I’d like to pinch that idea , except that I shall be sent a supply of cards by a lady in the Netherlands. I help her with her weblog . She has sent me a number of things, e.g. t-shirt (Sorry Redbubble but I have ordered another, here too.) (Also sent me a paintbox!! Shall meet her and her men {husband and sons} one day, in the Netherlands, I hope. Now I’ll have to think about the stamps again, this year. I am sending less and less real cards. Not that I’m sending more virtual ones. Less relatives left in the Netherlands. A few less people here. Still…..... I shall get stamps, again.

Have you ever had the desire to share every little detail you have ever learned in your life? Not just mathematics, nor reading, writing, geography or history. I mean the things that are important for survival. Like where to go to apply for food stamps, or how to apply for disability, or even what qualifies as being disabled. Finding affordable housing, ways to earn money with what you know and love to do. I’ve never been able to hold a job for more then a month. I’ve tried working every day since I turned 16, and every month I was out looking for a new one. I have a bad case of depression, mixed with a heavy dose of ‘racing thoughts’ anxiety, then throw in the inability to sleep half the time. What a mess. The racing thoughts have always been the same thing; bettering my life in some way by helping others do the same. Opening a school for high school kids who have had to drop out where they can work, get paid and Learn. Teaching life lessons to kids through my childrens books. Trying to help every Tom, Dick and Harry who’s ever come crying to my door. And I have learned alot from these experiences; people use you for nothing more then their own personal gain. But at least I gained that knowledge. In some way, I gained though that wasn’t their intention.

I’d have to say, if someone asked me what the postal rate was for a letter … I’d look at them really dumbfounded. I just go to the Post Office and say I want a book of stamps … I usually get those “forever” stamps. BUT the day before yesterday I was near the Post Office on one side of town and stopped in to get stamps. The employee there said we don’t have any “forever” stamps will these be OK and waved some stamps at me that had a flag on them and a number. I wear bifocals … from where I was standing, I couldn’t see the number from where she was waving. I just sorta assumed they’d be normal first class postage stamps. Yesterday on my way out I stuck a stamp on each of some rather thick letters and, since I was in the area, I stopped by the Post Office on the OTHER side of town to mail them … BUT first I stopped at the counter and asked if they could check them I wanted to make sure there was enough postage on them. The lady at the desk weighed each envelope looked at the postage and said they should be fine and tossed them on the sack to be mailed. While I was standing there they had a nice blow-up of their new photo stamp sheets and I happened to notice the number on them which I could see was 42. While eatting lunch today, I just happened to glance at the stamps sitting on the counter that I used yesterday …. they are 41 cent stamps. Now I don’t know why the hell the Post Office is still selling the damn things in the first place. I am even more baffled by the fact that the second employee at the other Post said they were OK. I’d have been glad to pay the other penny. The question is … what will happen to the letters?

This is a really easy way to get an effect in Photoshop. It can save you using layer masks and/or making selections. I’m not going to do anything fancy with the effect in this, you just go ahead and experiment with that aspect of it. This image is 800×600 @72dpi. You can go ahead and use it to practise on if you like, copyright is mine blah, blah. Go ahead and unlock the background layer by double clicking on it and from the dialogue box just choose the default name. Go to Edit>Define Pattern and when the dialogue box appears, either give it a deep and meaningful name or leave it at the name it is. Next, duplicate the background by pressing Ctrl + J on the keyboard. What you do now is pretty much up to you, but making sure that the duplicate is active go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Sat and choose colorize from the dialogue box. You can pick any colour you want really, or you can punch in the numbers I have below. Don’t panic if you don’t get the colour right, you can always go back and add a Hue/Sat adjustment layer to this layer later on. Still working on the Hue/Sat layer, go to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur and you can punch in the same settings I have. Notice in the second image that I have moved the central point of the blur to the top left hand corner. If you find that you have given it a little too much radial blur, before you do anything else, go to Edit>Fade Radial Blur and back off a little bit. Create a new blank layer at the top of the layer stack and go to the Tools bar and choose the Pattern Stamp Tool – you’ll find it nestled with the Clone Stamp Tool. Now go to the top menu bar and from the drop down menu pick the image as the pattern – make sure that Aligned is checked as well. / / At this point, you may want to drop the opacity of the blurred layer so you can see where you have to paint. Make sure that you are working on the blank layer, then start painting back in the bike and rider. Don’t panic if you make any drastic mistake, just add a layer mask and fix it, then go back to the Pattern Tool and carry on painting. I went ahead and added a layer mask to the newly created bike rider and used a Linear Gradient to blend the bottom part of the bike into the red radial blur. There wasn’t really a lot going on in the background of this image, but if you wanted to highlight a flower from a whole lot of flowers the blur would probably have a much better impact and you wouldn’t have to colorize the layer. Alernatively, you could have simply desaturated the layer. Here is the final image. Have fun and if you have any questions, just ask.

