Arwen de Lyon :
Jump on the zazzle forms, and don't just read them, be an active participant. Join other sites to network that are related to what your shop is about, and be an active participant. Tell everyone about your zazzle shop, as you never know who will stop by. Always be ready to learn something new, and try new things. Rico:
What do you like to do when you are not creating art?
Arwen de Lyon :
I like to do other things to fuel my creativity. Read books about things I love: stories, astronomy, angels, you name it. If I have painted it, you can bet I have studied and read about the subject first. I also like to watch interesting shows about science and hands-on shows, or even funny sitcoms that I find especially creative or offbeat. Going on trips to new places whether right in town or a good distance away also fuels my creativity, as does watching movies. I also enjoy making challenging origami with beautiful origami paper in fantastic designs. Rico:

The Zodiac Calendars
This calendar is a compilation of all my zodiac paintings, presented beautifully in this calendar which has a celestial feel, and includes symbols for each zodiac sign and celestial body of modern astrology.
Unicorn, Universe Personalized Necklace
This Unicorn painting is set off well by the circular shape of the necklace. The unicorn represents pure understanding and awareness, as she gallops across the universe.
Fantastic City Posters
One of my favorite watercolor paintings, based on a finished fantasy sketch I did a few years back. The globe in the sky is an otherworldly etherial city, and surrounding it are numerous beautiful celestial bodies.
Rico:
This is one of my personal favorite designs from your shop
Alternate World 1 Poster
A digital abstraction of Phsychedelic City, I used the kaleidoscope effect to give this swirling, otherworldly feel. The brilliant, psychedelic colors and swirls heighten this effect.
