I was dragged by my beloved to one of those shopping centers/malls that seem to engulf an entire suburb. If you’re in Melbourne, you know which one. It’s been a couple of years since I bought a tee in a retail store (sites like RedBubble make it so much easier) so I decided I’d go check out what’s available in local stores… Pretty much the same crap on offer years ago. Apparently all you need to do to make fashionable tees is pick a font, type nothing particularly meaningful (you get bonus points if you just mash the keyboard with your fist), apply a worn-out grungy look to it (yes, it’s vintage!), print it on the crappiest garment you can buy, then apply a generous profit. So here it is. My non-violent, passive, profiteering protest to retail tee design in Melbourne for the last 3 years. It’s Nothing Much, but apparently this is okay with the masses.

“Retail Therapy” is a homage to our love / hate relationship with all things shopping. Beginning with the consumer handing out their credit card in the foreground, and ending with a shop-keeper’s open hands in the background. One to collect the card, and the other with a slot in the palm where the money should go. / The contemporary shopping experience has taken over where the Hunter/Gatherer has left off… Oil on Stretched Canvas – No Airbrushing 36 X 54 inches / 92 X 135 cm Original : / $3500 AU – excluding p&p from Melbourne, Australia / contact my Agents at Gallery 112 / .................................................................................

Got a brochure in yesterday’s mail – did it catch my interest? Yes / Did it seem like a good deal? Yes / Was the deal from my existing internet/home phone provider? Yes / Did I ring the number they said to ‘simply call’? Yes / Did I wait long for my call to be answered? Yes / Did the first person to answer transfer my call? Yes / Did the second person transfer my call? Yes / Did the third person transfer my call? Yes / Did I have trouble hearing and ask where they were based? Yes / Was it India? Yes / Was the fourth person taking my call also in India? Yes / Was the fifth person, who by now I could hardly hear at all, also in India? Yes / Was I shouting not from frustration, but just trying to make myself heard (or perhaps understood)? Yes / Did I actually get any information about the deal – um … NO / Did I get anyone willing to help – NO / Do I feel inspired to stay with this laughingly-referred-to service provider NO / Am I now shopping for a new internet and phone company YES and by the way, are we suckered by cute ads with furry creatures – YES

Ditto with Jo OBrien - Cards are a Visual Stimulant
by Stephen MitchellOriginally to be posted as a comment at Jo O’Briens article entitled Selling Greeting Cards Through Stores...
Originally to be posted as a comment at Jo O’Briens article entitled Selling Greeting Cards Through Stores (22 July 2007), but it grew too big! Jo said: / Too many people give their cards different prices when in the eye of the customer they all look pretty much the same I totally agree. / Be consistent. Stick to it. If the work is quality, you can increase the price on your cards, either individually or as a pack. But never drop the retail value. That’s like dropping your standards. Jo said: / Recently I bought a bunch of RedBubble cards and gave them all to friends. The response was amazing. They all got online to find more! Next step for me is to buy a bunch of my own cards and find excuses to give them to people. I did this with my recent purchases . / I only bought 30 of my cards. Gave 4 to close friends as gifts. Then my friends bought my stock within a few minutes. Thankfully I had enough remaining for family! I plan to purchase about 100 more … just before Christmas! Wherever I meet friends and family .. I promote my work. You are correct … with an ABN, a stamped receipt book, a stack of business cards … we become business people. Jo also has a great idea to pack each card in plastic for retail presentation, plus a great way to convince retailers to take some stock for their shop! I’m working on an idea for putting framed works in local eateries/cafés, so Jo OBrien has provided very good reading !

Redbubble needs to sell baseball caps for the photographers. / I need to replace my current hat … and I want the RB log on it. So I have compiled a few Australian hat wholesalers that have products that could supply the hats, even the embroidery/sewing work! [01] a1apparel.com.au/ / Because we work/live in a democracy, here are two more Australian companies who could also provide a quality cap: [02] freshcaps.com.au/ / [03] raveoncaps.com.au/ / Yeah, I am naughty to put this out in the public domain … but I want the opinion of Redbubble members on this issue. Also because most wholesalers sell in minimum amounts of 100 caps, I need 99 more people to stand together as one! / ( We are the world, we are the children... oh oh oh wwwooo ) Come on, it’s worked before: Speak as one to get results. The Jedi would have loved to have this much power.

Buy a Manfrotto Tripod and Ball-Head

Today we purchased the very cool and suave Manfrotto 190X PROB Tripod from The Photographic Wholesalers (47 Hutt Street Adelaide). This cost a little more than we intended to spend, but it’s proved a worthy investment already. We also purchased the most amazing Manfrotto 222 . This is totally amazing ‘Grip-Action Ball Head with a Quick-Release Plate’. That’s the product description, but as usual it doesn’t say much. Here’s my review of both: Manfrotto 222 (Grip-Action Ball Head with a Quick-Release Plate) This amazing tripod-head has a handle-grip that initially takes a bit of effort to use, so it pays to turn the tension adjustment point till it matches your finger-strength. I was amazed at how quick it was to manoeuvre. It can be spun 180 degrees around, 90 degrees forward and backward from the upright position. Plus the centre-pole is easily changed to horizontal. I didn’t think I’d find a use for that … but when you need/want to sit down to take a shot there are big advantages. Considering it can handle up to 2.5kilograms of weight, it will certainly have no trouble with most dSLR’s. Both the Tripod and The Ball-Head have bubble-levels that ensure your horizon is evenly horizontal, even when in steep or rough terrain. Manfrotto 190X PROB Tripod This is one amazing tripod that will allow you to shoot from locations that you previously thought were too difficult to access! Originally I’d wanted a tripod with flexible ball-joints on the feet also … but after using this combination tripod/head in the Adelaide Hills late this afternoon, I was pleased to find the legs will stick in bracken, mud, and rock-face quite securely. Yes, I tested all these options just to get to a particular location. There’s only one downside, but this only effects the non-passionate photographers: Made of cast aluminum, it weighs a lot, I estimate around three kilos. Mind you, that’s with a Canon EOS 400D with a ‘Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm 1:2.8 USM’ which is heavy enough on its own! But the tripod is easy to grasp and carry. Two legs of the tripod have a rubber-finish to the upper-strut that are easy on the hands! Well, I hope that helps sell a few more of these great Tripods! Adelaidians have a variety of camera retailers to choose from, but I have my favourite places as you can see! Oh, most importantly: My lovely wife made me a Tripod Bag . It is made of strong material, has a zipper up one side and has a shoulder strap. Want one? / Cost: $30. P&H $5 / Seriously! Offer only open to Australians.
