Two Photo’s I merged together. I tried to bend the river photo by using a displacement map. this was unsatisfactory so i had to warp it using the liquefy filter. The water drops were added thanks to a tutorial on photoshop tv by Bert Monroy. Finaly. I used the burn tool to enhance the wet look of the pages. / I was disappointed that the drops on the left of the book seem to be hovering above the book, also I feel there are possibly too many drops. / Neil

Inspired by the book “The little Prince” No,I didn’t start painting but one of my friend realy influenced me for that macro picture of an icestick .The icestick was frosted on the rocs in the woods,the reason for those beautiful colors.I just add a bit of saturation to put up the beautiful blue because I think it’s his favorite color. / For my bubbler’s friend Nigel.. Kafka a man who loves «Le petit Prince» as much as I do…..... / «It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;what is essential is invisible to the eyes» / Antoine de Saint-Exupéry….. I see in that icestick a the little boy with a long white shirt ,the arms reaching to the sky with his head falling back,his legs are beginning to vanish….you know that moment when the snake bite him and went back to his planet …I clearly see the blue snake at his feet ….I know I know ...I have a lot of imagination but I realy see it …. :)))) .......Please take a look at Kafka’s work ,he a fantastic painter …x / / /

A RedBubble Story

I have been doing a few media interviews recently and one of the things I am asked is the origins of RedBubble. So here it is … In March 2006, Peter, Paul and I got together to discuss bringing print-on-demand to Australia. I have known Paul for over 15 years and Peter for about five. We seemed to have a good skill set to work together with Peter bringing really deep operational skills, Paul a great design sensibility and me almost ten years off online experience. We spent a number of months working on the whole print-on-demand idea (think Cafepress for Australia) but we were beginning to bore even ourselves to death. Life seemed just a little bit too short to be obsessed with watching printers churn out another mug with a picture of someone’s cat on it. I was particularly concerned that Paul (and his entire design studio – especially Lindsay) said there is no way they would put their stuff on RedBubble. You have to think twice about an idea when your team won’t use it. We were “vegans making hamburgers” and this was before we got our very own vegan (in the shape of Xavier on board). As they say “boredom is the mother of invention”. We decided to re-think. And in this we realised that we needed three things to become personally more creative online: a community to support us, a marketplace to sell things and a fulfilment service to get production done. This diagram was drawn on the whiteboard: And this diagram is still in my investor presentations. Our offering and strategy has not changed. We have added some things to it. Probably most importantly the ideas of “Honour the Art” and We stand for Artists. The particular needs of the T-Shirt community have also been made clear to us (by Ed). We are obsessed now as we were then with the idea of creating a place where all artists and designers would feel welcome and which would provide them with the tools to advance on their creative journey. And just for a bit of nostaglia here is the original team (Peter, Paul and Pilgrim with Kath and James) and also the original timeline from April 2006 which was just a little bullish (we launched on 2/2/07)

This is the third study painting I have created in a series of ancient Japanese graphic art works. This was inspired from the “Journey along the Passing Waves of the Shallow Rapids”. / Each piece I have done has been intense and rewarding. The brush movements are like a dance between me and the canvas. They are immensely enjoyable and I am currently working on several more. / CarrieGlennStudios.Com

Title: Innocent Partner / Medium: Acrylic on stretched canvas / Size: 500mm x 600mm / 2nd Prize winner in the Dunedin International Airport Art Awards / Original SOLD This was a painting I recently finished. It was an art challenge held by the New Zealand Art Guild. Four things ha to be incorporated in an artwork, they were: / innocence, orange, umbrella and triangle. Here is Little Red Riding Hood (the innocent) although she doesn’t look it here…with the Big Bad Wolf who has offered her shelter under his umbrella as it has started to snow again. She is on her way to take some fruit (orange amongst them) to her elderly Grandma who lives in a cottage deep in the forest. I wanted to interpret ‘triangle’ in the three character relationship i.e. Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf. Alternatively sections of the umbrella are triangular in shape.

sold two copies so far,, thankyou so much * I was at the park the other day with my grandchild .. and saw this bird on the monkeybar:).. looked as if he had all the time in the world..and not a care to his name. so I painted him and hope you enjoy it. as much as I did watching him. . The sparrow is a small bird that is not considered to be of much consequence. It is too small to be much of a meal, shows how much God pays attention to. “The very hairs on your head are numbered.” and then this happened amongst two .. we didnt know each other really .. but this came of our art. as we became friends.. throught the process of creating this peice. oh , please read more when you got a changce and visit it here / Hope is a thing with Feathers / Sold*!! :).. aw thank you so much to the buyer!

