pixiedesign

Tell me 5 things everyone should know about you

1 all of my designs are from original illustrations, some are then painted, but mostly these days i finish them by computer ( i love the way you can just change something if you don't like it, no chance with painting by hand)

2 i have my own website where i print my designs on a small range of products using sublimation and inkjet

3 i am addicted to shoes, well boots really , and a lot of my designs are based on my love of shoes, my eldest son has inherited shoe addiction and is coveting a pair of hi pro keds from zazzle.

4 i mainly like drawing things for kids, although my sales come mostly from the adult stuff

5 i have four sons who are heavily involved in sports, so i don't have much spare time for drawing

How has zazzle changed your life/lifestyle? i now spend every spare minute on there or drawing to put a design on there, i have learnt alot more about using computers and even a little bit about html and i love every minute of it

Do you have any formal art or computer training?
I did art at school and got an o level (when they still existed) but nothing since then, i am now doing a childrens illustration course at the london art college.

What advice would you give a friend if they wanted to try zazzling? definitely give it a go, but you have to put the hours in, and do the promotional stuff as much as you can

What would you say if you were introduced to a stranger and they were wearing on of your Tshirts?
i would probably say in excitement "you are wearing my t shirt" which would be terribly embarrassing and confusing for the poor soul wearing it, then I would try and explain myself, lol

If you had to pick a birthday card for someone, from any shop that is NOT yours, which would you pick and why? i love the design, the colours, and the way the number four is made out of rope, a kid would love this
