The accountants did the final tally and the check is ready. Thanks to the efforts of everyone in the Zazzle Community that helped build the Support Earthquake Relief in Japan Store, we all donated $12,507.34 to the Japanese Red Cross to aid recovery efforts following the terrible earthquake and tsunami. It was a true worldwide effort. Zazzle created the store and an official shirt, Sellers created their own special products and donated royalties, and customers donated by purchasing all of these items. We at Zazzle would just like to say thank you to everyone! It was great to see folks from every corner of the globe helping those suffering in Japan, and we are proud that the power of the Zazzle platform was able to make it possible. Of course, recovery efforts in Japan are not over. For those wishing to continue to assist in the ongoing recovery efforts, we encourage you to visit the Japanese Red Cross and donate.

New Zazzler Zoe, from the Zazzle stores ZozoCats and ZozoCards, talks to us about her influences and her time as a Zazzler. Check out the interview below and don’t forget to check out her stores ZozoCats and ZozoCards!
Zazzle: Give us a brief bio, where you are from and when you started making art?
Zoe: I’m from Surrey in the South East of England. I always loved art, and my creative family very much encouraged my messy pursuits. After leaving school I went on to get a Degree in Design Crafts. Whilst I was completing this course I made a lot of sculptural wire figures. I started to design these figures using pen and ink illustrations, and that’s how I started to draw in this clear linear style.
Zazzle: How would you describe your style?
Zoe: I think my style is light hearted and whimsical.
Zazzle: What’s your favorite medium to use?
Zoe: I use a few different mediums, but if I had to pick just one it would have to be an old fashioned dip pen and ink.
Zazzle: When you’re not creating art, what are your other hobbies?
Zoe: I like to spend a lot of my spare time outside – I like to take walks and get some exercise, which is very important when you spend lots of time inside drawing! I also like cooking, especially baking large tasty cakes.
Zazzle: What has been your favorite design you’ve created, and why?
Zoe: That’s a tricky one, but I really like this Mother and Baby Bird iPhone case I’ve just added!
Zazzle: What is your favorite Zazzle product to create?
Zoe: These questions are tough! Buttons, cards, necklaces, shoes, so many pleasing products! I was considering opening a more specialist store but I just couldn’t decide which product!
Zazzle: Being a new seller on Zazzle, what are you looking forward to the most?
Zoe: Creating some products that I have not yet tried, like skateboards and calendars. I’m looking forward to adding to ranges like stationary, invitations, and photo templates for various products that could do with a boost. Also, I hope to one day become a ProSeller!
Zazzle: What got you interested in selling your art on Zazzle?
Zoe: I was selling on art and craft sites online. I didn’t have enough space to keep a whole load of stock so I just sold very small things like cards, badges, magnets, and art prints on demand. I seemed to spend all of my time printing, assembling, and packaging. From reading art blogs I discovered that Zazzle existed, and might just solve that problem.
Zazzle: What tips can you give someone who is just starting out on Zazzle?
Zoe: Keep going, be patent, have confidence your work. Be clear about how you are going to organize your shop from the outset, because organization is going to get so much more difficult when you have thousands of products! Find the Quick Create button early on, but don’t abuse it!
Thanks Zoe!
How have you used Zazzle differently…recently? Maybe a mounted rendition of Da Vinvi’s Last Supper done with 12 skateboard decks? Yeah? Well if you’re Zazzle and Artsprojekt Seller, Pale Horse that’s exactly what you did! Check out the pics below of The Last Fiesta featuring Jesus Christos and his 12 Luchador apostles. Pale Horse created this as the centerpiece in his Saints and Sinners show in St. Petersburg, FL. To me, this is the perfect example of art growing. He made art by making the skateboards on Zazzle. Then turning them into another art piece, he grew the art and showed how customization and creativity build on each other as the artist creates – art becomes more art.
Share how you’ve used Zazzle in an interesting way in the comments and get featured on the blog!
