Our obsession with product quality can be dangerous. When people receive their orders they normally dance around the room and sometimes let off fireworks inside. The steadier ones among RedBubble customers just put a picture in the buyer’s booth. We aspire to produce the best print on demand T’s in the world. For us it is about quality of final output not maximizing number of T’s produced per hour. John turns strange shades of puce if the colours are not as close to perfect as it is possible to make. And, of course, if you are going to obsess about colours you want to make sure the garment itself is the best in the world. I have a $50 T that I think is just re-badged version of the American Apparel T’s we sell. Check out the detail in fit, stitching and fabric on the Bubble T’s. Freud will tell you to “let the past go”. But not many RedBubble calendars will be tossed at the end of the year. We wanted them to be (almost) as good as a framed print and they cut-the-mustard. I use the cards to promote RedBubble because they are little affordable pieces of art. I am not alone in thinking this. The wall art is made to be good enough to hang in a gallery (its printed on archive quality materials). In your home it should delight you every day until your children inherit it. We aim to produce remarkable products and obsess about every element. You are proud of your art and we honour this with our dedication to reproducing it. Inevitably sometimes things will go wrong, things get damaged in shipping or a size is wrong. We will never accept a bad customer experience and will do everything possible to make it right including a full money back guarantee. —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- And finally, RedBubble is converging on 100,000 members. If you have graphic design skills or just like working with fruit check out the challenge here. Martin (aka Pilgrim)

The 2009 Rip Curl Women’s Pro was held over the Easter Weekend at Bells Beach. Saturday morning was cold, plenty of sea spray to coat my lens with, (I didn’t have a cleaning cloth), but the waves were okay, not huge, but good enough for a contest. These are some of the women that competed…. unfortunately I didn’t see the eventual winner Silvan Lima while we were there, but we did see Layne Beachley get knocked out of the competition by young Sally Fitzgibbons… this quite possibly was the last time that Layne will compete here as she announced her retirement recently / / / 1 ~ this is what it’s all about / / / 2 ~ the temporary grandstand starts to fill / 3 ~ Alana Blanchard heads in for a practice… / / / 4 ~ as does Layne Beachley / 5 ~ see ….here she is / / / 6 ~ Rebecca Woods… / / / 7 ~ ..and Chelsea Hedges also have a practice run / / / 8 ~ thats enough for Alana Blanchard / / / 9 ~ and one last check for Layne Beachley / / / 10 ~ the crowd waits now for the Heats / / / 11 ~ Rebecca Woods is eager / / / 12 ~ Paige Hareb looks determined / / / 13 ~ Jessi Miley-Dyer looks a tad nervous / / / 14 ~ Amee Donohoe jumps right in / / / 15 ~ Jacqueline Silva waits / / / 16 ~ Nikki Van Dijk looks cold (it was by the way) / / / 17 ~ Sally Fitzgibbons just wants to beat Layne …. / / / 18 ~ ...and Layne Beachley is just…. / / / 19 ~ ...happy to be there / / / 20 ~ now she’s getting serious… / / / 21 ~ ....see ! / / / 22 ~ but so is Sally Fitzgibbons / 23 ~ and Coco Ho…. what a great name /

I’ve just learned that Michael Jackson died after suffering cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home, according to multiple reports. / Paramedics were called to his home this afternoon but when they arrived, he had no pulse and after repeated attempts to revive him, he was pronounced dead. At the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive. He was 50 years old. I’ll never forget stuff like this ...or that So f** sad! ZOMBIE

Today I received my delivery of Calendars.. a good thing you might think?? However, I had to pay, at the door, an additional amount of £24.76 G.B.P… this is on an order that originally only cost me £27.00 GBP.!!!! This was a charge made by the good old British Government covering Import VAT and charges. So my fellow Bubblers beware the Great British rip-off!.. My calendars have each cost me almost double the original price.. I am so disappointed.. Bahhhh Humbug!

I knew times were tough but why this. My good friend Peter Brook II took his own life yesterday January 11, 2009 at 12:30 PM. Dam it you gave us no clues, how could you do this to us. He is the reason my daughter was able to get into cheerleading. We just talked last week and he was suppose to come by Monday or Tuesday night and pick up a computer I was working on for him. Nancy called him up to invite him to dinner last night but it was already too late. This is the first friend I have lost this way. We called each other brothers, man does this hurt. I will always ask what more could I have done. I will always wonder what if. So if I don’t comment on your work for the next couple of days, I’m not ignoring you. I’m just hurting and having a real tough time losing a good friend. Your friend / Troy W. Smith

On June 4, 2009, David Carradine was found dead in his room at a hotel in central Bangkok, Thailand. He was found hanging by a rope in the room’s closet with a shoelace tied around his genitals and neck!!! Police claimed that it was an accidental death involving autoerotic asphyxiation and no other persons were involved with the death. Nevertheless it has been said that his hands were tied behind his back. / / He was born in 1936, son of the great american actor John Carradine, and he was best known for his work in the 1970s television series Kung Fu and more recently in the Kill Bill films. / He was in Bangkok to shoot his latest movie, Stretch.

