  Scott Robinson Illustrator, tee shirt designer and Red Bubble stalwart. Queenslander Scott has crammed a lot into his 31 years most of it based around his two great loves; drawing and skateboarding. / From owning and running two small skate shops in Brisbane to be a major contributor as lead artist for works working with young people done in conjunction with The Queensland Art Council. Scott has mixed his two passions seamlessly. / Scott also has 20 plus skateboard designs in production and has been highly active in exhibitions in Brisbane and recently sold one of his designs in auction to raise funds for NSW Cancer Council at the Across the board Art Expo. / I thought I’d sit down with Scott (in a literal sense) to find out a bit more about what makes him tick? Danny: Skateboarding and art- where they always linked or one passion grew before or with the other? Scot: Well, for me they’re inseparable – I once surmised that “skateboarding is art for the body, art is skateboarding for the mind”. / By that, I mean that skateboarding is a free flowing art form, self evaluated, and self inspired. You don’t rely on a team or an organisation, it’s just you and your board, and however you want to approach the world on it. / Much like a canvas really. Art is skateboarding for the mind, because it gives you a method in which to express yourself, and it takes you wherever you want to go. Again, self motivated, self assessed. / / That, and skateboards themselves have always had a graphic element to them. It’s truly what separates skateboarding from other sports, all boards have graphics, and the art contained on them have always been a HUGE influence on me. So skateboarding and art have always gone hand in hand. / I still think that Skate artists like Vance Courtney Johnson and Jeff Phillips are some of the finest artists of their time. / / Which came first? I think I’ve always drawn, since I could hold a crayon, I’ve been skateboarding seriously since I was 10 years old (I’ve always been a quiet and quite shy kind of person, and liked things I could do by myself,), but i also think that skateboarding made me want to work on drawing to be able to create something that could be seen as “skate graphic worthy” I suppose you mimic those you admire, and I’ve always admired skate artists, and skateboarders in general. Skateboarding, Life, Music, Freinds,..All things influence me really, my art is just me reflecting on either ideas, or inspiration from the world around me.. Danny: Business- are you still involved – Art or skateboarding? Scott: Well, yes and no for both… I still have dealing with Skate Companies for graphics, but I’m not behind the counter anymore. And I do freelance graphic design for a few different places, but it’s more when I want to, than have to. Danny: Anyone with eyes can tell the technical expertise of your drawings, are you a draughtsmen or had any training? Scott: Not really. I’ve never done any real studies in that regard. But one of my first “artistic” jobs out of design school was as a technical illustrator. I worked for a automotive parts manufacturer, and my job was to create instruction manuals. How to fit the parts on etc, etc,. Being as most of their market was overseas, drawings are more universally understandable. Was fun for a while too, but I never want to draw another headlight cover in my life. While i do enjoy manipulating images, nothing comes even close to being as fun and rewarding as picking up some A3 paper and a pencil… Danny: Is Brisbane an artistic environment? Scott: Hell yes! Brisbane’s art scene is so strong right now, and it just motivates me to do anything I can to promote it further. Lot of little independent galleries, all running obscure shows, New art “zines” popping up all the time.. There’s always something arty to find yourself at if you look for them. Even the more commonplace galleries are full. It’s a great place to be artistically right now. / And just to plug some events, recently we had the Paintskate Experiment and the Dex exhibition at the powerhouse in Brisbane, and then we have the upcoming FreQee exhibition held by the same group of artists. (All of these by the way: Scott was a showcased artist). Danny: Skateboarding can’t last forever, bones get brittle- how are you preparing for this? Scott: Flat out denial! Well, that’s not entirely true. The drive to learn new tricks, extend myself further in skateboarding has kind of died of over the last 4 years or so, but the desire to roll, and by that i mean no tricks, just skating in the sunshine, rolling down the street is still as strong as ever.. It`s a beautiful feeling, and I’ve likened it to my own personal magic carpet ride. I don’t ever want to be without that feeling..I should be able to skate like that for as long as I can stand up without falling over. Danny: Red Bubble influence on art. lifestyle? Scott: Well, I do love the T-shirt function, so that’s been a bit of a design consideration for me. And I do love being surrounded with such vibrant personalities and artworks. No man is an island, so I’m sure that it is influencing me to some degree.. / My lifestyle remains the same though; I stick to what I love. August 2007

  Scott Robinson/Resisto Lisa Defazio/Lisadee Collaboration: The Journey 2
  by Lisa Defazio

  When I asked Scott Robinson to rework this image I thought it might prove difficult him handling such a ‘soft’ image.How wrong I was. I love this even more than I can explain, this is my first collaboration and had no idea how blown away I would be by the experience. I have a new level of respect and admiration for you Scott and it was pretty lofty to begin with. A heartfelt Thank you. Scott Robinson