“Time and Tide” She rises in silence on another human moment, and illuminates the crumbling icons we worship…and those we have yet to awaken to. Reality is merely a perception, and we can be so blind. Regardless of our lack of vision, / time and tide move inexorably to erase all traces of our petty struggles and return us to the place it all began… The ghosts of the past walk beside the spirits of the future, leaving invisible footprints upon this landscape… guiding a relentless cycle of humanity on its neverending journey to self discovery. Somewhere between the lines, truth reveals the simple joy of acceptance and the relinquishing of control, and waits patiently for us to see. Beyond all that we think we are or strive to be, time and tide will continue to overwrite our diminutive stories with a grander chronicle of their own, eternally seeking to restore the balance…. Wendy Slee (2009) (a large-format version of this image is currently on display in an exhibition at ArtGeo Gallery in Busselton, as part of the National Lifestyle Villages annual art awards)

Sixth artwork in my new Wonderland series, based off of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” ”`Well!’ thought Alice to herself, `after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!’ (Which was very likely true.) – “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” Original artwork measures approx. 12.5×19” and was created with oil pastels, colored pencils, metaliic silver pens, and marker. This is a scan of the image, so you can’t see the silver highlights on this piece (they look gray in the scan) through Alice’s hair and dress. View more of my artwork at www.lynnetteshelley.com

A story from Cambodia: I met the girl in the red pyjamas on a hot day in one of Angkor’s busy temples. Although we ended up spending a nice amount of time getting to know each other, this photo was taken before she’d seen me sitting across the hallway. Her mother was busy selling incense to the tourists in a hurry to get through and see the sights- and the girl in red pyjamas sat still and well behaved. What happened next is here

The Story of Claire & I - A Red Bubble Romance!
by Simon Aberle_Many people on Red Bubble have followed our story, and we thank you so much for all the encouragement, comments on our work and support….
Many people on Red Bubble have followed our story, and we thank you so much for all the encouragement, comments on our work and support. For those who haven’t, this is the inspiring love tale that just goes to show that two people can find love in the most extraordinary circumstances! / Claire and I met on Red Bubble in April, 2009. / I was the host of 1 On 1: The Fine Art Of Portraiture at the time, and Claire submitted her painting Robert Bray 2006 and I accepted it and, rightly so, praised it. / She in turn viewed my profile and saw something in my eyes that she felt strangely drawn to. / She praised a lot of my work and eventually sent me a bubblemail asking for tips. / She looked cute in her picture, so I started flirting with her innocently, thinking there was absolutely no chance because she lived in the UK, 10,000 miles away! / We bubblemailed each other more and more frequently, chatting about artsy stuff for a while, then began to realise we thought the same way, and had the same dreams and viewpoints. We exchanged personal email addresses. / It wasn’t long before we started including more personal topics in our emails, and the emails became larger and more frequent. / We were emailing each other on a daily basis, sometimes 3 or 4 seperate emails a day, falling in love, digitally. / We had seen only a few photos of each other (well she saw more of me as I whore myself on MySpace and facebook lol) but we fell in love with each other’s hearts and minds. / She sent me an email one day saying she had a crazy idea, to quit her job, come up with 500 pounds and fly 10 000 miles to come and stay with me for a month. / I thought it was crazy, but I was just as curious, so I agreed. / We waited three weeks before the big day, all the while the love getting deeper and stronger, and the emails getting longer. / She arrived here in Adelaide on May 30th, and we instantly got along like a house on fire. / She instictively knew i was the one, but I needed a bit more convincing than her. Within a week I fell hard for her, and we absolutely rocked the whole universe off it’s axis! / I now knew she was the one I was meant to spend my life with so proposed to her on 21st of June, and she said yes! / so a couple of weeks later her restricted time in Australia drew to a close, but we tearfully parted as she went back to England with a purpose this time – to apply for a prospective marriage visa to move to Adelaide. / We gathered testimonies from relatives and friends, borrowed thousands of dollars, and sent the application off while we waited on opposite ends of the globe. / The wait was excruciating, we were in constant contact, 3 of 4 emails a day, text messages every waking hour, YouTube posts, and MSN video calls every day. / Claire finally got the email from immigration 10 weeks later saying it had been approved, and we were happier than we have ever been! / She arrived in mid September, to live! and we got married on October 31st which is the Australian version of Beltane, a Pagan time of celebration. / Several Red Bubblers attended, including: / Lynda Robinson / Julia Thomas / Topher Webb / Ross Aberlé / We have recently moved to an amazing house in a beautiful town on the outskirts of Adelaide, two doors down from the scrub, and a 3 minute walk to the beach :) / To all those who dont believe in long distance romance, internet romance, and love when you least expect it, to you I say BAH HUMBUG!!! / / / / / All Photos Courtesy of Julia Thomas