Ashleigh was my first baby. / unfortunately we lost him before he was born. today would of been Ashleighs birthday. / If we hadnt of lost him, he would of been born n the 26th may. / years ago today. Ashleigh Ash was such a fighter! / He really hung in there for as long as he could. / Everyone kept saying to me that we would probably lose him, with all the blood i kept losing, with all the pain, but still my belly kept growing, in the ultrasounds, i could see his little fingers moving / he was such a fighter / right until the end he fought for so long that my doctor started getting hope… but we still lost him… I’m dealing better about it than last year, and the year before… / but i still cant not cry.. I am so so happy i have zafyre, my daughter, she is so special! / I like to think that everything happens for a reason, i try to tell myself that so i can deal better. / If ashleigh hadnt of died, then zafyre would not be here. / I think Ashleigh made the ultimate sacrifice so his sister could be here, because y’see i got pregnant with zafyre only a few months after losin my ash, and so if ashleigh had of made it, my little girl wouldnt be here, and she is my world! every year i light a candle for my little ash, tell him mummy and daddy and zafyre love him very much, have a cry, and then its a new day… i like to believe that he is somewhere safe, better than here, somewhere where he is surrounded by love, and can look down on us, his family who will never ever forget him and know that we love him so much.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but I can’t help not to mention the great Sky “Sunlight” Saxon’s passing. He was the leader of the great Los Angeles 60s garage rock band, The Seeds. / / During the next decade he became a member of the religious group The Source Family, that’s when he became Sunlight. He was an active musician during all these years with a big amount of records released and countless gig played around the globe. / He recently tour Europe with a new Seeds line up by his side and his last noticeable appearance was as a guest in the latest Smashing Pumpkins video for their terrific new track Superchrist. He’ll be greatly missed. ZOMBIE

This morning my trusty Canon 30D had it’s light go out forever after tumbling into the ocean. I was a quick and sudden departure and neither of us were expecting to part company so my mourning is deep and personal and as I sit here I feel as though a part of me is missing. As a result, I am reducing EVERYTHING by 10% as I am now trying to bridge the gap between insurance and a replacement companion… a small comfort but I am sure this is what my trusty 30D would want me to do.

I only now feel able to write about Louisa, Katie’s cat. If you remember back in May she had to have an eye removed, all went well and she started to recover but then a tooth boke and became infected and her face swelled up. She was back and forth to the vets for various things and on Friday had surgery, it was discovered she had a tumor that had spread and made her teeth fall out and her face to dissolve, anyway we had to make the hard decision to have her put to sleep. It was the kindest thing as she had gone totally blind which she could have gotten used to but she was no longer able to eat. I’ve found it hard because she was only young about 5 years old, and she still came to me at the vets when I called her and purred like crazy as we stroked her. Katie and I stayed with her and said our goodbyes as she was injected and we carried on stroking her until she went to sleep…...... Louisa 2002 – 1 August 2008 RIP Dedicated to Louisa
I hope this is a warning to anyone…
I hope this is a warning to anyone who is thinking of buying a camera on eBay. A couple of weeks ago I sold a camera on eBay. The instructions to the buyer was to deposit the funds directly into my bank account. Sadly, he didn’t do that, but put them in my PayPal account. As I didn’t have a bank registered with PayPal I could not access them. Plan A was to buy a Canon EOS 50D Premium Kit from one of the local camera stores. I had one on the hold shelf waiting. Plan A fell into a hole. Rather than wait the time to register a bank with PayPal, get my funds, and buy my camera locally, I decided to buy one of eBay. I found a 50D kit at a reasonable price, which incidentally was slightly more expensive that I could buy it from my trusty local camera shop. (I won’t tell you who the shop is … Photographic Wholesalers in Adelaide. :-o They are good.) Anyway, I purchased a Canon 50D, 18-200mm lens, and BG-E2 Battery Grip from, what looked like a reputable eBay shop. They claimed to have 3 cameras on hand and they were located in Melbourne. I paid my AU$2850 within minutes of committing to buy the goods. That was 12 days ago – it has been a long 12 days. The day after I made the purchase I emailed the seller and got no response. Two days after I made the purchase I again emailed the seller. Same result. Three days after, eBay delisted the seller from their site and my purchased goods disappeared from my “Won Items” folder on my eBay account. Thankfully I purchased with PayPal, but a resolution was far from happening quickly. PayPal do provide guarantees against being ripped off, but it is a very slow and tedious process. About 5 days after the sale, after PayPal and eBay had contacted the seller, I received an email saying he would honour the sale and send me the Camera, Lens and Battery Grip. That was a week ago. Last thursday the seller again promised to send my goods, but said he was waiting to receive stock. (He did say he had 3 on the shelf). He promised to send them on Friday. On Friday he promised to send them Saturday or Monday… Do you see a theme happening here? I have to say that both eBay and PayPal were initially very responsive and helpful. All I can hope for is a resolution of this saga before too much longer. I do have my Dad’s original 110mm bellows film camera that was made in the 1930s, and I may be using it for my main camera! So anyway, buyer beware. Paul

