Society6 have started selling leggings. I have added a few designs. Most of my designs do not have leggings made because it is such a big job, but I am happy to add leggings as an option on any of my designs if you contact me.

Society6 say: Our proprietary six-panel cut and sew construction provides an unprecedented quality in fit and versatility with an adjustable waist line for wearing high, low or somewhere in between. Using the highest quality anti-microbial polyester spandex material, these premium leggings wick moisture and remain breathable, making them perfect for running or runways.

Two Penguins holding hands. I have used pastel colours (green and blue ) to imply that they are both male. They are holding hands and looking into each others eyes. A gay pride design. The penguins are based on the New Zealand native bird, The Yellow Eyed Penguin, also known by the Maori name, HOIHO. A good design for a gay wedding. Leggings

A cartoon, vector chicken lifting weights. This cool chicken is lifting barbells, with one wing, while balanced on a speckled egg. Leggings

Maori Kowhaiwhai Pattern. Traditional Red, Black and White pattern. Designed in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Leggings

This design is for those loving Mums who support their rebellious children. A sewing machine crafting a Anarchy banner. This was inspired by a friends mum who knitted him a slayer jersey when we were kids.

Maori Kowhaiwhai Pattern. Traditional Red, Black and White pattern. Designed in Aotearoa / New Zealand. Leggings

I made these pink spots with Decor in mind but they look cool on all the products. Layers of transparent pink spots. Leggings

Blue Rays Of Light. Beams of various shades of blue light in a radial pattern. A modern pattern. Leggings

Cherry Blossom flowers floating in the air like butterflies. A tribute to a child who came with the Cherry Blossoms. Leggings

Marbles pattern. This repeating pattern of marbles is drawn in vector. The marbles are arranged in a zigzag pattern. Leggings

Glitter, a elegant pattern of purple sparkly tiles. The tiling gives a cool folded look. Leggings

A motivational quote from Socrates written on a black wall. A cute, black ninja, with red hair peaking out from under her hood is leaping over the wall. Leggings

Colourful Tiled Mosaic Pattern inspired by a brick footpath. Interlocked rectangles in a variety of colours. Leggings

Two Penguins holding hands. I have used pink to imply that they are both female. They are holding hands and looking into each others eyes. A gay pride design. The penguins are based on the New Zealand native bird, The Yellow Eyed Penguin, also known by the Maori name, HOIHO. A good design for a gay wedding. Leggings

Marbles on a wooded floor pattern. This repeating pattern of marbles is drawn in vector. The marbles are arranged in a zigzag pattern. The background is a vector images of wood, laminate floor boards. Leggings

Pastel colored penguins (pink and blue) holding hands. I based these birds on Hoiho, the Yellow Eyed Penguin, which is native to New Zealand.

A layered collage of piano keys. This music inspired, piano key pattern has the keys marked out with their respective notes. This was inspired by my daughters keyboard, which is marked in this way to help her learn the notes. The keys are coloured in progressive shades of grey. This gives the keyboard a zig-zag appearance when viewed from a distance. Leggings

I am pleased, very pleased, to announce that I have just published my ebook at amazon. PONY ALPHABET. Illustrated and written by Danny Hutchinson (Me).

This all started as fun pony pictures for my two year old daughter. She is now nearly eight, time files. This book is $3.99. I hope the pony lovers out there love it!

Pony Alphabet book cover image

Pony Alphabet book page example

Pony Alphabet is a fun way for children to learn their ABC's.

A cute, brown, cartoon pony contorts his agile body into the shapes of the letters. As he does this he challenges the readers, "Can you do it too?".
This is a lot of fun. The children study the letter shapes and then try to do it themselves.

The book has a rhyming text, which follows a rhythmic pattern to make it easy for children to follow.

The pages are bright and colorful. Each alphabet page features a letter, a funny flexible pony and a picture of something that begins with that letter.

This book uses important key words, and simple sentence structures to help children learn.

I am a Junior School teacher, and a parent. This book is designed with my years of educational experience behind it. It is all about making learning fun.

Zazzle Associate Program

5/15/2015

2 Comments

This post is to explain how you can become a Zazzle associate and monetize your website, blog and social media.

I am an artist and affiliate on Zazzle. Selling art is very satisfying. Great art and content are important. Equally important is getting noticed.

I promote my art, here on this website and on various social media. About 1/3 of my sales are made from various affiliates promoting my art. The affiliate gets a 15% share of the sale price and I get paid too. Its a win, win. That affiliate could be you.

What is Zazzle?

Zazzle is a huge website, artists can upload their art onto 100's of products. They offer fabulous customer service "We promise 100% satisfaction. If you don't absolutely love it, we'll take it back". They also have some big brands on board such as Disney, US Military, Grumpy cat and ME!

Zazzle is an international site, it does not matter where you live, you will be welcome.

How Do you make money?

Once you join the Associate program (yes you will be approved) you can make affiliate links to any product or any location on the public Zazzle site.

Members of the Zazzle associate program can post links to products anywhere. Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Wordpress, Blogger, Ello etc.

There are sites out there who are Zazzle associates themselves (eg Wanelo and I think Weheartit), such sites will strip out your code and add their own. Give such sites a miss.

How much do I make?

Zazzle Associate Program offers 15% per sale + volume bonus

What does it cost?

Its FREE!

What tools are available?

Zazzle offer lots of link building tools and banners.

Where do I sign up?

Here ZAZZLE

How can I be successful?

There is no one formula. Some folk affiliate on a massive scale, others just occasionally. It is up to you.

Here are some tips
- Use good key words, these have often already been written for you by the artist.
- Create your own blog or website
- Promote the best sellers
- Promote a niche
- Get loads of tips and support in the Zazzleforum

An example

Lets say you have blog about weddings

One post might be about gay weddings, why not use Zazzle images like these

If someone clicks on one of these images, with your associate ID, then buys anything from the entire Zazzle store you will get 15%. This works via cookies, there are various scenarios where the cookie does not stick. You can read more about this here ZAZZLE.

Please consider joining, more promotion = more sales and more sales sounds great to me.

You can find my Zazzle stores here, I would appreciate any promotion.

New Flag For New Zealand

5/3/2015

0 Comments

New Zealand is about to spend 27.5 million dollars on two referendums because the Union Jack is so 1990’s.

A group of “respected New Zealanders” will sit on a Flag Consideration Panel. These poor sods only get paid $650 per day, better not quote me on that I am too lazy to look it up.

Anyway I just knocked this design up, it is a clear winner. I just saved our rock star economy 27 odd million. No more two minute noodles for us.

referendum, referendums, flag, kiwi, kiwi fruit, bones, cross bones, fruit with bones, funny fruit, kiwi fruit with bones, southern cross, constellation, matariki, stars, red stars, night sky, politics, political satire, funny flag, new zealand, new new zealand flag, new zealand flag referendum, kiwifruit

In a few Months time Kiwi's can have a vote on the flag. It might be possible that mine won't be among those up for vote. The most likely reason for this is I won't have entered it (and that it is silly). I don't mind the flag changing but 27 Million dollars for a politicians vanity project is madness. I could by 54 million 50cent mixtures with that, or give it to Nepal.

But chilax you can still buy my design here
