Cathie T

Introduction (drum roll please) CathieT: photographer, T-shirt designer and aspiring writer. If her portfolio was a car boot, there be goodies galore in there to snap up and buy. Take a look at these:

When I asked CathieT what do you hope to achieve with your art? I loved her response. “An audience whose eyes don’t glaze over when I present another piece of art, to perhaps make someone smile, think or just say wow!” It’s honest and isn’t that what we all want as artists? And she may have said “I’ve found a lack of talent to be a major drawback…” but I don’t buy it and see it as a modest comment in jest. She has the “eye” and the skills to match.


_{Bath Night by CathieT}


Cathie is a member of the Adelaide Camera Club and is involved with a lot of online photography groups (although shamefully confesses she has neglected since Red Bubble came into her life). Her love of photography was spawned when she picked up her dad’s camera back in 2003. “I picked it up and was hooked. I think it kind of suits my “instant result” mentality.” She is also a devoted mother, wife and proud owner of a Canon 10D. “Bought from Steve Axford. Unfortunately, it seems to have forgotten everything he ever taught it!!” said Cathie. Well I’m sure it will have it’s flash backs. She has also done a couple of paid jobs, but doing it for the passion is what it’s all about for her.

So, if you haven’t seen CathieT’s portfolio, where have you been? Seriously, I highly recommend a visit.

Great Imagination Captured In 3D - Rose Moxon

Red Bubble has attracted a variety of artists. One exciting group of artists are those who create magical three dimensional (3D) fantasies.

One such artist is Rose Moxon. She calls herself a digital artist. Her works on Red Bubble and her website shows us she is an artist all rounder. Her imagination takes you on a fairieland fantasy, offers you a piece of heart and whisks you away on a fairie dance.

Her works has been recognised globally, in advertisements in China, Europe, UK and Australia. It has been used for the inside cover of The World Leasing Handbook three years running; an impressive achievement.

Now, she will be showcasing her fantasy heroes at the Conflux conference coming to Canberra, Australia. Her creations will be on display between the September 28th – October 1st; viewable to international best selling authors such as Garth Nix. It will be an opportunity not to miss. If you are interested in seeing Rose’s work at Conflux, please contact her for details. If you are unable to make it, more of her works can be found here at Red Bubble or at Daz3D.

Art has always been Rose’s passion. “I love painting and craftwork… have taken every opportunity to unleash my thoughts on paper,” says Rose. It seems there is nothing she can not do artistically. In the last two years, she has taken advantage of the digital platform and used it with leaps and bounds.

I giggled when she said, “I am pretty technologically challenged” after her delayed response towards an email I sent her. 3D art is not an easy skill to master and although you have programs such as Poser that try to make it a user-friendly tool. It is still a trick to learn. Rose, however, has mastered it with flying colours. It proves she is not afraid to test new mediums to ensure her imagination is brought to life.

It’s a pleasure to have her part of the Red Bubble community. Look forward to seeing her next fantasy.
