This little leaf was just born in April… it has only had a few short weeks of life. Whatever was holding it to the tree it came from wasn’t made well enough to anchor it from the wind that blew the rainstorm in. Leaves from deciduous trees don’t live long enough as it is…. just a few short months. To be ripped from its moorings so soon after emerging to life seems hardly fair. Just another on an already long list of unfairnesses in this world of ours. LavenderMoon~

Spawn camping is the practice of camping near a spawn location with the intention of killing any player who spawns there. This occurs mainly in first-person shooter games, but can also occur in other games where spawning can occur, such as paintball or airsoft. It is a common tactic and controversial issue in online gaming communities, where many consider it to be a form of cheating, or, at best, an unfair tactic and bad form. As with other forms of camping, spawn camping in public, informal games is generally seen as unsportsmanlike and unfair. In competitive gaming leagues, on the other hand, spawn camping is usually accepted as part of the game and the result of player(s) failing to prevent dominance by their opponents.

A spread from the altered book I made for mewithoutYou. I illustrated each song from their album “Catch For Us The Foxes”; this is “My Exit, Unfair”. The lyric illustrated is “and a hard rain’s gonna fall”, which I believe to be a reference to the first half of Ecclesiastes 11:3. The other featured lyrics are “my exit unobserved, and my homesickness absurd” and “until I let you go, I didn’t know you were never mine” / The writing is the Elder Futhark of Norse Runes. / Worked on from 2005 to 2007.

Businesses and media in the carrot world survive by making people feel that they are inadequate, especially women. A woman who is a normal female carrot shape is supposed to feel guilty about being overweight… the typical carrot model is ultra-thin. No hips, small bust. Very few carrots fit this “ideal” shape. They feel that their naturally heavier (curvier) shape is inadequate. DENY THE CARROT MEDIA! BE PROUD OF YOUR NATURALLY HEALTHY SHAPE!! It’s a big relief to know that humans are so much smarter than carrots, and would never be affected by this demeaning pressure tactic.

A while ago I was wandering around town and saw a woman playing the recorder in the street. She was obviously homeless and was in a sorry state. As I walked past, I glanced back and saw her staring right at me. I went back to her – it was my best friend from primary school, Suzanne. She recognised me immediately and I spent the next 45 minutes sat on the ground next to her, listening to her story and finding out what went wrong. / She told me all about her personal hell – I left her with a hot drink, some hot food and told her I’d be back the next day. / When I went back, I couldn’t find her – she’d been moved on by the police for illegal begging. I never saw her again and every time I went past the same place for 4 years, I never found her. / On Friday my partner was at the train station in town and heard a song being played on a recorder. It was Suzanne playing ‘I Believe’.. / With a hot drink, some food and a smile my partner made sure she was ok and left her. / Even though I was working with the homeless at the time there was absolutely nothing I could do to help her – there aren’t enough direct access hostels in the city. / It’s 2008 – why can we not house people, give them safety and support, have compassion and care for them like human beings. It saddens me to think that people can be let down so badly….. / This one’s for Suzanne – I hope she’s somewhere safe tonight….. I Believe

So remember my last journal entry? I’ve decided to give up photography on a semi-to-permanent basis. I haven’t taken this decision lightly, and it hurts me to give it up, but my life has gone to hell in a handbasket in the past couple of months and I don’t actually have the time to take pictures anymore. In the past few months, in order of occurence, this is what’s happened: / my University funding was stopped even though I’m entitled to it; / I nearly lost a close friend / My dad nearly died / My dad had an operation / He then ended up in intensive care / He got out of intensive care / I got mugged and lost my bank cards, purse, iPod and other stuff / My dad got transferred to another hospital / My dad got out of hospital / I was told I’d need to wait at least another month to get my funding / My dad haemoraged in front of me and ended up in hospital again (another hospital) / My dad got out of hospital / I did a poster presentation at Uni relating to my dissertation / I got a citation to go to court as a witness / I realised my stolen bank card (which had been cancelled) had been used illegally and had maxed out my account, resulting in me getting an overdraft charge and I have no money On top of all that, my mum and the dog have both been poorly too :( So I’ve not even had time to think about taking a picture :( I’d love to keep on with photography, but it costs me money, and doesn’t make me any…I haven’t had a single sale, and I need to concentrate on my parents’ health, Uni’ work, and making money since I’m completely skint. I may upload new stuff from time to time, but I think for me that’s it :( I’m sorry :(

My last two journal entries have just disappeared. The last one was before I’d even gotten it posted. It just disappeared! The other one was posted all the way, and then disappeared after a while. How annoying! One was about the Saatchi gallery, playing around there, and had links to artwork I did there. The other was about how it disappeared, and how another group is at it, again! The Blue Group rejected my work I SEE 1 31 2009 for not fitting in. Mind you, it is at least 75 percent blue as even in her skin tone, there is blue! The entire background is light blue, so that every last little nook and cranny where normally white would go, is blue; and most of it has other shades of blue mottled over it, her eyebrow, eye, even the ring around her Iris, and her eye liner, is blue! I get so sick of groups who are obviously about favoring specific friends or fellow countrymen or at least acting not in favor of other specific groups of people! It should be about art, and following the rules as the group has set them! Even weirder! Afer I posted this “So, this is weird” in my joural reappeared. That’s the one with the info about Saatchi

REDBUBBLE IT IS TIME NOW TO PUT THE PRICES FOR UK ARTISTS AT PAR WITH THE REST OF THE REDBUBBLE MEMBERS IT IS TIME TO STOP DISCRIMINATING AGAINST US” Some of you may have noticed that my prices, and that of other UK artists are higher than those of the rest of the world. No we are not greedy limeys, but back last year Redbubble announced that all UK artists cost prices are increased by a huge *11%, as allegedly the British Pound fell against the Aussie Dollar. I checked that and it did not fall by 11% at all, but REDBUBBLE unfairly discriminated against us. THE US DOLLAR FELL BY FAR MORE, BUT THEY WHERE NOT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. The British Pound has now recovered , but REDBUBBLE CONTINUES TO DISCRIMINATE artists from the UK. Dear Friends I would appreciate it if you could all send a MESSAGE to REDBUBBLE to bring the prices back in line with the rest of you. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!!!!

Please just read this with an open mind and do not see this as a complaint, rather as asking for your help and/or opinion on this matter —-- --— —-- --— —-- --— —-- --— —-- --— I really like to enter challenges. It is fun, a great way to see how other interpret the challenge and it is great to see a condensed gallery of stunning artwork in one go. But it is also so very cool to actually win one, once in a while….. really cool. I actually have won 3 challenges so far….so it is a tough world out there! The art is stunning and worthy! My joy was short lived as I had the same amount of votes as the winner and the system chose the other image maybe because it was submitted later than mine, or even earlier…. how would I know how the system choose a winner out of maybe 3 or four with the same amount of votes. What I CAN say, is that I feel cheated by the system. In the “real” world joined winners get joined rewards. But my greater concern is not this challenge that I missed out on winning…....what if this happens in our group that I co-host with Mariaan? Would the members not be very upset with us as hosts for not fixing this horrible happening? Would they not feel cheated and disgusted as the system might just not see that they were winners too? How do we as hosts explain such unfairness to them? Would they get upset and leave the group because they feel we are unfair? Now, I did some research and there were complaints and RB did answer on 28 June 2009 that it is in the planning to be fixed. This complaint is rank 14th on the priority list. I want to make sure this moves down to #1 by voting for this to be fixed. If you strongly feel this needs to be fixed, would you please join me and vote here? Do not worry if you run out on votes, Redbubble replenish them as soon as your 10 votes are finished Thanx for reading and if you do vote on this, I thank you Blessings / Susan
September 29th was a black day on the bubble for a lot of people. On that day, the voice of truth and reason failed on RB and was banished irrevocably. Helen Bascom had her account deleted without opportunity to defend or explain. To those who don’t know her, Helen is one of the longest standing members of this site, an amazing artist and writer and a passionate lobbyist for change for the better in this world. I have never met a single human being with such grit and determination, such passion, such COMPASSION, and such integrity…... She was the voice of reason and conscience and constantly spoke out to address issues that were unfair and injust in not only her country but across the planet. Sure she was outspoken, determined, ballsy, and flew in the face of convention when she felt “convention” was unacceptable. But she never missed an opportunity to speak out, stand up, or defend the underdog or those who had been treated unfairly. For this, Helen was very controversial, but love her or dislike her, you had to admit, her passion and energy were overwhelming and admirable and she always fought unwaveringly for what she believed in. I use the past tense “was” here because on redbubble, it appears that the subject of Helen is past. However Helen WAS all these things and Helen still IS ! And I intend to keep the spirit of what Helen stood for on RB alive. On top of these things, she is a fine human being, and my friend. I respect and admire her. And if I do nothing else here, I will speak out about this in her defence, while she is unable to. My sense of fairplay dictates that if I don’t delete my account at Redbubble then I must stay here and continue the fight FOR HER. This T Shirt is one way I can protest about Helen’s treatment here on the bubble and show all those who take pleasure in her departure, that those of us who can see past their petty egos and opinions outnumber them by far, and we will continue to fight for the truth and focus on what really matters.

From what I can gather, because she was taunted into saying a swear word? Heaven forbid that should happen here. / And what’s with all the Obama bashing? Hillbillies. Sorry, did that offend someone? Please don’t swear at me or I’ll get a mate pretending to be another mate to report you if they have time between commenting and favouriting themselves. / Gone to Helen a handbasket.
I spend my hours in darkness, / Obscured by the shadows… / And, it feels like time has stopped. No tick, tick, ticking. No tock, tock, tocking. Only waiting. Incessant waiting. Infernal waiting. Waiting. I count the seconds in heartbeats…how many have gone by? / So many. Too many. Yet, my heartbeat keeps on. How does a broken heart keep on beating when a watch will not keep ticking if it has suffered the same fate? It’s not fair. But, fairness has nothing to do with time. I spend my hours in darkness – / My life in the shadows – / And it feels like it never will stop! This is another dark one, I’m afraid. But, as my Jamie often says, my dark stuff – whether verse or image – has always been some of my best. I tend to agree with him. As I have remarked many times, and had an opportunity to say it again today, there is no beauty in pain. Pain is always ugly. However, there can be much beauty found in art inspired by pain.
