The SS Dicky was washed ashore onto Dicky Beach in 1893 during a cyclone. It was re-floated, but again, heavy seas turned the ship about and back onto the sand where it remains to this day. / / The suburb and beach was named after the ship. The beach is an unspoilt stretch of sun-drenched sand, on Queensland’s magnificent Sunshine Coast. Taken with my 5D and 16-35mm lens and I was so lucky to have a nature spectacle as the fog rolled in from West creating a mystic ambience I have also written a photographers guide if you are interested in knowing more about this site

Yes, You Can Sell Your Art

The Selling articles detail tactics and marketing channels that you can use to sell your art and design. And while we’ve received great feedback about these practical tips and tricks, this is a good juncture to step back and discuss the mindset and culture of selling art. As a photographer and printmaker, I wish that people would simply see and buy my work. And sometimes this happens. However, an impulse purchase is counter to how many art sales happen. Most enthusiasts and collectors want the same emotion from the art buying experience that they get from from the viewing experience—a connection, a feeling, a memory, an aspiration, etc. After all, relationships sell art. So, what does it take to sell your art? A sampling of RedBubble members that have demonstrated a dedication to this pursuit shared these thoughts. 1. Have confidence and a hint of modesty. You created the artwork or the design and that’s amazing—embrace it. A simple “thank you” can address a compliment. Janis Zroback publishes some very good journal articles about art and selling theory. 2. Talk the talk. Buyers are interested in your background and the story behind the artwork. Feel confident in chatting about your work. Also, ask the viewer questions; get them invested in the work in order to further their interest. If you’re uncomfortable at first, practice your 10-second pitch with a friend or family member. It also helps to have supportive ‘agents.’ Karin Taylor has friends and family members that act as her representatives. Says Karen, “My family members are my biggest advocates. They run out of my business cards all the time and ask for replenishment. They have the guts to go where I am afraid to go and put my case forward, and they do it in a great way, very conversational, without all the nerves.” Karin does a great job herself here on RedBubble, and offers a live chat link from her profile page. This reminded me of a comment last week by Tom Baumker. Tom hands out dozens of business cards per day. Tom meets many sales leads where he photographs “on location.” 3. Join customers on common ground. It’s worthwhile to “join your audience.” Scott Robinson recommends, “I’m a member of a lot of different sites based around things I love. Namely skateboarding and comics – two things that a lot of my work consists of and revolves around. I don’t use these places as somewhere to promote myself, but as an active part of those communities, I do build up relationships there and can make posts of my art (and links back to RB) wherever appropriate. Using discretion of course—no-one likes spam. You have to respect the communities you’re a part of.” 4. Walk the walk. Scott Robinson and Diesel Laws wear their work constantly. For print artists, use greeting cards or printouts to advertise your work. You can print your work on ink jet sticker, label, perforated business card, or photo paper. Pass along these samples at parties or other public events. Marketing doesn’t need to be expensive. Or, simply hang the work on your wall. Bruce Watson noted, “I have actually sold it – Cell Phone – as an RB framed print also, but not on RedBubble. A visitor to my home liked it so much they bought it off the wall!” And finally, 5. Challenge yourself. Entering challenges not only improves your exposure on RedBubble – which encourages feedback and interaction with others – but it also says that you believe in your work. Winning a challenge would be nice, but entering is the first step. As I stated before, selling is a marathon and not a sprint—just like the creative process. Matt Simner captured this best when he said, “Self-promotion is a constant voyage of discovery. I believe a fair percentage of exposure I’ve got (which has overall increased views, etc.) has been a by-product of me just doing what I do naturally (sharing information, giving encouragement, trying to help), rather than explicitly ‘trying’ to get more exposure. Of course when you realise that’s the result, it gives you more ideas…” Please add your thoughts on selling below. Selling isn’t easy for everyone (for most people really), so I hope that this article makes you feel in good company and gives you some inspiration to keep going with it. And one last thing. Thanks to the members that contributed above. I reached out to many other artists whose feedback I’ll note in future posts. I welcome any other thoughts, case studies, tips, tricks – anything you want to share as related to selling. Thank you. Regards, / Jason p.s.

This my version of the popular “It’s Not Lupus” tee. The original drawing was drawn in pencils on paper, and the rest is photoshop. This is a second version of my tee.

