New Zazzle Store, second time around

If you've been keeping up with this blog, you might have known about my first Zazzle store, which featured pictures from The Doll Project and, like a doomed love affair, ended far too soon. So while for now The Doll Project is going to remain exclusively on Society6, Zazzle has proven to be a great place for me to sell all sorts of products with my other artwork printed on them.  The images below are just a small sample of what I offer. With over 700 items, I may have gone a little bit overboard, but at least I don't have to warehouse it all in my studio because it's print-on-demand!

 

It's a great option, whether you are looking to treat yourself to something nice or need a special gift for someone who might be difficult to shop for. And as far as I can tell, everything is manufactured here in the United States. See the full range of products in my store:

And if there is anything you'd like to see me add to my lineup, feel free to let me know in the comments.

A Hot Night in Bridgeport

I spent a hot, muggy night visiting some art venues in Bridgeport. My first stop was the Throes of Progress show at the Bridgeport Art Center, which features work by my friend Kathy Weaver.

The show addresses difficult subject matter, including various accidents and tragedies. Many of the artists explore the ways in which technology endangers or fails us. The very notion of human progress is questioned in the face of human frailty and human error. The show continues through August 7th. See it if you can.

The Throes of Progress artists talked about their work in a panel discussion.

I love this piece by Kathy Weaver, Artifacts of War.

I also enjoyed seeing the Chicago's Best Abstract Muralists show at The Frame Shop. Lively and colorful work by several artists is featured in the gallery of this local framing shop.

My new Zazzle store

I had been thinking about doing this for months, and finally did it yesterday: creating a new store on Zazzle!  Now you can get prints from The Doll Project in a wider range of styles and on an even greater variety of products.

I am so happy to be able to sell the You Are Beautiful Too! shirts in additional sizes, including maternity and plus sizes, because after all, that's what the message is all about.

UPDATE, 7/10

If you liked what I had to offer, you should have bought it yesterday. Zazzle has decided to delete all my images with Barbies on them because of their annoying policies regarding trademarks. Imagine where we'd be if Andy Warhol got in trouble with Campbell's soup or Brillo pads. I am really disappointed because I put a lot of time and effort into creating my new products and was really excited about having another possible stream of income. At least I can still sell my work on Society6. Hopefully they will keep adding interesting new products for us to print our images on. If you're interested, here's the e-mail Zazzle sent me:
