Computer Art/Zanny Rants Now On Zazzle
I created this little character named Zanny, a snarky, rather outspoken baby boomer, on my computer and have a blog with the name Zanny Rants. Originally, I did the cartoons just to post on the blog, however…today I opened up a Zanny Rants store at Zazzle and I’m so excited. Haven’t yet got very many images uploaded ~ wish I could clone the worker bee in me ~ but I’ve been up all night figuring this out. It takes time to upload stuff when your computer is a dinosaur. I’ll be adding t-shirts, greeting cards, mugs, mousepads and magnets, just to name a few of the products available.
Zazzle is pretty amazing. I hope you’ll checkout my store at http://www.zazzle.com/zannyrants* Here are a few samples of Zanny speaking her mind. Please let me know what you think of her!

Graphite Pencil Sketch: Irish Setter
Here’s a quick graphite pencil sketch of my neighbor’s Irish Setter, Blue. He’s terrific, very friendly, always waggin’ that big tail. He was staring at me for attention when I snapped a photo of hem, and when I saw the photo I laughed right out loud. Blue has one of those “sunbleached” looking noses, you know, kinda whitish/pinkish instead of brown. It looked like an enormous Rudolf nose, to be sure. This sketch is an attempt to capture that nose, which is, afterall, one of the breed’s finest features!

I’m baaaack with more art
I feel bad. I’ve been ignoring this art website to spend time developing yet another website, http://www.graphitegoddess.com, where I post my graphite pencil drawings. Well, it’s now time, finally, to pay attention to this endeavor as well.
I’ll be posting lots of art regularly now which will be available as beautiful giclee prints on paper or canvas at http://www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/suzanne-schaefer/html and other art available on everything from t-shirts to coffee mugs, greeting cards or notecards, magnets and mouse pads, and maybe even calendars at http://www.zazzle.com/zannie947.
I did a graphite pencil drawing of a lounging polar bear awhile back and I recently made it into a t-shirt design over at Zazzle. (It’s an amazing website filled with gabillions of creative, original art goodies well worth checking out.) As eager as I am to post that image, for today, I cannot. My wordpress blog is having a problem uploading images for some reason, but I’m hoping that will be resolved in the next few hours! Bear with me, please. (No pun intended…lol.)
Welcome to a website honoring creativity!
Keebler Alf
My name is Suzanne Schaefer and I’ve literally been painting, drawing, sculpting, and discovering new ways to create my entire life. I live in the glorious Pacific Northwest, an empty-nester sharing my home with my long-time companion, my dog, 15 year old Keebler Alf. Remember that 80’s TV show, ALF? Well…doesn’t he look like him? That is a painting I did of him a few years ago, but he still looks the same. Cute, cute, too cute dog!
Although I’m really brand new at this blogging business, it’s time to not only share some of my creations/artwork but to communicate with others who are equally passionate about creating “stuff”, be it jewelry, paintings, drawings, sewn items, whatever. And…….creating the life you really want. We all have that power. We are, afterall, creating a life with every thought we think, whether we’re aware of it or not. So this blog is all about creating, creating, creating. Creating beautiful, magical, wonderous stuff, and a life that we truly love. I’ll be sharing some true stories, random thoughts and some observations along the way and hope you’ll join the conversation.
As I learn what I’m doing here, the look of this website will probably change frequently, at least at first. But…I’m excited and looking forward to the entire experience!
