    Those of you who have visited my portfolio – and to those who haven’t, do it now – will know that I take an awful lot of animal shots. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it’s my favourite subject. But there’s one subject that I have so far manifestly failed to capture. One animal that continually eludes me: Man. He’s a pretty widespread and common creature, to be found roaming in most areas of the country, and yet succeeding in capturing him in his habitat is a tricky business. Attempts to take pictures of natural behaviour can often be met with hostility – sometimes a hard stare, increasingly likely with the warning cry of, ” ‘Ere, who said you could take my effing picture!” Very rarely, there can be attacks, usually by the male of the species. Should you encounter a male of the latter variety, it is probably best to back away slowly and assume a submissive posture before running like hell. As with other animals in the wild, a zoom lense can be of great use, but you should make sure you are behind cover before attempting to take a picture. If you are spotted, the animal may freeze, or worse, start posing, and you will be unable to achieve the candid shot you were after. One way is to attempt a portrait in a controlled environment – but for a wildlife photographer like myself, that seems second best. It is always going to lack that spontaneous feel, however accomplished the portrait. The best way, then, is to focus on a particular individual, let it get used to you, put it at ease and then, slowly, bring out the camera. Let it see the camera as part of you and eventually, after a while, you should have gained its trust enough to be able to take its picture. This method, of course, takes a lot of time and patience and will probably require the expenditure of a fair amount of money for foodstuffs and gifts with which to buy its affections. For myself, I’m still trying. Even now, after nearly ten years of marriage, I’ve yet to convince her…

    Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is usually the husband. When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first: the truck, the car, e-mail, fishing, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. “When you finish cutting the grass,” I said, “you might as well sweep the driveway.” The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

  • Loving tribute to a loving woman - Anna Kaye - my wife

    Well here it is, my dearest – publicly professed and declared. A tribute to the woman who has gladly taken into her bosum, a breathtaking affection to one who stands in awe of such a joy…Each and everyday is a mystery- a suspense story of how the events of the day shall unfold as the petals of a carnation to display a wonder and a glory thus unknown. It is my husbandly duty to nurture this love unconditional as Messiah has done for me -us. That your regard for me is undaunted by resentment, jealousy or anger; freeflowing tributaries to fill over the banks and feed harvest grain, producing hundredfold graces into the lives of others. / Thus it shall be my legacy; to have loved as ‘Noah cared for Allie’. To herald this legacy to my last breath shall be my greatest quest. Nicholas Spark’s ‘The Notebook’ and New Line Cinema Production 2004

    Just wanted to give a quick thank you to anyone who already has, or will at some point in the future stop by, take a look, and possibly even comment on my work. Even if you were to type something like “Your work sucks and your hair sucks even harder.” That’s fine, that’s cool, in fact, I admire your honesty, lovely overuse of the word suck and most of all moxie. It’s been much too long since I’ve gone out of my way to show my work to other creative, and talented people. No matter what kind of art you make I think you can get too closed off from other creative people (especially if you’re anything like me and you work out of your house in your boxers all day long, and generally don’t shower until one in the afternoon.) No offense to my wife but she couldn’t draw a stick figure if the fate of all mankind rested on it, and the last time I told her I wanted to go to an art museum she groaned loud enough to cause a minor Southern California tremor. What I’m saying is that it’s good to get feedback from people who don’t look at you like you’re speaking gibberish when you say the word “gouache.” So far I’m hip to the redbubble, word. (that was me trying to be young and cool and failing.) I think I’ll stick around for a bit. Steve~

    Holy moley green guacamole things have been busy lately! Lots of work and lots of family stuff has made it a wee bit difficult to get around to putting up any work or commenting on anyones work, or even singing into Redbubble lately. Add all of that to the fact that I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping and you’ve got a recipe for disaster more annoying than a weekend long marathon of Ben Affleck movies. (Which, as you might imagine is AMAZINGLY annoying!) Anyway, hopefully I’m entering a bit of a downspell and hopefully that’ll mean throwing something up on here more often. Hopefully. I don’t like making promises, so we’ll just stick with hopefully. Hopefully is good. Hopefully leaves the door open for failure, and since failure is a very real possibility at this point I think I’m making the right choice in leaving it open. While I was away I sold a couple shirts (many thanks to whomever bought those) and fellow Bubbler ROBIN MONROE who is a beck of a talented painter, bought a card featuring my SAILING THROUGH HOKUSAI art. Thanks Robin and I hope you like it. Before I wrap this up, my wife has been snapping some pictures of me early in the morning and we think that we’ve discovered the reason I’m not getting any sleep. The stupid cats seem to think my head is their bed. (Don’t give me any guff on the black and white stripped quilt. I’ve had it since I was a kid, it’s ugly as sin, it needs to be thrown away, I’ve heard it all from my wife more than once. I’ll tell you the same thing I tell her…it’s not going anywhere. That’s right, I’m a thirty year old Linus. Deal with it.) Steve! /