Personalized Chinese Chops are proving extremely popular with nearly 20 ordered and 10 sold so far. They seem to have captured people’s imagination. Typical comments have included: / “I would love to have one of those!” / “Thanks so very much! My next step is to get this made into a silk screen so I can screen it onto my fiber art pieces. I also need to learn how to “add” it to my digital images!” / “Well, I just have to have one of your fabulous Chops for myself! I’m a new Bubbler but I’ve been wondering how to sign my art in a unique way, and here it is! What a wonderful creative genius of an idea!!!!!!” / “Thanks Keith it looks great !!! Glad you put travel there as travel is my top escape ..I have earnt the right to be selfish I reckon !!!” / “Hi there Keith in Port! I’m sure you have been overwhelmed by requests with such a generous offer:) Anyways here’s mine” / “How are you ? Just read Karin Taylors message that you are kindly doing those cute little Chinese symbols . Well I would like to get in the queue and make a request for one ..” / “Thanks mate it is awesome. Just what Ii was looking for.” / “Hi Keith – I was just reading a journal entry by Karin Taylor saying that you may be willing to do a chinese chop as a signature. If you could spare the time I would love one. I do appreciate that you may be innundated with requests for a chop, and so understand that…” / “Last night I responed to your bmail, But I did not say I would Love one. I was so tired and did not think when I commented. These are wonderful and right up my alley.” / “I would love to have one of these signatures done…They are sooo cool..I have studied Chinese Thought Structure for over 30 years…I love the flow of these characters in the signatures…Thanks” / “absolutely superb, you are so clever” / “congrats Keith these must be keeping you busy” / “Glorious!!!!” / “This is another beauty, you are so very good at these, they are glorious. hugsxxx If someone took this design to a stamp maker, he would make them a rubber stamp and they could use it as their personal watermark on anything. Beautiful Keith.” / “wonderful!!! This is definiitely your forte. wonderful work” / “Beautifully crafted Keith !!!” / “it looks really wonderful framed Keith, man you have been so busy, fantastic work!” / “I love this. absolutely wonderful. I was so thrilled with mine. thanks you dear friend.” / “Keith I’m loving all of these……” / “Thankyou !!” / “terrific work keith” / “Thanks Keith – I appreciate this very much was exactly what I was looking for. Great Work” So it has been wonderful being able to create with the support of such a wonderful community. Thank you RedBubble! If you would like one for yourself (typical sample is) / just bubblemail me with your initials, plus your deeply held passions. Using these I will create a Chinese-Style Chop that is especially for you – and you can use it to stamp your own art pieces uniquely! Payment – this is conditional on you liking what you receive. If you like it, then purchase a few wall hangings or cards, if you don’t like it, that’s OK. Hoping to hear from you. Cheers, Keith. / Here is a mosaic created from the first 12 made. It is large enough to be purchased as a poster or framed picture. (Link) / STOP PRESS – Make that 11 sold, Blossom just bought hers a few minutes ago – thank you so much!

Here is a few pix from the exhibition ‘Postmarked Geelong’. This exhibition was based around the premise that artists create faux stamps or cinderellas. We involved a few Micronations from both Australia and overseas who produce legal stamps, the Mail Art open network, local artists and a few off the bubble as well. There was also a component that worked with community groups and disability orgs. to allow for all abilities to be involved and gain access to working with a professional artist in a workshop senario.
