Our Next Artist/Designer Is Debi Payne From Las Vegas. Nevada

Below, she will tell us about herself and her work:
 
My name is Debi Payne and I am a freelance artist. Over the years I have dabbled in many mediums for creating my art. After trying many different mediums the ones that I enjoy working in the most are watercolor and colored pencil. For years I have wanted to create art to be used on products. One day, a few months ago, quite by accident, I stumbled across the Zazzle website. I was so excited to find Zazzle.com because this was the first opportunity I had found to explore and experiment with adding my art to different products. In the very short time that I have had my Zazzle store I have really enjoyed working with it daily to create new art and new products.

Our Newest Artist Is Teal Newcomb From Wisconsin

Below she will tell us about herself and her work:


I've had a love for nature and fantasy related art since I was very young, my favorite themes are fantasy landscapes and exotic creatures. I work almost exclusively in traditional media, I usually use some combination of watercolors, pro markers, acrylic, gouache, micron pens and gel pen.

I found out about Zazzle through another seller about a year ago, and it's been a very positive experience for me, without Zazzle I wouldn't have the ability to sell my artwork on so many different products and reach so many potential fans and customers.

In her free time she enjoys painting, gardening, knitting, hiking, reading.


Below are photos of her favorites with links to her Zazzle products:

Our Latest Artist Is Carla

 Below she tells us about her work and Zazzling:

My name is Carla, and I'm pretty new at Zazzle but not so new at drawing, which I've been doing for most of my life.  My favorite medium is pen and ink, but I'm partial to any kind of hand rendered illustration.    To adapt this hand drawn style to Zazzle has made me learn how to use Illustrator and work in a digital/hand drawn combination.  I love the ease and non-mess factor of digital, but I still love drawing with a real pen!  I consider myself a Zazzle beginner, but I've come a long way in a short time, just by trying new things and getting my store together.  I also have a .blog

The only thing I want to say is that I love creating things with Zazzle, but I'm super new and it's all a very big learning experience!

Our Newest Artist Is Peter McPartlin From United Kingdom

Below he will tell us a bit about himself, and his work:
 
MY BIO (I AM NOT AN ARTIST I AM JUST A MAN WHO PAINTS.L.S.LOWRY).... I have been painting as an amateur artist on and off for many years  .I have over the years developed a very unusual use of colour and content, which I now know from experience appeal to many people,  Including individual collectors and dealers . Newcastle upon Tyne England has been a hotbed of heavy Industry since the beginning of the industrial revolution, most of which has now gone forever.  A lot of my paintings are recollections of youthful images of the period, late 1940s and 1950s.  They are inspired by local naïve and primitive pitmen artists I am also an admirer of L.S.LOWRY, and the great American artist EDWARD HOPPER .AND GRANMA MOSES among others.  All images are copyright of Peter McPartlin,  All Rights Reserved.  Any prints are for private, non commercial use.  You may not copy or redistribute these images without my written permission.

Our Latest Artist Is Chris MacDonald

Below he will tell us a bit about himself and his work:

Hello, my name is Chris MacDonald and I am a self-taught digital artist that operates PackRat Graphics.  Now don't look away just because I said self-taught, check my work out first before you form an opinion.  You might be surprised!  I chose Zazzle a few years ago after researching the popular PODs, and even then I could tell Zazzle was going to be in the lead and soon.

I don't have a certain style or subject. I create whatever pops in my head.  And I guess another thing that might set me apart from the other artists on Zazzle is that I'm am one of the few, that I know of, that creates everything using only Open Source Software.  My softwares of choice are Blender, GIMP, and Inkscape.

Believe it or not, I started out as a traditional artist.  I painted landscapes for approximately 15 years using oils. Then I discovered computer graphics, and then discovered Zazzle.  Now I'm a ProSeller.  One byproduct of always working on designs is my kids have taken up an interest in art and are always begging for art lessons.

Following are some of his designs, with an embedded link to that product:

Our Newest Artist Is Nikki Burnette From Lawrenceville, Georgia

Below she will tell us a little bit about herself, and her work:

My name is Nikki Burnette, I'm 26, and am fortunate to have a "close knit" Family that totally supports my work. Originally, I am from Cleveland, Ohio but, now live in the Atlanta area.

I am an Artist during the day and I paint fantasy art in primarily watercolors and ink. I use watercolors because I just love the way they blend and the way I'm able to create beautiful backgrounds. I can also use them in a more opaque manner to create the foregrounds. They are very versatile.

I found Zazzle because other artists like me were selling on Zazzle and I thought it was amazing that I could offer my artwork on such a variety of products. Who wouldn't want to see their artwork on a Keds Shoe or a binder? It's very cool! I have been with Zazzle for about two years now and I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
