  Greetings! It’s the start of a new month and I’ve just spent a few minutes looking at all the stats from last month and thought you might be interested in a quick snapshot. We’re a chatty bunch – last month there were 627933 comments on the site. We continue to receive feedback that the positive and supportive environment at RedBubble (often expressed via comments) is one of the most valuable aspects of the site. Here’s a graph of comments since launch: To put this into context there were 144690 works added to the site in February. Groups have steadily been building momentum: We have grand plans for the groups (after we get through our current roadmap) but it pleasing to see more activity happening in the groups. The sales on the site have well and truly picked up after the post Christmas lull. RedBubble is much more than a place to sell your work – in fact we think the most important thing we think we do is facilitate the evolution of a supportive, safe and encouraging environment where your talents can be shared and you can be encouraged and inspired to delve more deeply into your creative side … but I digress (for those who want to know more about what drives us try here or here). Here’s a graph of the number of unique works sold each day on RB: . In February we sent out 2204 sales notifications. If we consider a seller as someone who was sold something before on RedBubble (there’s some folks on RB who are just interested in sharing their work) then the average sales are at $150 per year (per seller). There’s no one yet making a full time living on RB but there are quire a few folks making 1/3 to 1/2 a living – and it’s not always the people you would expect. Some of the most prolific sellers have quite a low profile on RB – and they do a lot of work off site marketing themselves. As a general note – we’re a very entrepreneurial company – if you’ve ever got a business idea that you think we can help with drop us a line. In the last week we’ve had about half a dozen companies approach us wanting to distribute some of the t-shirts on the site (for example). That’s probably enough for today … in the next couple of days I’ll be calling for volunteers to help us road test a few new products we’ve got in the pipe line. So if you’re interested please keep checking out these RB journal entries. Ciao, Peter

• T-shirt colour guide with Red Bubble conversion (Updated 22 May)

  I’ve posted this over at the forums but I thought it was important to post here as well. The following chart was made to help take the guess work out of how your t-shirt design colours will look after Red Bubble’s colour conversion. I simply took a CMYK swatch palette from Photoshop and put it on a t-shirt in Redbubble. As a result, all the colours were converted. Update- I’ve now added coordinates so you can easily find the relating colours between each swatch set. -In the first block of swatches is an extensive range of CMYK colours which you can use while in RGB or CMYK mode to colour your designs. On the bottom is how these colours will be converted on RB’s shirt design preview. For a larger version of the colour guide you can go here (copy and paste in your browser)- http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/1130/tshirtcolourguidenewwl6.jpg Hope this helps everyone.

  Almost every day I see people asking “how do I put pictures in my profile”. There are quite a number of tutorials on how to do this, and here is yet another. This one explains how to use the image from your “preview/buy” page in your profile, and also gives an explanation for creating a profile with smaller images, like the one below. The tutorial is written in a pdf format (for windows PC users – sorry mac people, I wish I could put the instructions in for you) and includes full link texts (difficult to put into a journal on Redbubble because the code you need to type in converts to images unless you leave spaces) and some screencaptures to help along the way. Download it from here: Profile Pics Tutorial This is only one of many other tutorials on this subject. Some can be found in the community forums - This helpful one How to Add a Portfolio in your Email Signature can be found in the Learning Centre Community Forum Others can be found by searching (try searching for profile help, or profle tutorials), or by visiting the How To Redbubble Group Some of the tutorials in this group that are geared towards profile modification are: How To Make Sets in Your Profile by Craig Shillington How To Add Pictures to Your Profile by StacyLee How To Tag Your Work by Jo O’Brien How To Create a Most Popular Link for your Profie by GerryMac Linking Photos in Redbubble by Craig Shillington Buttons and Links to Sets by Craig Shillington Making Your Redbubble Profile Badge by webgrrl Not included in the How To Redbubble Group are these two handy journals by Helen Bascom: Creating Landscape Thumbnails the Correct Size How to Link Thumbnails If you have links to other tutorials relating to profiles or image links, please feel free to add it by leaving the link in a comment.

