Hey Bill, happy New Year to you and your family! I love your new site. A trip down Memory Lane for me, so many of my RedBubble faves … I just used my last card of the Algarve dogs, and also my all-time fave, Heartbreak Hotel, so I’ll pop back onto RB and do a bit of retail therapy! Lovely to see Birdpuss here too: my first ever fave on RB, all the way back on 07. Those were the days. I fell out with them a bit for a while, as they couldn’t register a change of email address (excuse me, we put a few folk on the moon in 1968!), but sorted now, so I’m active again on that site, much though I regret where it has ended up. But someone bought something of mine just the other day, so I’ll stick it. Again, always a joy to see your wonderful work, you are an inspiration.

Happy New Year backatcha Denzil! OK, don’t get me started on RedBubble. Those were fabulous years when RB was just revving up, we were such a tight community and it was all about the artists and the art. The ability to sell via the site was the icing on the cake and that’s the way we all hoped it would stay. Of course with the growing number of contributors, the commercial side started making lots of money for the owners so it grew into a hard sell machine that has very little style and the artists are very much relegated to the closet. BUT… as you say, I don’t see there’s any point in closing down my account as people are buying my stuff and I don’t have to do jack. So now I’ve got a cool place where my stuff lives where I can make it all about me and my asylum of a mind AND I can link it to RB and still get gum money. Win / win. And btw, all three of those pics you mention are big personal faves so many thanks for your support. We seem to inspire each other and that is the ground zero of creativity. So cool to get your feedback !! xo
