Amongst the raft of social networking sites there’s a new kid on the block that offers something a bit different. Forget your trashy 15 days of Internet fame upload your junk and home video social networking monsters. Melbourne based redbubble is class.

Artists present their work in a stark gallery environment where subtle design and minimal navigation makes viewing the work a pleasure. This “boutique” theme really works to keep things clean and highlight the images, which as it turns out are for sale. Anyone can choose an image and order a high quality print.

You can order your prints in different sizes either framed or not. Most of the images on redbubble are photographs, the quality of which is astounding. So you’ll have no trouble finding something you like.

Alternately you might like to sell your own images from the site. Membership is free, once you’re registered you can get straight into uploading your images. Here’s the best bit, start selling straight away. This is the secret of redbubbles success. Even though most serious artists by now have their own web site very few of them will have the technology that will allow them to sell their work online.

Setting up to sell your work is pretty simple, you determine the amount of commission you would like to charge, nominate the bank account you want to money deposited into and you’re off .

Redbubble is a vibrant online artist’s community, were ideas and dreams are exchanged. You can enjoy the experience, participate or purchase. Either way it’s great to see an Australian initiative that rewards creativity and contribution.