• Creative Arts Festivals, United Kingdom - Updates
  by Faizan Qureshi

  You remember UK art festival that I’ve been…

  You remember UK art festival that I’ve been trying to arrange? Well, here are some updates and questions. I have had several meetings with our sponsors in the past 2 months and we’ve been working out a plan. As it turns out, Victoria Square in Birmingham is extremely difficult to book and they were giving us too much trouble. So… what’s the plan? Well, if any of you have heard of art streets like Brick Lane, London, you’ll know what I am talking about. We’re working closely with the Custard Factory on their very expensive project to bring art culture to the West Midlands. So, here’s what we’re proposing. We will be arranging an art fair every Sunday where people can come and hang out, buy art, enjoy great company, food, alcohol, performances, etc etc. We will be working on a contract basis with the artists, and let them book stalls for a little longer than one off. Let’s say, if we work out a package for 8 weeks, it’d work out MUCH CHEAPER to hire a stall than on a one-off term. The great thing about this is that it will be very well advertised so you’ll be making lots. This plan is starting in a back street of Birmingham city centre, the footfall will gradually increase as we advertise nationally through various media. I have a list of those people that were initially interested in this on my website So, are any of you interested in getting a stall for a few weeks? Some of you might even want to think about permanent stalls. The prices will vary depending on the period of your contract. Prices? We haven’t worked them out yet but they’ll be MUCH cheaper than what I initially worked out. They’ll be very affordable, even for students. A lot of us are ‘starving artists’ so this is a great opportunity to get ourselves out there and recognised, and not to mention the cash coming in. I will be talking to the RedBubble staff about sponsoring the artists as well, so let’s see how that one goes. I’ll keep you posted.

  Hello – we are about to make a few updates to the user agreement that I’d like to bring to your attention: 1. We’ve removed the following paragraph referring to the RedBubble Beta Phase: “Beta phase RedBubble is currently in its beta phase.

  Cards Cards Cards / The big news this week is the launch of Greeting Cards – Nearly any image can be sold as a greeting card on RedBubble, any file of about 1Mpix or larger ! The product itself is beautiful, photographically printed, bonded with high grade paper and folded. Here’s what it looks like – Just click the card icon at the top. / / Please make your work avaliable as cards – RedBubble is all about artists choice, you need to tick the box to sell cards. / / / Updates to the Watermarks / So we pushed these out a few weeks ago and had a heap of feedback from confused buyers, not sure if the watermark would be on the final product. / / In response we’ve changed the way we are doing this. There isn’t a water mark on the smaller image so buyers can see it clean, on the larger image we are still displaying the watermark – we’ve tried to make it subtle and explain it a little better while still protecting your images.

  I’m going to sell up every shitty material thing I own including the house, garden flat and the meth lab, and I’m going to join a reservation some place in America amongst an ancient American Indian tribe. I’ll be a Teacher or something like that there, Clinton is in for the idea too – any other interested bubblers? Does anyone know of a Tribe that has managed to retain most of its traditional customs and practices? One that hasn’t become completely corrupt by white invasion, domination and assimilation? I have no idea what the protocol or procedures are for joining and cohabitation amongst a group of indiginous people, all I know is that I’m sick to death of white hypocrisy, beaurocracy, greed and bullshit. I’m going to do a bit of research and contact some people, if you know anyone who you can put me in touch with, please let me know, it sure beats my last little experiment where I advertised for a terrorist pen pal, which, incidentally got my ass kicked off of MySpace. when I only wanted to see how a terrorist ticked, from a journalistic perspective, and to do a photo story. Ah well, the Reservation plan seems more promising and practical, so if you can throw any info my way that might be of use, either comment here or email me at: jennifer.b.poetry@gmail.com Jennifer B / is moving / you see.

