turtle Island (North America): They were charged with the responsibility of being Caretakers of this vast land and were given much wisdom and knowledge as regards its care and preservation. An Elder once said, “We are the environment and the environment is us. We deal with all of nature as equal members of the universal family. We go to the mountain, we go into the mountain, we become the mountain – never trying to overcome it, but always being part of its energy.” -the land was then simply taken from the First Peoples, and quickly became a marketable commodity by which great riches could be gained. As humans we need to look around and inside of ourselves and learn from this. It was never the intention of Mother Earth for the land to have no meaning except for what it could bring monetarily. - We need to embrace Mother Earth with pureness, dignity, peace and constructive energy so that together we can save what is left of her. When we walk the walk with the twin elements of Knowledge and Courage, (knowledge of the importance of the Land to our living world, and courage to save it), all things are possible. Remember, ‘With Dominion Comes Responsibility’ – Sena.

Write to your MP to ask them to sign it. Our local MP, Frank Field, has already done so. / / UPDATE 18th Apr 08 – I wrote to my local MP, Frank Field, and he said to write to the Home Office, let him see a copy of the letter and he would follow it up.

What Makes You Think Your Art is Good Enough?
by Stephen MitchellWhat makes you think your art is good enough to upload to RedBubble? 1 Gut instinct? / This is the best way to know if your art, ...
What makes you think your art is good enough to upload to RedBubble? 1 Gut instinct? / This is the best way to know if your art, writing, or photography is good. For photographers, we simply know when the shot matches what we were trying to achieve. For writers, it’s when we write from the heart. For artists, and I mean people who manipulate binary-pixels as much as I mean painters etc, I imagine you know when your art has reached its point where it cannot be modified any further without ruining it. That’s right, ruining the final result. / Gut instinct tells you when you have just reached that pinnacle and achieved the art you imagined in the first place or saw through the view-finder. 2 Did someone in your family like the shot? / Trust me, I know from bad experience that relying on the opinion of family (to tell me what makes a GREAT shot) is never a good idea. As much as they believe in your artwork, they cannot see through your eyes. / I only upload a few distinctly better shots to RedBubble out of every few hundred. I might shoot between twenty and a hundred photographs from the one location, but I know almost immediately if it was a good shot or not. On occasion I only have to take one shot to get THAT shot, the one that gets shown to you, my friends and my family. What makes you think your art is good enough to have printed? 1. You received 1,000 ‘Oh, Nice!’ Comments ? / Nope, this is not a good enough reason. Your art needs to be an extension of who you are. Despite what you see here on RedBubble, your art should not be a popularity contest, nor a multitude of ‘nice’ comments. Much as I enjoy getting a few nice words about my work, I’ve recently learned that unless the person actually says something constructive, unique and interesting about the actual photograph … the comment may just be a stock answer to everything they see here. NOTE: OK, so sometimes it can be difficult to put into words what you like about some one else’s art, but at least say something unique. Yes, my photography of flowers have DOF, POV, macro-detail, lots of colour and are ‘hot’, ‘cool’, ‘wow’, and ‘whippitycrack’. Now tell me WHY you like it, WHAT it is that makes it good and HOW many you are going to purchase! :D 2. Only you can know if your art is worth selling on RedBubble. / Do you think someone would purchase it as a card? Or are you just showing off an image that you want others to consider before you commit to it? Ok, so we all do that occasionally. I’m not saying it’s wrong to upload the incomplete and unfinished, but this is RedBubble. It’s not just a community, forum and friend-making location: It’s an online print-shop. 3. Don’t be concerned with anyone’s opinion before presentation. / Upload those few shots you really believe capture what you were attempting. If you really believe the art is good, show it to the RedBubble world the whole internet. Because everyone online and offline is now going to see you and your art. RedBubble is a name, not a fortified location. Our comments, words, suggestions, responses, queries and ‘drool’ will be carbon copied across the planet and archived on the “WWW” Today I shot 5GIG of photographs in 5 hours. / I had a day in the Adelaide CBD, revisiting previous locations, visiting a few new places and discovering new things at each location that I did not see the first time! This added up to around 1,000 photographs. / ... I’ll be the first to admit that less than 200 are any good. / ... Less than 60 are very good. / ... I’ve uploaded only TWO of them to RedBubble. I might add a few more. / ... SEVEN have been loaded to my flickr gallery . All are getting lots of traffic, with very few comments. Just the way I like it. Each of those photographs got some pixel-manipulation. Yes, I do, when necessary. Each of those photographs were one of a several exactly the same … but I decided that one would serve the purpose I was looking for. / I didn’t ask anyone on RedBubble or Flickr if they would like to see it : I made that decision while perusing them on my 500GIG HD. A lot were shot purely because I like architecture, but many were shot because I figured they’d look good as a card or framed image. One of them is a test-image, to see the response/traffic rate. See if you can pick it. 4. Would you delete or replace a photograph if enough people said they didn’t like it? / Seeing as how so many of us rely on the comments of others to fulfill our online life, IF someone was to suggest a fault, change, modification or complete make-over of your art work, would you? I believe I might change an image. I have certainly changed my opinion on pixel-manipulation! I know I’d delete an image, but only from the RedBubble-database. I’ve done that several times. Where’s your thoughts on this? You’ll notice I rarely make comments on other people’s art. There is a LOT of great work on RedBubble. I just don’t have the time to tell you. Anyhow, you know your work is good. Or you would never have taken the time to put it on RedBubble …. right?

