So, we said January is thinking month, yet here we are mid-February and we’re still thinking quite a lot! It’s been incredibly valuable to us to take a step back, look at what we’re really trying to achieve here, and how we make all the pieces fit. The first thing I guess you need to know about RedBubble is that we have no shortage of ideas, and no shortage of suggestions from the community. It’s actually quite rare that we hear of a bad idea — most ideas are great, or as Xavier would say, winners. So when we’re faced with hundreds or thousands of great ideas, the challenge is deciding what’s going to solve the biggest problems for the most people, and making sure we stay true to The Big Plan. A huge part of The Big Plan is the buying and selling. Artists are happy when they sell their work, buyers are happy when they find something they want to buy. With this is in mind, we’re going going to be spending a lot of our time over the next few months looking at our products, as well as how they’re bought and how they’re sold. What does that mean? Hopefully that means… Revised wall art products We don’t think we’ve got the wall art stuff right yet, and this is going to change. Pete’s already previewed our plans for framed wall art with interchangeable matted prints, but this is just the tip of the iceberg — we have some top secret stuff wall art products we really hope we can get ready. Wall art needs to be big and we still haven’t been able to find a way to economically ship big wall art around the globe, so this is high on our list (still). Post cards Our greeting cards still need some attention, but we’re also really keen to do post cards and some other printed promotional stuff that helps the artist sell their work and promote themselves. Photo books Calendars were a roaring success (and they weren’t even publicly available for sale), so we’re pretty keen to get a photo book product out there for everyone to buy. More T-shirt options We’re keen to have more colors and styles available to the buyers, as well as more options for the artist (like front and back printing, shifting the print area around on the tee, etc). Better selling tools As Pete recently discussed in the year ahead, we feel we’re in a partnership with the artists, and we need their help to promote their work and sell it. So we want to give you tools to do that. Business cards and post cards will help, but so will some technical stuff like allowing you to have a more product-oriented profile page and some more widgets to embed in other websites. Personally, I’d really like to help other artists sell their stuff by promoting it, so that’s something we’re going to explore as well. Better buying tools Not everyone is a buyer, but for those who come to RedBubble (or to your profile) with cash in their hand looking to buy something, we want to make it really easy. Mooks and publications In addition to In The Moment (on sale in a few days) and our current competition Gaia, Fran is working hard to introduce more periodical publications in the form of Mooks (not a magazine, not quite a book, get it?) to get more of your fantastic writing and art published. Disclaimers and footnotes This is the big stuff that we really think will make a difference to RedBubble over the next few months, but it’s not a definitive list at all. There’s no guarantee we can get all of this done of course, and there’s obviously other things that we’ll need to take care of along the way, but everyone needs a plan and something to focus on. Hopefully you’re as excited about this stuff as we are! — Peter & Justin

As I am practically brand new to design and photography, I want to play a game and get the RedBubble community involved. It is fairly simple and the reason behind it is to challenge my creativity and develop my skills. I would like people to post a comment with a word, concept, or theme… from A to Z (the alphabet) and I will challenge myself to create a piece of wall art, and t-shirt design for each posted comment. All work will be tagged a2z along with the corresponding topic and letter of the alphabet for an easy search function. Feel free to join in the fun… so what will A be?

My latest camera…..a butter shortbread tin that has a nicely fitting lid. !http://images-0.redbubble.net/img/art/size:ularge/view:ma…
My latest camera…..a butter shortbread tin that has a nicely fitting lid. Just about everything I make is a prototype….that means it is the shoddy test version just to try out the design. The problem is that my prototypes usually work so well that I don’t need to make the proper version. This was easily constructed. I did some painting of black poster paint inside the tin and glued an old bootlace around the edge of the lid to help seal it (but I don’t really think it was that necessary…it already fitted very well, just another precaution). I banged a big nail through the front of the lid in the centre and hammered and sanded until it was smooth enough. I never have a drink can handy so for the pinhole I used a piece cut from an aluminium take away container. I carefully pierced it with a pin and sanded it flat as well as I could. This I attached with some very cheap shiny black cloth tape that I got in the $2 shop. I vaguely attempted to cover the shine with some of the poster paint. I did use a little permanent black marker around the pinhole. I constructed a swish sort of shutter that spins on a paper clip, but I think I could have just used another piece of black adhesive tape or even a fridge magnet. The best bit of the design is the cut up fridge magnet used inside to hold the sheet of photographic paper in place. My most successful exposure was this approximately 20 second one which had areas of full sun. It was latish afternoon. This one had areas of direct sun but was mostly in shade, exposure about 25 seconds, probably not really enough. This one was indoors underneath two skylights. I gave this a bit less than two minutes but it obviously only picked up the skylights and there was insufficient light to show any other detail. Try again! The paper I exposed in the camera was Agfa variable contrast premium mcp 312 rc semi matt, 5 by 7 inch. / It is at least 20 years old. / I made up a coffee and washing soda mixture and used it as a developer for the paper negative. I think I used 10 heaped teaspoons of instant coffee powder, 5 heaped teaspoons of washing soda and about 700ml of luke warm water. I was a bit sloppy about this as I wasn’t sure how much I needed in the tray. This developer works very slowly, I probably developed the paper for at least 15 minutes. One advantage is that it seems impossible to over develop….I’m sure in the past with regular chemistry I have watched things develop too fast and have failed to catch them at the right point. The only problem seemed to be that there was a bit of staining with the long developing time. I also sustained a few scratches on the print and I think in future I will not use tongs, just my fingers, maybe gloves. I might also try a warm solution and see if that speeds things up a bit. I used a vinegar stop bath and my ancient hypam as fixer. I don’t know how these negative paper images will last but I don’t really mind as I now have them safely scanned. I tried to scan them at as high a resolution as I could but my scanner struggles with 1200dpi and leaves strange lines. Then into photoshop they go, get inverted and twiddled a bit to bring out the best that can be found. I think better exposures will yield better results, but I am happy to have the system working this well. I could do with advice about keeping paper and film clean, not getting watery smudges and hairs and the like….any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello, I sell art as cell phone wall-papers on a popular site called myxer. I got an account there because I’m in a band so I figured I’d start selling my art there as well. It’s a safe way to sell your art because it’s small when it’s a wall paper. If anyone else wants to sell then we can work out a 50% spit and it won’t cost you anything. The selling of my wall-papers will be advertised on www.blogus.proboards.com which is my free message board. Let me know.