  Art, Clothing and Writing So there’s good news, and bad news … Lets start with the bad – Over the last few weeks we have been working madly to break up the site into three major sections – Art, Clothing and Writing. We want to value and allow focus on each of these areas separately… Writing is ‘this’ close to being done, but it wasn’t quite right so we had to hold it back and polish it up a bit more… BUT you can look forward to a whole section of the site where written work is treated the same way as any other artwork with things like separate descriptions and excerpts etc. The good news … Art and Clothing are here – The T-Shirt previews in the galleries and zoom views acutally ‘zoom’ in on the artwork, no matter how big or small, so everyone should have a much better idea how hot some of these designs really are. And … One more thing … If you’re into T’s then you can’t miss Issue one of Stitched Comming Soon Writing, updates to ranking and some more special goodies.

  Well a little while ago I let you know that I would be busy for a while and there was some drama going on that I needed to handle but couldn’t get into at the time. / I don’t know how many people will be interested in reading this and I hope it doesn’t come off as a whining session, but I did promise an update when I felt it was safe for me to do so…....so here it is. / I was married to a great guy, we were best friends and shared everything, about 7 years into the marriage things started to change, he stopped telling me things, got very distant and would rarely but ocassionaly lose his temper with the children, slapping them around. He started to be suspicious of every little thing we did and expected the children to instinctively know and follow the rules (or comply as he would say…a handy little word he picked up with his job) As the years passed the loss of temper became more and more with the kids, and with me it was mental beatings, I’m worthless, won’t amount to anything, not worth the time…..you know keeping me down as low as possible. / I was terrified of how I would take care of four children on my own, especially someone so worthless as myself but warned him anyway to get a handle on that temper or it was over. He lost it again and I said I wanted a divorce, he threatned to kill himself and that the children would blame me for the rest of their lives for his death….....so I stayed and tried yet again to make it work, but one night he lost his temper again and I called the police. ............ok ok this ‘update’ is getting way to long….......we’ve been apart since the fall of 2001. Last year my oldest son Nathaniel wanted to go live with him and was getting violent at home with his brothers, it was the hardest decision of my life but in the end I let him go. Then on Nick’s birthday (my youngest) my ex’s girlfriend almost drowned Kristopher my 12 yr old. Threw him in the water over his head while he was screaming at her that he couldn’t swim and begging her to put him down. :( Later on the same day, my ex held Nate underwater, then when they got back to his place he put Kris in a headlock after chasing him down, when Nate tried to help his brother my ex punched Nate in the face and let go of Kris to go after Nate, that gave them the chance to run off and hide for a while. / So in this time I’ve been gone, I’ve been trying to get custody of Nathaniel back without my ex knowing to much about it for fear of how he would react to the children telling me what had happened that day. / The papers came in the mail yesterday, I have all my children back with me where they belong, safe and sound at last. / So I want to thank you all for being so patient with me and even though you didn’t know what was going on or what the drama was, you supported me and help give me the strength to get through yet another of life’s hurdles. / Thank you so much

  Well this morning we’ve released a new version of RedBubble. There’s a whole bunch of changes and improvements (most of them under the hood) the three most public improvements are: / - 8 new adult colour t-shirts; / - international artists can sell via RedBubble; and / - images not for sale can be seen in the recent area of the gallery. T-shirt designers – by default all old designs are only available on white t-shirts. You can change this in mybubble->portfolio. Just select the t-shirt design and then select what colours you would like to make available. However no matter what colour you make available they will still only preview in white, but the options will be there for the buyer.

  Once again I have been away from my computer as I am attending the fairy tale wedding of my niece up here in Michigan. It is being held at the Henry Ford Museum where my family decided to display the 100 year old wedding dress of my Greatgrand Mother. It has been beautifully preserved through the generations and is a wonderful addition to the entrance to the hall and the arriving guests. I have had endless photo opportunities and I will share some these when I return to my home computer and download for viewing… This is my first chance to get to a computer on my trip and to update myself on all of the activity from all of you and there are so many wonderful additions of new work and entries…the world continues to turn even when you step off for a moment… Keep creating…I’ll be back and re-join you in a short time! / Susan

