Sparks of hot molten steel are ejected as Weston-super-Mare’s blacksmith Nathan Bennett re-forms a freshly heated strip of iron. Nathan was happy for me to stand at a safe distance while I worked hard to click in synchrony with his hammer strikes. In the film era this would have been a much more expensive exercise, for sure! I’ve had lots of great feedback from this photo (in other places as well as on RedBubble) and I was pleased to give Nathan a RedBubble-laminated print as a thank-you gift. / . / A HUGE Thank You to the People At Work Group for featuring this photo in Sept/Oct 2009! / . /

What a cool sighting this was as I was walking along in Williamsburg, NY in April 2007 when I stumbled on these three in reading and listening mode. It was refreshing to see. LISTENING SKILLS / We were given two ears but only one mouth. / This is because God knew that listening was twice as hard as talking. People need to practice and acquire skills to be good listeners, because a speaker cannot throw you information in the same manner that a dart player tosses a dart at a passive dartboard. Information is an intangible substance that must be sent by the speaker and received by an active listener. / THINGS TO REMEMBER / If you are really listening intently, you should feel tired after your speaker has finished. Effective listening is an active rather than a passive activity. / When you find yourself drifting away during a listening session, change your body position and concentrate. Your body position defines whether you will have the chance of being a good listener or a good deflector. Good listeners are like poor boxers: they lead with their faces. / Meaning cannot just be transmitted as a tangible substance by the speaker. It must also be stimulated or aroused in the receiver. The receiver must therefore be an active participant for the cycle of communication to be complete.

There are so many tips’n’tricks, tutorials, enhancements and various other interesting articles listed around Redbubble. I’ve decided it is time to revitalise the articles I have written. / Why?

I believe my documents cover the many issues necessary to run a successful redbubble gallery, allowing artists to successfully present their portfolio to all clientele.

Meet Pebbles a new edition to the family. The cat (Felis catus), also known as the domestic cat or house cat to distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small predatory carnivorous species of crepuscular mammal that is valued by humans for its companionship and its ability to hunt vermin, snakes, scorpions, and other unwanted household pests. It has been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years. A skilled predator, the cat is known to hunt over 1,000 species for food. It can be trained to obey simple commands. Individual cats have also been known to learn on their own to manipulate simple mechanisms, such as doorknobs and toilet handles.Cats use a variety of vocalizations and types of body language for communication, including meowing, purring, “trilling”, hissing, growling, squeaking, chirping, clicking, and grunting.Cats may be the most popular pet in the world, with over 600 million in homes all over the world. They are also bred and shown as registered pedigree pets. This hobby is known as “cat fancy”.

7 Tools and 3 Essential Skills Every Artist Needs to be Successful Online

What does it take to be a successful artist online? Hard work? Unique art? Good networking skills? Yes, yes, and yes, but if you’re looking for something a little more concrete the following list includes seven helpful tools and three essential skills which I believe every online artist should try to acquire. 1. A good digital camera If you want your art to look as good as possible online (as every artist should!) you’ll need a high-quality digital camera—I’d suggest 8 megapixels or higher. And of course, a good camera is important not only when taking photos for your online portfolio, but also when capturing images for your art blog or emailing a client pictures of the progress you’ve made with their commission piece. 2. Your own art blog In my opinion, blogging is the single greatest tool for any online artist. It can feel like a full-time job all by itself, but it’s the absolute best way for ONE artist to reach hundreds, thousands, even millions of people— and it doesn’t have to cost you a dime. I’ve written about this before, though, so check out these 9 reasons why every artist should have an art blog. If that doesn’t convince you, nothing will. 3. Your own online portfolio Art blogs are great for showing works-in-progress, daily paintings, and posting art thoughts and opinions, but if you want to show off your art a little more “professionally,” a personal portfolio website will do just that. There are many providers of artist websites… naturally, I’m most familiar with my own company, foliotwist, which provides a simple art website solution for artists (and it also comes with its own integrated blog). FineArtStudioOnline and Artspan are two other providers reviewed by EmptyEasel in the past, and I’d suggest taking a look at them as well. You might also want to read about the two types of artist websites to avoid. 4. Adobe Photoshop Whether you need to adjust the color in a photo or just resize your images for the web, the professional’s choice for image manipulation is Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is expensive, however, and has a fairly steep learning curve so you might want to consider Photoshop Elements (a cheaper, lighter version) or GIMP, a free image manipulation program (which is also tricky to learn, however). 5. A free PayPal account This one’s almost a no-brainer: PayPal takes all major credit cards, it’s reliable, and it’s extremely easy to set up and use. Yes, there are other options for collecting payment online (I’ve used ProPay as well) but PayPal has the lowest fees and it’s also well-known around the world. 6. A mailing list and monthly newsletter This can be as low-key as you’d like, but it’s very important that you give interested people a way to stay informed about your art. All you have to do is include a short sentence somewhere prominent on your website that goes like this: “If you’d like to receive email updates from me about my art, write to me at-” and end with your email address. Over time your mailing list will grow, and you’ll be able to use it to promote new artwork, upcoming shows, or anything else. And if you’re new to newsletters, here’s a lot more information on how to increase sign-ups for your newsletter as well. 7. A Google Analytics account Once you’ve got your own art blog or website set up, you’ll probably want to make sure all that effort was worth it. With Google Analytics you can keep track of how many visits you receive each day, where your visitors are coming from, and a lot of other helpful information. Google Analytics is absolutely free even though it’s a professional-grade program with some serious power behind it. Google’s also done a great job at making it easy to use and understand, so you’ll experience the practical benefits right away. 8. Decent writing ability You don’t have to churn out prize-winning literature to be a successful online artist, but knowing how to string a few words together is a definite plus. Using a spell-checker is always a good choice (they’re included in every word document program, so why not?) and just spending a few extra minutes to self-censor doesn’t hurt either. In the end, writing ability isn’t something you can buy, but it IS something you can learn—mostly by doing. And trust me, it’ll come in handy as you describe your art, email collectors, network with other art bloggers, and in many other ways too. 9. A basic understanding of HTML I know programming HTML code isn’t for everyone (I honestly never thought I’d be coding my own website) but it certainly is the artistic “medium” of the internet, and whether you’re copying and pasting a PayPal button next to each of your paintings or just creating html links in your art blog, the more you know the better off you’ll be. If it all sounds too daunting, here’s my advice: just learn as you go. When you need to know how to do something, just type your question into Google, like, “How to make a link in HTML?” or, “How to change a background color in HTML?” That’s how I learned, and so far it’s worked well for me. 10. General knowledge of search engine optimization SEO (or search engine optimization) is a way of writing and organizing your website or art blog so that search engines like Google will send more visitors your way. There’s a LOT more to it (too much to explain here) so if you’re interested I’d just recommend checking out the SEO for Artists section for more information. And there you have it… 7 tools and 3 skills to be a successful online. (Here you can read the article with all activated links taking you further to get more infos…) Read also: 101 Design resource sites – The primary focus of this list is inspiration, it can come from a photograph, font, or a website. The secondary focus is improving your design skills, which can be done by keeping up to date with tutorials and reading other graphic design blogs.