    I received this via an email so I imagine others will have recieved it too, I don’t know who wrote it orginally but it is soooo cute I just had to share it. The “Middle Wife” by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two kids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one I saw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back. When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have a few sessions with my students. It helps them get over shyness and usually, show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kids bring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish they catch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place any boundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it in to school and talk about it, they’re welcome. Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. “This is Luke, my baby brother, and I’m going to tell you about his birthday.” “First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, and then Dad put a seed in my Mom’s stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord.” She’s standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I’m trying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me. The kids are watching her in amazement. “Then, about two Saturdays ago, my Mom starts saying and going, ‘Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!’ Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. “She walked around the house for, like an hour, ‘Oh, oh, oh!’ Now this kid is doing a hysterical duck walk and groaning. “My Dad called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn’t have a sign on the car like the Domino’s man. They got my Mom to lie down in bed like this.” Then Erica lies down with her back against the wall. “And then, pop! My Mom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!” This kid has her legs spread with her little hands miming water flowing away. It was too much! “Then the middle wife starts saying ‘push, push,’ and ‘breathe, breathe. They started counting, but never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff that they all said it was from Mom’s play-center, so there must be a lot of toys inside there.” Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I’m sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, when it’s show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, just in case another “Middle Wife” comes along. Now you have two choices…laugh and close this page or share this with someone else to spread the laughs. I know what I did!!!

    Thought some of you ladies out there may be interested in reading this little gem. My daughter is getting married soon and this article appeared in one of her wedding magazines. It is an article from Housekeeping Monthly, 13 May 1955..How things have changed, well in our house anyway..Enjoy 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed. 2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. 3. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. 4. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. 5. Gather up school books, toys, paper, etc and then run a dish cloth over the tables 6. During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. 7. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. 8. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet. 9. Be happy to see him. 10. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. 11. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. 12. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or even stays out all night, or goes out for dinner, or other places without you. Instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. 13. Don’t greet him with complaints and problems. 14. Your Goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. 15. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. 16. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. 17. Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. 18. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. 19. A good wife always knows her place.

  • From YellowJacket's wife ...

    Our friend “YellowJacket” (Paul) passed away recently … his wife Merlyne wished to convey thanks to the Redbubble family, as follows: Dear Red Bubble friends, Everyone has been so very compassionate with your words of concern. Please accept a big THANK YOU from my heart. I still find it hard to believe that people in such large numbers from all around the world take time from their busy lives and respond to an announcement first that my Paul was not expected to live and then again at the announcement of his death. When my Paul first ask me to e-mail a web site to let the people know he was ill and would not be adding additional pictures, I said yes. I did not get to the task for a day or two and almost forgot. In fact I almost didn’t send that e-mail. But something spoke to me late one night after my Paul went into the coma and the doctors again stated that death was only hours away. From deep inside a voice was saying I had a promise to keep. I wondered why it was so important to let one or two people know on this certain web site that my Paul would no longer send them pictures. But i put his computer on my lap, opened it up and the first thing that popped up was “Red Bubble”. Though tears, I sent the message. The response was almost immediate and continued as the news spread around the world. As part of my eulogy for Paul, I did read some of those responses for those gathered at his memorial service. They too were most amazed. Not so much that Pastor Paul, as many knew him, had a way about him to make friends but by the sheer numbers of those friends from around the world who had never met him face to face but were still willing to respond with such compassion. In closing I ask one small favor from each and every one of you wonderful people, however. Please continue to be “YOU”! Continue to make friends of all. Continue to make friends though your art form. And continue to enjoy your passion of photography for as long as you are able. I am sure if your Yellow Jacket would be here today, he would be asking you for that same small favor. While that is not possible, I will ask for him, It is such a small favor to ask and one that all you wonderful people are so good at – continue to be “YOU”! THANK YOU again and again and again for your compassion expressed to me and your wonderful words for my Paul, your Yellow Jacket. Most likely, he is still viewing and enjoying all your pictures!!! May the blessing of our Lord Jesus be with you always, / Merlyne

    Joe wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his Company’s Annual Staff Party. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong. Joe had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the night stand. Next to them was a single red rose! / Joe sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house. / / He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a his huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: / Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. / I love you, Darling! / Love, / Jillian / / He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. / / Joe asks: “Son… what happened last night?” / / Joe’s son responds: “Well, you came home after 3 A.M drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and you got that black eye when you ran into the door.” / / Confused, Joe asked his son, “So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose on my nightstand, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me.” / / His son replies, “Oh THAT!. Well, Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, ‘Leave me alone bitch, I’m married!’ / / Broken Coffee Table: $239.99 / Hot Breakfast : $4.20 / Two Aspirin : $.38 / Saying the right thing, at the right time…...priceless!! (First time I heard this joke when it was not about a biker!)

