Begining the Zazzle Journey - Starting a Store

We are artists and stock photographers, and were looking for other ways to expand and grow our small little company, when we found a merchandising site called Zazzle. So Robert decided to give it a try. But I was so bogged down with stock and sales that I didn't have time to really look into it. He put up a few images and just let them roll on the site, and we didn't get much response on it, so we kind of forgot it for a while. Then, in October, I was reading forums and looking around for a new project. I found the store again, and looked deeper into it. This was just what I was looking for! We created the images, and sold them online, but it was always just a piece of an end product, never the finished item. Here, I could use our images to make fun things, and actually put words to our art! I had some favorite images; I always thought they would look good on greeting cards or even on tee-shirts. So, with that in mind, I let myself wander through our catalog and chose some pictures to work with.

Man Series

Some of our landscapes were quite pretty, and we have several images that I always imagined hanging in our home. So, of course, I had to make some posters of our art. One of my favorite series is The Man series. I'm not sure if it's because they are fine art nudes, photos of my husband, or if it's because of the emotions we felt as we were shooting them. They are classic poses, images that are rarely seen anymore in current art. We wanted to show an emotional side, the fragile side that all men hide deep down. I think we did a pretty good job of it. They are available in most of our current product line.

Man

I Creator a Personal Journey by RGebbiePhoto

An inspirational journey through the emotions of Man. The artist takes an intimate look at pain and frustration, through words and photography. The words remain hopeful and inspiring, allowing the reader to personalize the experience.

This review is from: I Creator, a personal journey (Kindle Edition)
Robert and Lori give excellent insight into who they are and the troubles they have overcome in this delightful book. The writing provides person insights while the pictures convey the raw emotions.

Roar!

Our youngest model, Lauranne, is such a lively spark! She was just a tiny baby when she first hit our stock sites as a model, and we shot her every few months for her first 2 years. Then, a few months before her 3rd birthday, she was diagnosed with AML Leukemia. It's been a very rough road, watching her progress through her disease, but she's on her very last round of chemo right now, and is just about cancer free!! Her story has been documented by her mom at her caring bridge page, and with Kae's permission, we set up a line of products for those who want to donate and spread the hope that little Lauranne has given to us all! Team Lauranne products are available at our store.

Love in 3D

Robert also started working more with his 3D modeling, and of course, we had to do hearts, since Valentine's Day is fast approaching! So he made up some 3D heart images and off I went!! I have a few lines; one is playful and flirty, like the little conversation hearts you find all around. One line is a bit more%u2026 subtle. I call it my "Collared" line. I also have a "Hearts and Paws" line for our animal lovers. From funny to serious, we've got a bit of a selection to choose from.
