10th Anniversary for September 11

10^th Anniversary for September 11 is two weeks away, and some of my related designs started selling from the middle of this month. So, I decided to finish one of the drafts I made a couple weeks ago, which is a yellow ribbon in stars and stripes with a heart on the top, and the messages of “9-11-2001” and “Never Forget.”

"Cat Waiting for Santa" design

My cat, a 4 year old male tabby, likes posing as a model for my products. I made him Santa this time.

I cropped a photo of the sitting cat, placed reindeer antlers on his head, and a Christmas present under his feet.

A cat dressing like a reindeer and sitting on the Christmas present waiting for Santa. Cute and unique Christmas gift for cat lovers.

Halloween Cats

I finished three Halloween designs with cats that I started working on a couple of weeks ago.

I placed my cat inside the pumpkin, and added texture on the graphics to create “Cat in Pumpkin.” Next, I placed a black cat on the pumpkin curved like the Obama logo to make “Halloween and Election 2012.” Next, I placed a black cat on a skull, and tried some blending modes and effects on pictures to make subtle black and white with the cat's eyes in green.

Singing bluebird with a proverb

I have been working this singing bluebird design little by little since a couple of weeks ago. I have an old bluebird that I made a couple years ago for CafePress. I modified the shape of the feathers of the bluebird, and made it look better for Zazzle products.

I copied the grapes from the old file and redrew new leaves and placed new ornaments back on the grapes. I placed the bluebird singing with musical notes, and wrote my favorite proverb, “Those who wish to sing always find a song.” This is the final products.

A Mischievous Cat Playing “Trick or Treat”

I worked on a mischievous cat sitting on a pumpkin for Halloween. This was my old design at CafePress. I redrew the cat's feet leaning on the pumpkin, and applied Crystallize Tool and Wrinkle Tool with Illustrator on “Trick or Treat” to make it look a little bit zigzagged.

I think that many people associate a full moon to Halloween, but I personally like a crescent as the background better. So I created two versions with a full moon and crescent on the background.

“Never Forget September 11” with the Peace Symbol

I uploaded “NeverForget September 11” with the Peace Symbol in the last week.

Yesterday, I sold two stickers of “10th Anniversary for September 11,” so I decided to add more related designs. 

I have a design with a big yellow ribbon with “Never Forget” and “9-11” in stars and stripes. I made the yellow ribbon smaller and placed a rose on the top of the yellow ribbon, and turned it into a new design.

First Christmas Product at Zazzle

I created a patriotic “USA” design for Christmas.

I used the graphic elements that I made for the 4^th of July and some other projects.

I added “Wind” to “USA” to make it look like icicles with Photoshop, and added “Molecular” from “Texture” in the Layer Effects to make it look like crystal. I placed a Santa hat on “S” in “USA,” three snowflakes on the right side of the canvas, and turned them into red, white, and blue.

Ninja T-Shirts

I have some drafts for “Ninja” that I created in May, and past Ninja products at CafePress. They are a Ninja jumping into burning fire, swords with blood splatter, Ninjas in a duel, and so on. Sometimes, I get a hint from unsold designs from the past. I worked on the fire. To set a fire on the letters is challenging. I adjusted the direction and length of the flame carefully, and combined the fire, Kanji, and Yin Yang symbol together to make a cool Ninja.
