Products include prints, T-shirts, hoodies, cushions, duvet covers, leggings, skirts and scarfs.〔 An executive described the company as "a community of artists who upload their artwork in digital form."〔〔Editors of Photopreneur (2009) New Media Entertainment () ''99 Ways TO Make Money From Your Photos'', retrieved April 14, 2012〕 The company offers free membership to artists who maintain the copyrights to their work, regulate their own prices, and decide which products may display their images.〔Ryan, Paul (October 1, 2007)(Building Online Marketplaces ), ''Anthill Magazine'', retrieved April 4, 2012〕 The company was founded in 2006 by Martin Hosking, Peter Styles and Paul Vanzella after raising $2 million in investor capital.〔 In March 2014, it was reported that 51,900 artists have successfully sold their creations on Redbubble generating more than $15 million (AU) in earnings.
