uduforu 2.0: more creativity, Redbubble, and WhiteWall Photo Prints
Image by Martin E. Dodge
Since March 2025, I have created a new website for uduforu, switched the sale of uduforu merchandise to a Redbubble store, and added retail options for premium photo prints on the website. The process involved transferring web domains, setting up a website on a different hosting platform, and an avalanche of details and follow-up steps. The pace became furious on May 4 and returned to normal on June 6. But here is the uduforu news I consider exciting.
I have wanted to change how retail works at uduforu for a while, but was unsure of how to proceed. Ultimately, I decided to let my losing battle with social media marketing go and remove the cumbersome product grid pages from the website. Instead, I focused the website's messaging on my creative work. To continue selling retail, Redbubble.com was the best choice for my print-on-demand needs, and Redbubble regularly offers sales and pricing I couldn’t compete with on my own. Marketing is still a problem for uduforu, but many people shop on Redbubble, and I am making sales.
As a finishing touch for the new website, I added premium photo prints by WhiteWall, an award-winning fine art print shop. Posters, prints, and cards of my photos are available on uduforuDesigns at Redbubble.com, and the quality is excellent. However, I wanted to offer superior-quality prints of my finest pictures for Pics by Martin E. Dodge.
The rest of 2025 will be dedicated to my photography. I am finally comfortable with my camera gear and various ways to lug it around efficiently. I am excited to collect images for my Pics, but I will add more Designs and Tales along the way. However, the uduforu thing has not replaced my job, which pays the bills, so balancing time between my creative pursuits remains a struggle. The skills I use for my Designs, Pics, and Tales overlap in too many ways to reduce the list to a single item.
The uduforu Blog posts in March, June, September, and December. Announcements about new Designs, Tales, or uduforu news will be mixed in between. Join my email newsletter at uduforu.com to stay in the loop. My social media is purposefully limited, and I am still experimenting with Substack and Bluesky. I will eventually get better at them and post more frequently. Meanwhile, I appreciate any support from you, whether you:
