1st ever sale! by yshua_the_painteron Zazzle

1.What was the inspiration for your Zazzle Store? Kid friendly, silly, psychedelic animal art. Mainly I want to keep my own kids entertained.

2.Zazzle start date: January 2010

3.The feeling you had when you had your first sale? I was flabbergasted...I'm still amazed when someone likes something I've painted enough to by a shirt with the image or an ipad case...or a onesie for their kid. It takes my breath away every time.

4.What is your favourite product to design for? I love to put my pics on baby clothes...that's the most satisfying I think.

5.What keeps you at it? I love to create. Especially images that might make someone's day a little happier for a few minutes. That and it really relaxes me.

1st ever sale! by Those Cool Animalson Zazzle

1.What was the inspiration for your Zazzle Store? Easy. These creatures are all over the place.

2.Zazzle start date: Some time in february 2011, so it must be a year now!

3.The feeling you had when you had your first sale? I did not believe it - had to look at the notification again and again.

4.What is your favourite product to design for? I like the mugs, because you can never see the whole design and it is a challenge to use this to make it more interesting.

5.What keeps you at it? I am a deer and I live in the forest, so what else can I do but draw animals?

1st ever sale by Abstract Energy Studioson Zazzle

1.What was the inspiration for your Zazzle Store? My husband and I were already running a freelance all-purpose art services company since we were dating, but we weren't making any money. As college student newlyweds, we were in dire straights and knew we needed to make some changes or our business would sink.

2.Zazzle start date: January, 2012

3.The feeling you had when you had your first sale: I was ecstatic I screamed and giggled and my husband and I did a happy dance together. We both worried this would never work and with this sale from CA we suddenly had a spark of hope that it would.

4.What is your favourite product to design for? I love making iPad covers! I'm not sure why, it's just something about the fabric and the large flat surface makes my artwork look wonderful!

5.What keeps you at it? When we get an occasional sale from far away (like the UK which was our last sale), it lifts my spirits greatly and always makes me want to try even harder. It's so surreal to think that you are sitting in your own little bubble and people all over the world are seeing what you're doing and liking it. It's amazing.
