nswRISG on RedBubble

I'm so excited!

After a couple of hectic weeks trying to sort out the legalities, the financials, & the technicalities of artwork the NSW Reference & Information Services Group finally has a RedBubble account and some tee shirts to sell (at no profit I might add) promoting just some of the various activities they're currently involved in - #bookbinge & #risg2010 for starters.

Check it out - http://www.redbubble.com/people/nswrisg


10-15 days delivery is advertised but I was lucky & my shirts arrived in only 3 business days.


A huge thankyou to the RA team for floating the tee shirt idea & to Ellen for all her hard work in dealing with the legalities & financial aspects (making sure we don't make a profit & don't breach any Australian laws). I have to say I had fun playing with the artwork & using GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) for the very first time.

Playing with graphics

I've spent the last 2 days playing with RedBubble - www.redbubble.com.au - and Gimp - www.gimp.org - turning images from one sphere into wearable art in another sphere. Challenging. Scary. Rewarding. Fun (my bank balance may never recover from the resultant retail therapy!!)
