Spotlight on Wild Williams
Wild Williams Zazzle store has a variety of "handmade" items. I have always been amazed by the beauty of the natural world and historic cultures. I have been drawing cartoons since grade school and over the years I have developed my own style of art and a "slightly wacked out" sense of humor.
Many of my designs are inspired by traditional southwest art and derived from close study of Native American motifs. Other designs such as my cartoons incorporate the personality traits of pets I have had throughout the years. Pet owners know that each animal possesses unique personality, perhaps better coined as pet-sonality traits, which can be endearing and recognized in my cartoon renditions.
I am now an art teacher and I enjoy the research of ancestral design and depicting animals as cartoons with humanistic traits as much as I take pleasure in the design process.
You can find my Zazzle store at: Wild Williams
I also have a web site at: www.WildWilliams.com
A favorite cartoon design is "Cat Chaser", which can be found on a t-shirt at:
I have also made a wacky YouTube video of them that can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/user/
Q: Tell us WHY they are your favorites!
A: I love creating cartoon animals and developing their personalities to match real animals I have known.
Answer the question "You know your a Zazzler when . . ."
…you go to bed and a new idea for a cool design pops into your head, then you dream about it and upon awakening you start sketching out your idea all day long on any available scraps of paper, by midnight you realize it is time put away your canvas or get away from the computer and go to bed.

Add 1 good piece of advice for new Zazzler's.
Develop your own style and be original! Buy one of your own products on a mug or mouse pad to keep you inspired and to remind you to work on your Zazzle creations daily. Don’t fall in love with your work and use it right away, wait 24 hours after finishing your design so you can look at it with fresh eyes and see if the design needs something. Quality and originality are key factors for creating winning designs.

Spotlight on Shopaholic Chick
This is one industrious girl! Here's her story . . .
My store is an odd collection of things I like and things my friends liked and asked me to make for them. I am a bit of a perfectionist so if they asked for something I would make 5-10 versions of what they asked for - and it would become a section in my shop - and sometimes a whole new shop!! My "B is for Birds" shop started because my friends 2 yr old son was in love with flamingos and she could not find him a boy t-shirt with a flamingo - so I made a shop starting with them - it just exploded from there!

shopaholicchick - I love this because i think the environment is very imporant and reusable grocery bags and shopping bags are great for the planet! Live Green Bag
Graduation Station - I love this card it has an old man on the front with his diploma and say on the front "I heard you were graduating and I just wanted to say..." and inside it has "took you long enough!" - it is funny for someone who has been studying a long time to finish their degree - or decided to go back to school after retirement
Binderific - this pretty yellow and white binder is perfect for a baby book. available in all 3 binder sizes the front is customizable with the baby's first photo between the baby foot prints below that is the baby's name, the baby's initials will be placed down the spine, with the date of birth on the back. it is so simple and pretty i just love it!

Same Sex Marriage - this old biracial same sex couple is so adoarble holding hands - showing everyone that you are never too old to be married - and spend your life with your true love Interracial gay couple t-shirt
Triple Goddess - i love the idea of the triple goddess, the 3 cycles of a woman's life maiden, mother and crone - and this is my take on that idea
Anime Nation - Chiyemi looks like she is coming right out of the cup Chiyemi Mug
What If... - I have a degree in History and everyone who has every taken a college course on WWII or modern German history has asked themselves - what if Hitler got into art school?
Occupation Station - i love every design in this shop so i randomly choose this girl who shows girls can do anything boys can do http://www.zazzle.com/
Left Handed Cards - i love this one - it is upside down because that way it opens for a lefty - it reads "'cuz lefties never do it right" and inside it says "congratulations" Cuz lefties never do it right card
B is for Birds - the wacky little bird just makes me smile - perfect for a morning coffee