  Update: 10 July 2008 Lots and lots of new Art and photographs will be uploaded soon… Shit I wish I had more Time… Things are getting a little easier in ‘Da Unit’ now. I’ve gotten to know a few of the people here, they’re okay… A couple of them are even kinda nice… I wonder if it’s because they’re becoming more ‘normal’, or whether it’s because I’ve assimilated into ‘abnormality’ a little better. There’s this guy here who calls himself the Preacher Man, he’s one of those Born Again Christian types, but he’s from the Middle East and he used to be a Muslim, he asked me if I wanted to join in a singing/guitar session with him and a group of patients, so I thought to myself, ‘Ah… What the hell, why not?’, only I didn’t realise that the singing/guitar session was going to be like some kind of Sunday School guitar jam session… It wasn’t too bad though, he could play the guitar pretty well and he had a nice singing voice, I even learnt how to sing a hymn in Persian/Farsi! It’s okay, I’m not turning all fucking religious on you or anything like that, I’m just learning a little bit more about the niches and clicks around here. The Preacher Man asked me if I wanted to play the guitar and lead a song, I told him that I didn’t know any ‘religious songs’, actually, I told him that I didn’t know any fucking religious songs, thankfully, he’s way more tolerant and forgiving than I am, so he simply smiled and handed me the guitar anyway. I played the only two ‘Middle of the Road’ songs I know, a couple of old Janice Joplin songs, Summer Time and Bobby McGee, except I played them with only four chords! haha. Cool songs to sing to though. Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose, / Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, now now. / And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues, / You know feeling good was good enough for me, / Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee. I was going to play Wild Thing, but decided against it, seeing as the heavily sedated group I was with didn’t look much like a Wild Thing kind of crowd. The pills and shots they get you to take here makes everyone walk around looking like fucking retarded rag dolls… The days pass okay, every second day I get supervised release for a couple of hours or so, (if I bullshit them and tell them the car’s broken down), but the night’s can be really shitty. I’m not sure if it’s the new meds I’ve been put on or what, but I’m having some fucking weird as hallucinations and night terror dreams. The night before last, (I have no conception of Time any more), I hallucinated that my former boss turned up at the hospital, fuck knows why I thought some innocent-looking 40’ish year old man was him, but I swore black and blue that it was him… I’m still not sure that it wasn’t… Although the staff assure me that it wasn’t him… Sometimes reality and fantasy get blended and mashed up together. Anyway, I was sitting in this big, over-sized, plush lounge chair in the day room, watching some crap on TV, when this man walked by the big glass windows who I could’ve sworn was my former boss! I shrank down into the sofa and had the biggest, mother-fucking panic attack! Jeez, I swear I thought my heart was gonna pound it’s way straight out of my pussy! Suddenly, mid panic attack, I found myself leaping out of that lounge chair and running the length of the fucking corridor yelling, “Fuck this! If he’s here, then I’m outta here!” And I tried to kick my way through one of the locked, glass doors, which, stupidly enough, earned me four stitches in my right foot, and lost me at least, six gold stars, on my ‘normal behaviour’ assessment chart. The incident did, however, earn me some kudos with the other patients, who nodded and grinned at me sheepishly, as if I’d just passed some kind of ‘Welcome to the Nut-house’ initiation process. That same night, I woke up having yet another panic attack, due to having some freaky dream about everyone turning into zombies with their flesh melting, dripping and oozing cum and pus all over the carpet. I hit the buzzer for a nurse and some man walked into the room to turn it off, he told me that everything would be fine and that a nurse would see me soon, only she didn’t, in fact, I sat there with my head bent beneath my legs praying to my pussy for something like twenty fucking minutes, and nobody came in to check on me. So I ended up walking my panic attack off up and down the corridor like one of the zombies in the dream I’d just had, until, after some time, a nurse finally came up to me and asked if I was okay, to which I responded, amidst heavy breathing and gasps, “Do I look fucking okay??? A patient could die in this place before anyone puts down their cups of coffee and vibrators to check on them!” And yes… A few more golden stars fell from my normalcy assessment chart once again… It’s like the staff don’t even acknowledge your existence or the fact that you take up space in this place, I could probably do a runner and go missing for a couple of days before anyone noticed I was missing. Earlier on this afternoon there was a knock on my ward door and the conversation went something like this: “Jennifer? Are you in there?” / “Yeah…” / “How are you?” / “Well, I’m feeling a bit___“ / “Oh, okay then, just press the buzzer for a nurse if you need anything…” And then she was gone. Without knowing or giving a shit about what I was feeling a ‘bit of’. hahaha. Fuck it, I’m prattling on and on and I’m writing this shit with a pen in the hospital, it’s about 10:30 pm and my hand is starting to get cramp and drag across the paper like a limp dick, I can’t form my letter shapes properly now and I’m beginning to lose coherency… I’m wondering if I’ll even find the time to get this typed up tomorrow when they let me out for restricted leave… I’ve written some crappy poems, taken a fair few photographs, and created a shit load of Art, there’s way too much to publish right now and I need to get an adapter to take it all off my cell phone to put on my laptop, hopefully I’ll have some stuff up for you to see on Saturday, it’s Thursday right now… I wish I had longer to talk to you all personally, but I’ve only got a couple of hours every second day and it looks like even that amount of time’s gonna be cut back even further soon… Maybe because I kicked the glass door with my foot… I’m not sure. Telling the Shrink to go fuck himself because I failed my psyche assessment test didn’t help much either I suppose, but then again, I always was a high achiever and I never could take failing gracefully… ;-) All in all, things aren’t too bad, it has it’s up and down moments, oh, I’ve written requesting all of my medical notes so that I can publish them here on my journal, LOL, now that should make some interesting bed-time reading for ya’s. ;-) Oh well, I’d better go before I bore you any more with my manic, mental dribble, a special hello, sloppy (eew!) kiss and hugs to my new friends, (in no particular order of priority), Krisso, Aglaia, Heather, Clinton, Sophie, Rhett, Steve, Andreas, Mark,Outdoors2, dogfish… Aww… Sorry if I’ve forgotten about any other ‘regular’ correspondents/correspondences/communicators/instigators/collaborators/masturbators??? I luv 2 hate 2 miss u all… :-( Back in two days… Hopefully! xox Jennifer B / is restrained (not in the way that I’d like to be!!!) / you see! xox psst… i don’t have time to proof read this manic, heap of shit so either read it and stfu, or skip it! xox A SONG to blow out on… hahaha! Release Schedule Mon: No release Tues: 12:00pm – 3:00pm Unless the car has ‘accidentally’ broken down and I can’t get back to the Unit before 6:00pm… ;-) Wed: No release Thurs: 12:00pm – 3:00pm Sat/Sun: 11:00 – 3:00 pm If anyone is insane enough to want to send me snail mail or a hundred grand!

