After coming in 3rd in a Redbubble challenge my little Fiat 500 T shirt has been featured today on the Redbubble home page. This is my first feature and I’m way pleased!!
Fiat 500 – Ciao! T Shirt
:: Filed under Redbubble, TshirtThis one’s conveniently coloured for another Redbubble challenge.
I like to do technical designs and this design classic is a worthy subject. The little 1957 Fiat 500 certainly has personality, and if it could – would be winking at you and saying .. Ciao!
Advanced Search Greasemonkey Script for Redbubble
:: Filed under RedbubbleI just can’t stop writing Greasemonkey scripts for redbubble. This one allows you to actually perform more targeted searches from anywhere within the site.
Pedal for Metal – Hit the distortion T-Shirt
:: Filed under music, Redbubble, TshirtEco President – Who needs oil? My one and only Obama shirt
:: Filed under Parody, Tshirt
OK I relented and finally whipped up an Obama T.
This actually features me (virtually – as I wouldn’t ‘actually’ fit) in the hot seat.
The image is obviously light-hearted, and I guess time will tell whether the message gets through…
Tools to help make life easier on Redbubble for artists
:: Filed under RedbubbleIf you’re a RedBubbler (you use redbubble.com) and you have works for sale then you might be interested in the following GreaseMonkey UserScripts I’ve created to make using the site (as a contributor) easier: All are available on UserScripts.org and can be browsed at my profile.
I’ve written Redbubble Journal entries about each script, which also links to my site for the scripts themselves but I’ve added a brief desription of each below:
Redbubble Work Stats Retriever: (for your own analysis in Excel etc)
This allows you to grab a snapshot of your current stats (as seen in the T-Shirts, Art, Journal, Calendars and Writing pages) direct from your My Bubble page, via a single click of a ‘Retrieve CSV stats’ link. The stats are output at the bottom of the screen in an Excel-friendly format.
Install the Script: from UserScripts.org, from my site | read the journal entry
Redbubble Stats Scraper: (as above but v1)
This is the little brother of the script above, and works directly on the T-Shirts, Art, Journal, Calendards and Writing pages to show current stats for the items you’re looking at (some people may still prefer this version).
Install the Script: from UserScripts.org, from my site | read the journal entry
Redbubble Link converter: To create links and image tags from any page
This allows you to retrieve Rebubble-friendly link markup for any link or image by simply holding down Ctrl+Shift while you click. You can then just copy and paste the text straight into a Redbubble description, comment or forum.

:: Filed under RedbubbleWorst case Scenarios – Landing a 747
:: Filed under UncategorizedI love that people actually write things like this guide on how to land a 747.
One of my faviourite books is the ‘Worst Case Scenario Handbook’, where you’ll find how to safely jump from a moving car, wrestle a croccodile and all manner of other stuff. The illustrations are also pretty cool. You can find most of this online now, and buy the book.
Great books for Top Gear Fans

:: Filed under UncategorizedComing from the place, I never realised how maps over the ages ‘big up’ their own country. The UK size and shape particularly differs quite a bit…
