Just Made it to ZPro!

Its pretty cool to be rewarded for one's work and efforts, especially when you feel as new to the process as I still do. I finally have the ZPro symbol beside my name on my posts in the Forum! It is so exciting to me to see the visible sign of having achieved a certain level of success at Zazzle. The Autumn and Christmas sales are what pushed my sales over the top, though I'd been climbing along steadily.


This sort of reward is definitely motivating. This year I really need to learn how to promote more thoroughly, design better, stronger designs, and continue getting my nature and landscape photography up and develop my other shops. I'm having so much fun with it while at the same time finding an audience for my work. It is wonderful!

Ever since damaging my back at work and experiencing a powerful flare up of Fibromyalgia I haven't been able to do much work outside the home. It was discouraging (to say the least!) until I found Zazzle. No, Zazzle is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Not by a long shot. However, the longer I'm in it, the longer I'm building up my design and product repertoire, the more I see it as serious business and the more I take myself and my artwork seriously. Its amazing.

I'm in a wonderful learning curve at a 'school' that includes so many talented artists and designers: my fellow shopkeepers at Zazzle!

I am very thankful! And very excited! Dare I already imagine making it to the next ZPro level?

Why not!

  1. Congrats! Isn't it a wonderful feeling? It may just be a little symbol and a new forum to read and post in, but it is great motivation!

    Cheers!

A New Journey Begins

Funny how Dreams alter or are altered by the passage of time and changing circumstances. Perhaps as self-awareness deepens, the Dream must morph to accommodate this understanding or shift in paradigm.

The Journey and the Dream: each profoundly affect the other. The Dream breathes life and sustenance into the Journey, else it would be mere existence; a plodding certainty toward Death. For the Artist, a vision or dream is what drives the journey. As an artist, I am rediscovering my Vision and so my Journey begins anew.

About Me

My photo
I am a freelance visual artist and photographer. Almost anything can find its way into my subject matter and my muse is light - and dark! The drama of contrasts intrigue me. I'm beginning to delve into lifestyle and people portraiture. Life is an incredible journey and I am always amazed at where the journey leads me.