Any or all stalkers risk being detained in this loony-bin with me, for an indefinite period of time at my request.

  So sorry for being a little scarce lately … I have had a lot going on and can now finally breath a little. First off, I just went for an Interview for a Job here in Kellerberrin at the local Hardware Store. Originally they wanted someone to help reconcile accounts etc on the computer system, but because I could be up and moving at anytime, they have given me a casual position as a sales assistant :) For that I would like to thank Kate, Judy, Scott and Noel!! Without your help I would never have even thought to ask. I also had my follow up specialist appointment yesterday in Perth, with the Chest and Lung Dr. My results show I am the same and that with time and giving up smoking, there is no reason I can’t lead a full and normal life :) That was the best news I could have heard. I have been so anxious and confused about exactly what I could and couldn’t do from now on. Now I am more aware. So I am sticking to my plan of cutting down slowly on the smoking to the point when I move and am relatively stress free I will finally give them up for good. Of the results all were normal except for one which was bordering on Normal so I am glad the tests etc from earlier this year picked up the Disease early on and now I can work on not allowing that to get any worse :) :) Great news :) Have one more hurdle to get over before I can really start thinking about moving on. The mediation service with my ex girlfriend is next week. This is the last thing now stopping me from moving at the moment. Fingers crossed that goes well and something is agreed upon and I can finally start packing :) :) All this is helping so much with how I am dealing with my Depression, there is nothing like good news and maybe more to the point, having somewhat more control of your own life that helps deal with depression so much easier. :) Right now I am on top of the world. :) VBS