  What happens When Skate art meets DJ Gear Welcome to the Mixmax… / a nifty 2 channel analogue mixer for those on a budget. Offering inputs for 2 CD decks and 2 turntables plus microphone talkback. At a trifling $139 RRP the mixmax has been designed to hook up with the new CDJPRO CD Player providing a snappy DJ setup for minimal layout. / Brisbane skate graphic svengali and Redbubble vector extraordinaire Scott Robinson has provided a unique one off design lending his edgy street graphics to the mixmax in a limited edition face plate. When i asked Scott what he thought about designing a DJ Mixer he told me / “I thought it was great, Really very different than anything I`d done before.. I wondered how it would be received really.” Wait no more Scott because the MIXMAX is available this summer from Lightsounds and all good DJ gear outlets. MANY thanks go to Scott for the first in a series of original artist faceplates on E-Systems Pro DJ gear. JumPy

  Well, Brisbane finally took the plunge and we had our first meet where people actually attended!! The lovely Helen (LittleHelen) arrived at my house at 10am Sunday morning to me still in my pyjamas, so naturally I put her to work in my kitchen :p It rained most of the morning and we were a little disheartened as our meet was a picnic in the Brisbane Botanical Gardens! Luckily by the time we’d driven to Brisbane from the Gold Coast the skies were blue and it was hot and sunny! Helen and I put our balloons up and set up our table just as the first Brisbanite arrived! It was a fun, relaxed, enjoyable afternoon and it was wonderful to finally meet some Brisbane artists.Here’s a few pictures from the day! (Jack01 aka Collie also came with her husband Peter and brother Kev but they unfortunately had to leave before I broke my camera out) drec (Derek) says: always Coca Cola GabrielK listening intently to some profound and philosophical conversation no doubt. (and can I just say these photos don’t do him justice! Really beautiful guy! Romanian and something else if I remember correctly lol) Drec (Derek) tries to come to terms with Kathleen’s psychic powers Kathleen does her best “no really i’m sweet and innocent” face That infamous soccer game! GabrielK pretending he doesn’t know i’m taking (another) picture of him Scott Robinson charges his solar panel for the long walk home Food! Kathleen uses all her jedi mind powers to shrink an unsuspecting guy and his park bench Drec (Derek) has farted and is hoping nobody’s noticed Steven Lippis explains to everyone how his birth defect has impacted upon his life. Gabrielk isn’t interested as he’s perving on that blonde chick in the bikini Helen Every pic I took of Helen is blurry because everytime I went to take a pic of her she’d make me laugh! (And when I dropped her home she invited me in for coffee (wink wink nudge nudge :p) Cake Face! Steven Lippis and the birth defect

  Most people are content to just take a normal photo of themselves when they display what they’ve bought on RedBubble… In my case, being a photographer and also completely psyched whenever RedBubble gives me something of top notch quality, I decided to take a slightly more creative route to my Buyer’s Booth photos…. so much so that one person even commented that I should put them up for sale! Not sure if THAT will ever happen, but enough people ask, I’ll consider it. For now, though, let’s reminisce and enjoy!

  This is a tribute of sorts, although she`ll never see it. / No meaning, no message, just thoughts… Line art only because I think it suits, and colour would give it too defined an edge for a t-shirt. Hope you enjoy.. Pencil & paper, Photoshop and a bunch of hours. Print variation here

  Yesterday the infamous artist formerly known as Resisto unleashed his RES-101 on an unsuspecting community, not only giving us a look at this new and bold creation, but in the true spirit of copyleft, handing over the instructions for all and sundry to assist in the creation of a wind-up army. Having no intention of ever really growing up, I couldn’t think of a better way to pass an hour than to build a big cardboard robot, actually I made it slightly bigger than it was, but only because as you can see my desk hasn’t improved much since the Melbourne days, and RES-101 would have a lot to contend with. In fact, I popped out later on for a copy of ‘Fly Fishing’ by J R Hartley and when I came back RES has escaped the clutter and was trying to shin over the back wall. So I put him in the oven. Now go and make your own and tell Scott he’s a champion. I think we need to mark the spread of the army on a world map.

