Rock and Roll Owl in a Jumpsuit

Travel back with me now, back through the mists of time to December 2015, and my first creations on Zazzle. Unfortunately, my early enthusiasm was met with a slapped wrist, as my owl design (above) was pulled for trading on the name of a certain celebrity. I thought I'd changed things enough to be safe; the celebrity was, after all, human and not an owl.

The original design also included a pun on a famous song title, and search terms referring to the celebrity in question. Rather than guess where the exact infringement was, I replaced all references to specific rock and roll stars with generic terms, and hopefully I'm now legit. New designers beware!

Cute Nationalism!

Eagles, bulldogs, lions and dragons move aside. Perhaps it's the EU referendum debate here in the UK, but I'm particularly fed up of macho nationalist posturing, so it's time to deflate that puffed up nonsense with some friendly mascots.

Coincidentally and as mentioned in my last post, I have some friends out in the USA, in Washington DC no less, and I've been hearing about the local wildlife; so here's my tribute to the resplendent red cardinal and the humble groundhog - all American garden visitors.
