New Kayak Christmas Tree Aurora Borealis

All cards at katzdzynes now 50% off thru 10/6!

Use code ZAZZPAPERFUN at checkout (included in links below)
Offer good through 10/6/2016 11:59 pm PT

New for the 2016 Christmas season! The Kayak Christmas Tree from katzdzynes has been propped in a snowbank in yet another scenic location, this time with a glorious luminescent green and purple Aurora Borealis display in the background!



Green, red and yellow kayaks standing on end in the snow and leaning against each other along with 3 kayak paddles provide the perfect impromptu Christmas tree, simply decorated with paper snowflakes and a few long gold and white ribbons and a pretty yellow star. I have taken some creative liberties by including a silhouetted flock of geese in the distance, flying seemingly toward the Northern Lights; though Canada geese generally fly south for the winter, it is not uncommon to see them during the winter months in the northern United States, especially if lakes and rivers have not frozen. An eagle can be seen flying overhead, and through a light snowfall can be seen distant tall evergreens with a bit of snow accumulated on their boughs. The front and inside messages on the card are customizable.

To see all three Kayak Christmas Tree design variations, click "THE Kayak Christmas Tree" in the navigation bar above, or click here.

This new collection features a variety of design styles on device cases and other volleyball themed gifts--katzdzynes' popular "Girly Volleyball" composite with graphic of a silhouetted female volleyball player jumping at the net has been given a patriotic color change for the summer of 2016, plus the red and blue panels on the volleyball have an abstract texture look effect for a very chic vibe. Or, you may prefer a more simple but still sporty volleyball design featuring three red, white and blue volleyballs aligned randomly on two stripes in red and blue.

Don't scorn the corn

It's no secret . . . I LOVE candy corn, probably a bit too much--it's still August, and my first bag of "Harvest Mix" has already disappeared--so I have to limit myself to one bag per shopping trip. (HA! Didn't say how often my shopping trips are!)

So, I was perusing Pinterest on my iPod the other day, saw my first candy corn pin and thought, "Ooh, I must make a new candy corn pattern for products in my shop!" My newest product collection began as a simple sketch of a classic candy corn piece in yellow, orange and white on my iPod using Autodesk Sketchbook that progressed to a fun geometric pattern that I then put into motion using PicturesToExe:

http://katzdzynes.tumblr.com/post/149428165648/its-only-august-but-candycorn-is-back


The candy corn themed products in my shop do not feature the fun dancing and twirling candy pieces seen in the video but instead a more random pattern of candy corn, as if pieces of candy corn have been tossed about randomly, landing in tiny little piles of sweet Halloween candy goodness. Shown below are a reusable trick-or-treat bag with customizable name and a funny coffee mug for candy corn lovers with the text "Don't scorn the corn."

Watermarks on Zazzle product images

If you spend any amount of time on social media (Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, G+, etc), you've likely seen these funny looking product images with the name "Zazzle" stretched in a pattern across the image:
women's tennis iPhone 6 plus case

The "Zazzle" pattern is actually an image watermark, employed by many Zazzle artists and designers to help prevent image theft (see my blog post "Stop Art Theft by Amazon Thieves" to learn more about this ongoing rampant copyright infringement).

The watermark is pretty unsightly, huh? Well, rest assured that the custom product you order from the katzdzynes Zazzle shop will NOT have that crazy watermark printed on it--your final product will be Zazzle quality and watermark free! No worries!

Stop art theft by Amazon thieves

If you’ve viewed my About page, you’ve seen my warning to avoid counterfeit products by purchasing katzdzynes’ print-on-demand products ONLY from Zazzle.com or Society6. Why the word of caution? Unscrupulous Amazon “vendors” stealing artwork from original artists at Zazzle and then selling this stolen artwork on various products at Amazon has become a widespread problem for Zazzle artists. I have been affected by this, too—my Kayak Christmas Tree design was lifted by an Amazon thief who was trying to sell it on ornaments.

In support of fellow Zazzle artists who also have been affected by this ongoing rampant copyright infringement by amazon thieves and to help stop art theft, I am reposting the following letter, copied with permission from Zazzle artist Carolyn Muir, addressed to Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com:

Dear Mr Bezos

I would very much appreciate a response to my concerns. If you do not care to address me personally, then perhaps you might find the decency to explain yourself to the First Minister of Scotland whom has been copied on this comminication, along with my own parliamentary representative.

Do you and your shareholders really have no conscience nor compassion for those IP owners who are ripped off on a daily basis by third party sellers on your websites? Do you take no responsibility for the ongoing and indeed increasing problem of copyright infringement on Amazon websites, primarily by Chinese thieves?

My income has dropped by approximately 50% over the last year, which strangely coincides with the exponential increase in infringements of my work on Amazon domains. It has become an almost full-time occupation finding and reporting infringements on Amazon alone.

I repeatedly have to submit reports for the same infringing works; it's a game of whack-a-mole essentially. Firstly, the Seller Performance Teams are incredibly obtuse, making a variety of claims as to why the report is not being immediatly complied with. Very rarely do these claims have any basis whatsever, they are merely stalling tactics. When it finally has been accepted that an infringement has occurred and the Seller Performance Teams agree to comply with a request, it is then hit-and-miss whether or not the infringing listings are actually removed from your website.

In adition to requiring the image to be removed from the product page or having the product listing ceased, I always stipulate that I require my copyright images to be removed from Amazon's servers. In most instances this is met by flat-out refusal by the Seller Performance Teams.

Albeit I am not a lawyer Mr Bezos, nor indeed an IT specialist, however it would be my understanding that my images on your servers would constitute providing public access to infringing content - for example via Amazon affiliate listings on 3rd party websites which still hotlink to my copyright image on your servers. My limited understanding therefore is that this would be a direct violation of the terms of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and that therefore your privilege of Safe Harbor would be waived.

I am sure that you enjoy your millions (or billions) of dollars from Amazon Mr Bezos, however with my income having dropped to £X/month I most certainly do not enjoy much of anything.

If indeed you bother to read this email, then I thank you very much for your time Mr Bezos. I will be more grateful however if you respond.

Yours sincerely,
Carolyn Muir

Please help stop this rampant #copyrightinfringement by #amazonthieves and help #stoparttheft by sharing this post.

Thank you,
katzdzynes

Dandelions - pretty yellow flowers or weeds

Like them or not, soon these cheerful little yellow flowers will be popping up in impeccably manicured, weed-free lawns in the suburbs and completely blanketing rural meadows or fields in a lush carpet of gold. I spotted my first dandelion flower the other day and, inspired, I made a tiny little drawing of a bunch of dandelions using AutodeskSketchbook on my iPod.
dandelion sketch drawing

The new collection of dandelion-themed products from katzdzynes is based on this little dandelion sketch. One of the designs is a string-of-dandelions pattern, and the other is a simple bunch of 4 dandelions, either centered on custom wall art or patterned for fabric. Here is a sampling of products from this collection:


Shown are customizable neoprene wine tote, custom fabric, ZIPZ slip-on shoes and rustic wood wall art.