• What is the Game of Kings?
  by GameOfKings

  !http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pm8nCGRQ1lo/SlFgilP7l6I/AAAAAAAAAFE/OGOofnzMm0g/s200/3367481-2-game-of-kings-wave-one-preview-the-white-king.j…

  The Game of Kings is a collaboration bringing together Red Bubble artists from Australia and the UK. Initially starting out as a series of character-based t-shirts, GoK has expanded to include an accompanying narrative and will be spinning out into other media. The basic theme of the project is the game of chess. The initial brief was that the project’s creator, Simon Sherry, would illustrate the black side of the board, while a team of eight other artists would tackle the white. As the project gathered momentum and the members of the group shared ideas and artwork, a story began to evolve around the pieces in this celestial battleground. With the addition of Danny to the group as ‘biographer’ of this strange cast of characters, this story took on a life of its own, and everyone involved knew that the scope of the Game had grown beyond the cotton canvas. Due to the clever skills and imagination of those involved and the epic scope of the theme, the GoK group are creating a wonderful series of artworks, stories and multimedia to hopefully fire the imagination in others. The first ‘phase’ of this project are the character tees making up the board itself. Every two weeks four pieces of the board will be revealed along with a section of the story, adding another piece of the jigsaw to build a final picture. Accompanying the artwork and writing will be interviews with the people involved, adding further insight into the project, their role in it, and the thought behind their creations. Every other week, previews for the next ‘wave’ of characters will be released, along with other behind-the-scenes material to whet appetites for what’s in store. A blog, facebook page and twitter account is also online, providing fans with updates and additional extras that may not appear in the main Red Bubble profile. The Game of Kings Group on Red Bubble will open its doors in the future to accept members who want to contribute ideas, stories and art as well as compete in competitions that will stretch the boundaries of fun and excitement with prizes worth the effort. The Game of Kings is more than Tee Shirts. It’s wall art and animated story lines, vignettes and artist clashing styles against each other. It’s books and games. It’s audience participation and contribution. It’s something that we hope you can watch grow and enjoy as a whole new world opens up before your eyes in the next few months and beyond. We hope you enjoy the ride! - The GoK Team The GoK team is: Simon Sherry / Scott Robinson / thickblackoutline / rubyred / sjem / quigonjim / Jordan Clarke / Nofrillsart / LilyM / Danny

  Our interviewee this time is Scott Robinson, a man who has been here on Redbubble creating, inspiring and giving since the very beginning. Could you start by telling us a little about yourself ? Do you have a “day” job? A little about myself? Well, yep, I’ve definitely got a day job, I’m a full time graphic designed and illustrator and I run my own little design studio in the evenings. That’s a fair few hours dedicated to designing per day, but it’s the only thing I’ve ever been relatively proficient at. I’m also 100% addicted to coffee, I think those 2 things are related though.. / / Which artists influence or inspire you? Oh, far too many to mention really, I’m really in love with art/design, so anyone that can provoke a response from me gets my admiration. At the heart of things though, It’s all about skate-art for me really. Artists Like Vance Courtland Johnson, Andy Jenkins, Sean Cliver, Neil Blender, A.Hourtley, the Mighty Jim Phillips just to scratch the surfaces. Then there’s people like Jeff Soto & Nate Van Dyke, both of whom I’m currently fascinated with. THEN.. there’s all my comic book heroes, Jack Kirby, Mark Silvestri, Romita’s both junior and senior… there’s just so many people I admire out there. On top of that, there’s all these people I’ve found here at Redbubble that I’ve had to add to that list too. There’s some truly gifted art ninja’s amongst us here. What was your introduction to Game of Kings and what decided you on getting involved? My introduction was that I’d talked to Simon a little while ago about doing some form of collaboration work, and then when he hit me with this tidal wave of an idea for the Game of Kings, I was just blown away, and knew that I wanted to get right into it, as I’d been finding things were getting a little stagnant here at RB, and I don’t know anything that shakes off the blues like throwing yourself head long into a huge melting pot of ideas. I continued to be amazed at every single person involved. It’s been an honour. / What has been most noteworthy about your involvement to date? The people involved are all passionate about what they’re doing, and it inspires you to push yourself harder and harder. With this many people backing you, you want to blow your own doors off.(artistically speaking). Plus they’re all just the most amazing sounding boards for ideas, and everyone’s taking suggestions, incorporating them where they see fit. It’s the truest form of group collaboration I’ve ever witnessed. Is there anything you’d especially like us to know about your characters? Hmm, well I guess I’d like you all to know that while I’ve been the hands that created the lines you’re seeing, the ideas, the concepts, pretty much everything about them has came about organically through this collaborative process. I don’t feel any ownership of them, so much as I shared their creation with everyone. It’s a cool feeling really. / Is there anything else you’d like to add? I just hope everyone can enjoy the works, the stories, the whole grand scale picture that’s been created here. I’d also like to publically thank my fellow collaborators, this has been one hell of a ride! An honour to work beside each and every single one of you.