As many of you might know that I’m maintaining a STOCK account at deviantart, it came to our (with other deviantart stockists) knowledge that our stocks have been ripped off by an arabic site, with visitors from mostly the Egypt and Saudi Arabia area. The IP address originated from Dallas, Texas for some reason. Gulfson.com The site has stolen many stock images, textures, and brushes from various stock deviants on DA, and who knows from where else. None of these works were reposted with permission. There was not even a notification of the site reposting the works, and no link back to the original artist either. There are more than 600 pages of stolen textures, with 9 thumbnails on each page. I found mine (see photo below). If anyone here knows Arabic, we would all appreciate it if you could contact the administrator of the site at qy9r@yahoo.com The email might not even go through, but it’s worth a try. Here’s some more info on the website Any help would be appreciated. To REDBUBBLERS I’m granting permission for you to use my stocks from there. But be mindful of the terms of use. (posted on the frontpage). /

03 August 2008 / Alexander Solzhenitsyn, RIP The death of Alexander Solzhenitsyn in Moscow tonight, at age 89, brings an end to the most dramatic literary career of our time. How thrilling it was to read his words, in the pages of the New York Times, when events compelled him to authorize the publication of The Gulag Archipelago, at risk to life and limb, in 1974. The work survives as his indelible testament, a book that helped change the course of history. He was a writer of incredible bravery, spirit and determination. RIP.

Held in honour of Michael Peterson (MP) considered the best surfer of Kirra of all time. Taken from Wikipedia but i cant get the link working: Michael Peterson (born 24 September 1952), known as MP, is an Australian surfer. He was among the best Australian surfers in the early to mid 1970s, noted for his deep tube riding skill, especially at Kirra on the Gold Coast. He was Australian champion in 1972 and 1974 and won many other major surfing competitions. Schizophrenia (only eventually diagnosed) and drugs cut short his career and his surfing became the stuff of legend. Many of the details of Peterson’s life remained obscure until Sean Doherty’s biography MP: The Life of Michael Peterson was published in 2004 (on which this article is primarily based). This year he was present in the commentary box and made the presentation. My photos from the competion can be found here / MP in the flesh.

25 June 2009. Aged 50. / I’ve been a Jackson fan all my life. When I was young my parents were always putting his records on for me. There was something so incredibly captivating about his performances. He was by far, to me, THE greatest entertainer of all time. It’s such a shame. But what a fantastic legacy. / Some of my earliest memories are of me dancing like a mad thing in our living room to Off The Wall and Thriller. If ever there were a soundtrack to my life you can guarantee the majority of it would be his. / It feels so surreal, and just the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. / It’s amazing how already there is an emptiness and a gaping hole he filled until yesterday. I think that speaks volumes.

I’m starting to run out of things to say because a thankyou still sounds like a thankyou… no matter how you say it… so once again a HUGE THANKS to the latest buyer of the Heath Ledger t-shirt… me love you long time! An interesting fact for the readers is that in Australia… when searching the term ‘heath ledger t-shirt’ in Google… my design pops up fourth in the list… which means it has risen from around 7th around the last time I checked (if I remember correctly)... how cool is that?! If you have a spare 20 seconds… do a search in your browser and let me know what you get… I wonder if it’s the same or better/worse in other parts of the world… and in other search engines that I do not use such as MSN or Yahoo or Altavista or whatever… be interesting to know.
