Mini Bio: I am a native Californian.  My interests are modern and vintage art, design and illustration.

Zazzle: When and how did you first become interested in art? How long have you been making art?

Mike: My mother was an artist and highly creative person. I have been drawing and painting since grade school.

Zazzle: How would you describe your style?

Mike: I am attracted to pop and modern art and iconic vintage illustration.  I really enjoy bright colors and text.

Zazzle: When you’re not creating art, what are your other hobbies?

Mike: My other hobbies are web design and working on my website.

Zazzle: What’s your inspiration for your designs?

Mike: Humor matched with iconic imagery.

Zazzle: What has been your favorite design you’ve created, and why?

Mike: I think my favorite design is the two ladies saying: Let’s go somewhere and judge people.  It’s a popular selling design and gives people a good idea about what Bluntcard is about.

Zazzle: Do you have any fun stories about being a seller on Zazzle?

Mike: I had resisted making calendars for almost a year. I’m still not clear why, but after some encouragement from other sellers I decided to.  They sold really, really well. I now understand what Volume Bonus is.

Zazzle: What is your favorite Zazzle product to create?

Mike: Magnets.  They are simple and fun, and they sell well.  I also love the end result of creating calendars.  Calendars are a lot of work.  They are like creating a little book, but well worth it.

Zazzle: What got you interested in selling your art on Zazzle?

Mike: People wanted stuff, so I need to find a way to get people the stuff they wanted.  I found Zazzle, whose cool factor matched my website’s style. I have no regrets.

Zazzle: What tips can you give someone who is just starting out on Zazzle?

Mike: I make things that I like.  My shop is products from my website Bluntcard.com, so I need to stay consistent to my niche. I think if you find a good niche and often offer new products, you’ll have loyal returning customers.

Thanks Mike!
