Pet & Animal Art Inspirations, and Creations

Ranked #8,790 in Pets & Animals, #222,593 overall

Inspired by Pets & Animals

My two ferrets, Ponc and Sparky, inspire me. It - inspiration - may come simply by watching them scratch an itch and seeing what looks like a smile appear on their face. Perhaps one is squatting on his belly trying to get a glimpse of what's beyond through a space between a door and the floor of, or laying on his back at my feet begging to be scratched on the belly. Simple ferret activity = inspiration not to mention amusement.

This pencil drawing which I have now used for certain products at Visages (www.zazzle.com/visages*), my Zazzle store, was one of the produced (and yet-to-be-produced) inspirations. You can be inspired too. All you need is a camera, the willingness and YOUR inspiration whether it's through a pet, a child, a relative, or nature. Get your picture, have a huge print made and hang it on your wall. Do it and you will have created your own art.

That all said, leave me a comment. Give me a thumbs up for posts. But most of all, go visit us at Visages... www.zazzle.com/visages.

Envy creeps in when I look at what people can draw, paint, create, photograph for Christmas. This doesn't exclude the art of Trina Clark at digiscrapkits.com who's liberal Terms of Use made it possible for me to use her clip art. I think she's smart. What better way to get yourself known than to freely allow commercial usage of your art! She only asks that she be given credit which is more than fair. Enjoy her art.

Panda Bear Inspired

Inspiration Through Animals and Nature

Unique Panda Bear Aprons

Unique Panda Bear Aprons


Lately, I've been inspired to create panda bears. Actually, someone wanted me to draw a panda for them then add it to an apron in my Zazzle store. I guess she liked it because I sold two of one of my panda designs this past week.

To further inspire me, I used my stuffed panda teddy. So dang cute her is... Er, ahem... Anyway, I plopped her little stuffed body down on my coffee table and set to work.

I even used Panda Bear Cookie on the outside of a binder for use as a recipe book. I'm thinking now I need to see if Zazzle sells 3x5 index cards. I could add him on to a card and sell it as recipe cards! Voila!

NOTE: After doing a search, I found recipe cards exist on Zazzle. Hurray! Off I go to design...Panda Bear Picture Dinner Plate

Dog Inspired

Dogs: Both wonderful and a pain in the butt. Our girl, Tsailie (pronounced say-lee) has to be walked on a leash otherwise she'll run away. This Rhodesian Ridgeback - at just over 90 lbs - has to go out rain or shine, 113 degrees to -10 and gusty winds, snowing, blistering hot, it just doesn't matter. We do however get a reprieve when it's lightning outside. She's a big chicken and won't pee or poop if there's even a chance it'll thunder.

FrankenFerret Shirt

FrankenFerret Shirt
Funny ferret T-ShirtsWhen an artist is creating their imagination goes amuck. Images flit through so quickly it's difficult to rerun them but eventually something sticks which is what happened with this FrankenFerret shirt. There I was sitting peacefully in my recliner using my imagination while watching the ferrets play when suddenly... POOF... an image big as day popped into my brain of my Albino, Sparky, dressed as Frankenstein.

I naturally had to set to drawing and painting then - of course - apply the finished piece to stuff like mugs, T shirts, keychains.

Yes, we're an odd lot and there's no telling what will come through our brains.