TUTORIAL:Add a Slide show to your Redbubble Profile/Bubblesite

Adding a slide show to redbubble Ok not really a slide show but it is very close, It’s an animated gif image. / You can see one My Bubblesite These images can also be linked / Doing this will require you to have software that can make an animated gif image. / And of coarse I know of a free software program that can be used and this tutorial will explain how to do this using this free software. The free software is called / unfreeze and you can Get it here / Once downloaded and installed on your / computer we are ready to go. The first step is to get the images you want to include in your slide show, I am going to use my redbubble images set in frames for my bubblesite homepage. Sign-in to your redbubble account Click “My Bubble” then “Art” find the image you want to include and click the “show public view” Now click the “buy/preview” button / Select the product format you want to use Card, Laminated print, etc.. Then save the image to your computer. Internet Explorer users “Right Click” the image and select “Save Picture As” / Firefox users “Right Click” and select “Save image as” / And choose a location on your PC where you can find it easily. / You can use as many images as you want, but remember you want them to visit your gallery so keep the number of images to a minimum. / I’m going to use 8 images for now. / You can re size your images if you like the Unfreeze software will resize your images to fit in a 375 pixels(high) X 360 pixels(wide) box but the software will not center the image. For those that want their images centered in the box, Use your photo software to edit the images / The software program (unfreeze) that I recommended above requires the images to be in gif format. Doing this in your photo software may be different than mine. But I will open the image in my photo software “Paint.net” and then click the “Save as” option and change the format (type) to gif ( Graphics Interchange Format).They will be saved in the same folder that I put the ones I downloaded from the bubble. Once the images are in the gif format. We are ready to create the animated gif (slideshow) Open the folder where your gif images are located Start “unfreeze” a small window will appear / Drag your images into the white window Then set the delay on the right, I used 60, Make sure the “Loop animation” box is checked Now click the “Make Animated Gif” button Give it a name and Click “Save” To make the images change slower add more than one of the same file The image that I created here was made using three copies of the same image,delay set to 90 / Example: drag and drop “image1.gif”,then do it again drag and drop “image1.gif “ This one has four of the same images and delay set to 60 Now the image can be uploaded to a web site, since Redbubble does not support this file type. You can use “Dropbox” / which is a free file store, share, sync software Get it Here it allows you to have 2 gig of file storage for free. Plus when I change the slide show gif I just created dropbox will take care of the rest. / So changing my slide show is as easy as making a new one and saving it using the same location and name on my pc as the one I’m using now. / Now Insert the new image on your bubblesite or profile / Use the image location (web address,web url) with a ! before and after the image location / For more on Linking images etc. see this post How to Customize Redbubble / And your done. / You can also include these in your description boxes these have been reduced in size A great way to promote your calendars on your bubblesite remember these images can be linked to the buy page. / Happy Bubbling / Dan / Get the Firefox and Internet Explorer Tool bar for Redbubble Here / See more info See all my How-to’s Here Includes “Framed image on Bubblesite home page”, “Adding Calendars to your bubblesite”, “feedjit Live Traffic Feed”, “Using tags on Redbubble”, “Add a visitor counter to your bubblesite or profile page” and More © D R Moore This written work cannot be reproduced or posted on the web without my written permission

Showing off your Calendars - Part I
by John BarrattSo you might have created a new calendar, and even ordered one, but how can you easily show someone else what your calendar look likes….
So you might have created a new calendar, and even ordered one, but how can you easily show someone else what your calendar look likes. You may have seen James post where he is peddling his wares, but you might have also wondered how he did it. For those with a bit of a technical bent, and know how to wield the text formatting used here, here are some pointers that will help get you going to create something like this, which is my ‘Snow’ calendar : We are also looking at being able to provide custom pdf previews of your individual calendars that look like this one for my Snow Gum calendar which you could them email around, or just linked directly to. - To start, this assumes you have a calendar already created, and in mybubble. / / - Go to your calendar via mybubble > calendars > edit > buy/preview. - You will see a preview of the cover page there. You need to view that image on it’s own, and copy it’s url. Different browsers have different ways of doing it, firefox it is right click view image or via ‘copy image location’, safari it is right click view in new window/tab, an IE is via properties I think. Anyway, assuming you can find that, then you can add that cover image to a journal entry, or in the description of other works. - An example of the url is : / http://images-0.redbubble.com/img/calendars/page:0/product:calendar/view:preview/389217-1-snow.jpg - This is can then be shown as an image by putting the url between exclaimation marks like this : !http://images-0.redbubble.com/img/calendars/page:0/product:calendar/view:preview/389217-1-snow.jpg! - From here you can reference all of your other pages by just changing the bit of the URL that says ‘page:0’, this can be ‘page:1’, ‘page:2’ etc up to ‘page:12’. A total of 13 different pages including 0 for the cover page. - If you want to arrange these side by side you can use the vertical bars to create a table on your page. Code like : | !http://YOUR_IMAGE_URL! | !http://YOUR_IMAGE_URL! | / | !http://YOUR_IMAGE_URL! | !http://YOUR_IMAGE_URL! | - For a journal entry I wouldn’t recommend more than two wide. In a nutshell, that’s about it! One thing to note is that if you edit your calendar, then you will need to update the image url, as one part of it (the last number) will change after each edit.

we were all so addicted to spectacle: / the drama of the media and celebrity lives, our / huge cineplexes and large-screen tvs, the / cacophony of arena concerts and the overblown importance / we gave our own silly little struggles. / we were like the romans with their bread and circuses / we were in the colosseum enjoying our pageants and staged conflicts / while all the signs around us were pointing one way: / to our own ruin. / there came a point, however, when we could no longer ignore / the fact that we were addicted to poisoning everything that was vital to us. / food stopped growing in the tainted soil, the air itself became toxic, waters rose and cities fell / you would have thought with our taste for the electrifying harmony of discord / that we would have revelled in it, but it was all so different / when the show finally began. / there was no audience to witness it for we were all playing a part. / we were the ones on the stage, and the / epic tragedies being played out / were now our own lives. / -—-—-—-—-—-—-— / photo taken in juanita de brogas magnet middle school / more of my work is on www.abandonedamerica.org