spring and responsibility
by kathleenThe sun is beating like a drum / Yet floating on a breeze
-
I took this a few weeks ago in Toolangi State Park on the way back from visiting Murrindindi Cascades. At the time there were numerous burn-offs happening across the state making the sky a little hazy. I am against the wholesale wood chipping of old growth forest on a mass scale for export at around $8 to $11 (as I remember) a tonne. That practice for me equates to outright vandalism not to mention a complete abuse of our custodial responsibilities to the land. At the same time I can’t say I’m militantly against all logging. The fact is we need wood and if it is managed responsibly then quite frankly I would prefer it to happen here than in some third world country where some multi national pays some poor village $30,000 before extracting millions worth of wood in a way that permanently decimates the local ecosystem. The development of ecoforestry principals and the ability to buy wood that is certified to conform to these standards is certainly a move in the right direction (the fact that recycled paper is becoming more common and easy to get hold of is also a promising development). A less wood reliant culture would be better, but in the meantime… This particular coop was relatively small and numerous old growth trees were left to allow some sort of continuity for the local wildlife. The burn itself stimulates regrowth so although in a way I find this image shocking it is not as abhorrent as many of the alternatives. Comments/ opinions welcome. Addendum: / The feature front page article in the Sunday Age today (25/5/08) is an article celebrating the running out of the final license to log native forests in the Otway Ranges on friday (23/5/08). Interestingly enough a ‘greenie’ and ‘logger’ mates were interviewed with the logger admitting that the ceasation of logging was partly the loggers fault because they weren’t doing it sustainably. There is still an enormous amount of plantation wood up there (pine trees) but it is a significant end of an era indeed. To check out other shots from this area see my Yarra Valley gallery. For other environmentally themed shots check out my Conservation gallery. 10% of all profits go to the Wilderness Society

My Artist's Statement on The Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series
by Mariam MuradianArtist’s Statement I …
Artist’s Statement I am Mariam Muradian, the Artist/Painter of The Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series. This is my statement. I was born an Artist. My Father was a cellist, artist, mathematician, and composer. My Mother was a concert pianist who wanted to be a doctor (who later attended the University again in her 50’s and became an HIV/AIDS researcher.) My parents always encouraged and nurtured my gift. I am a formally trained artist, alumni of The School of The Art Institute of Chicago and La Universidad Literaria de Salamanca, Leon, Spain, among other fine institutions of higher learning. My degrees/course work is in Fine Arts, Foreign Languages & Literature, Linguistics, International Studies, Educational Leadership: Instructional Technology Systems Design, Cognitive & Behavioral Science, Human/Computer Interface Design. I have had many opportunities in my life; have lived and studied many places in the world. My collaborations with C.C. Arshagra on this Genetic Bill of Rights Painting Series, and other art/life endeavors, have been the most rewarding and important of my career and of my life’s contribution to the human race. I immediately knew how important it was to paint the Genetic Bill of Rights when C.C. introduced the idea to me in 2006. I was uniquely qualified in that I have dealt with a rare, aggressive metabolic disease my entire life. As I progressed through the series, I progressed through blindness, a side effect from a prescribed heart drug. I am 100% dependent on a multi-lead permanent pacemaker; I am a cyborg and thus I have been wrestling with and living these precepts/choices my entire life. Art at its best mirrors life and gives hope to those who will see. When you see the Genetic Bill of Rights, you realize that these and all rights come down to the individual, because if you don’t have control of your body, you can’t master anything outside yourself. We all interface with technology at different levels. Individually, whether the circumstance is deciding on medical care or replacement/enhancement, ethics, policy, life or death, the food we eat, or simply how to survive while living in a developing country; we each must grow into a level of accountability where we can assert our rights in regards to those choices. “Choice is will.”~ C.C. Arshagra If you don’t know that such rights exist, you’re not going to be able to make a choice/decision when you’re confronted with that technology, on whatever level. For your YES to be yes, and your NO to be no, for any combination of grey thereof, or for any foundation of belief ….you must know your fundamental rights. I consider this series my most significant artistic and social achievement. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to paint these. I trust that these artworks will go on to freely live, travel, and speak their intended message to inform, inspire, and motivate responsible species of the biodiverse world.