    I’ve just seen the trailer for this movie, adapted from the book of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger Trailer I’m a sci-fi fan, always have been and always will be. / My wife is romance and vampires, always has been etc etc / We both loved the book and I’ll hold my hand up and say when I heard they were finally making a film of it I told the wife we were going to see it. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. The trailer however, does not remind me of any book I’ve read, and I am a little bit nervy now about heading out to see it. All I can hope for is that the marketing people have detected quite a bit of nervousness from the studio and have decided to pitch the film at all those girlies who are sitting around just waiting for the next “Twilight” installment. “Look see!” they say to the executives, thrusting their statistics firmly across the table. “The women are gonna love it”. They’ve done this before with a number of films as mentioned above. I mean the trailer for “Bridge to Terabithia” looked like another “Lord of the Rings” to me. Nothing like what I finally saw when I came to watch it on DVD. If I’m right then the downside is that there will be a lot of cinema goers who will come away disappointed with the film. Not because its bad but because it didn’t live up to their expectations. If I’m wrong then I am going to be bitterly disappointed with it and will fervently pray that hollywood NEVER EVER makes a movie from one of my favorite books again.

  • 100th Journal entry: Celebrated with a Sale of a Matted Print

    9 July and a sale of a matted print! Many many thanks to the person buying The Good Wife Guide !http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/a…

    9 July and a sale of a matted print! Many many thanks to the person buying The Good Wife Guide The Good Wife’s Guide is a magazine article rumored to have been published in the May 13, 1955 issue of Housekeeping Monthly, describing how a “good wife” should act. The text and supposed scan of the article have been widely circulated via email. Lack of corroborating evidence has cast significant doubt on its origins. The article intends to represent an attitude of gender inequality that many no longer accept. The footnote is my own.

Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shape, although they usually are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting. Savory varieties, such as cornbread muffins, also exist. They generally fit in the palm of an adult hand, and are intended to be consumed by an individual in a single sitting. Muffin can also refer to a different baked good: the smaller, disk-shaped English muffin, although this usage is uncommon outside of the Commonwealth of Nations. As American-style muffins are also sold in Commonwealth countries, the term muffin can refer to either product, with the context usually making clear which is meant. There are many varieties and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot. These ingredients are then baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals. Muffin, slang for a woman’s vagina.

    Many thanks to the custom…

    Many thanks to the customer who has just bought a”Morning Has Broken” Card on Zazzle. Thankyou for your visit to my store! Calla Lilies (Zantedeschias) make good house plants with attractive brilliant white flowers and heart or arrow-shaped leaves. Zantedeschia is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to southern Africa from South Africa north to Malawi. The name of the genus was given as a tribute to Italian botanist Giovanni Zantedeschi (1773-1846) by the German botanist Kurt Sprengel (1766 – 1833). Common names include Arum lily for Z. aethiopica, calla, and calla lily for Z. elliottiana and Z. rehmannii although it is neither a true lily (Liliaceae), nor Arum or Calla (related genera in Araceae). It is also often erroneously spelled as “cala lily”. It has often been used in many paintings, and is visible in many of Diego Rivera’s works of art (see The Flower Vendor, amongst others). The Zantedeschia are rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plants growing to 1-2.5 m tall with leaves 15-45 cm long. The inflorescence is a showy white, yellow or pink spathe shaped like a funnel with a yellow, central, finger-like spadix. The Zantedeschia species are very poisonous, capable of killing livestock and children. “All parts of the plant are toxic, and produce irritation and swelling of the mouth and throat, acute vomiting and diarrhea.” T-shirts, Unique Gifts, Posters, Art and more! / At my ZAZZLE store Female Contemporary Art you can instantly create and customise my art to your own personal style. / / / My zazzle gallery has a premium range of gifts that are suitable for people of all ages and tastes: an eclectic collection of unusually imaginative, hip and sometimes beautiful designs.

Wikipedia here Kitsch (/kɪtʃ/) is the German and Yiddish word denoting art that is considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art. The term kitsch was a response to the 19th century art whose aesthetics convey exaggerated sentimentality and melodrama, hence, kitsch art is closely associated with sentimental art. Moreover, kitsch (art) also denotes the types of art that are like-wise æsthetically deficient (whether or not it is sentimental, glamorous, theatrical, or creative) making it a creative gesture that merely imitates the superficial appearances of art (via repeated conventions and formulae), thus, it is uncreative and unoriginal; it is not Art. Contemporaneously, kitsch also (loosely) denotes art that is æsthetically pretentious to the degree of being in poor taste, and to industrially-produced art-items that are considered trite and crass. From Wikipedia here Pop art is a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States.[1] Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist’s use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of Fine Art. Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it. / Pop art is an art movement of the twentieth century. Characterized by themes and techniques drawn from popular mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects, pop art is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, as well as an expansion upon them. Pop art, aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any given culture, most often through the use of irony.] It is also associated with the artists’ use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques Buying 3 T-Shirts gets you FREE SHIPPING / Buying 3 T-Shirts gets you FREE SHIPPING Osteospermum plants originate from South Africa and the name is derived from the Greek osteon (= bone) and Latin spermum (= seed).
