Why Should Cowboys Have all the Fun?
Brace yerselves… This is gonna be short!

Bad Cowgirl c2013 TxCowboyDancer Designs
I can do short. I prefer long though…
Those folks in the back row spitting soda all over themselves can just keep their snarky remarks in the peanut gallery where they belong!
Thhhhhhhhppppptttttttt! So there!
As I was writing my last blog post (not counting the mea culpa…) Sorry about that folks. I didn’t really mean to spam everyone’s inboxes. I promise!
Anyway… It occurred to me cowGIRLS probably are bad sometimes too. And who am I to discriminate? Hmmmm???
So… I fired up my graphics program and created a GIRL version of the “I’ve been a bad Cowboy…” Design. Woot!
My favorite TWO products with the new design…
I’m not going to spam your inbox with lots of products. If it looked good with the “Bad Cowboy” then it looks good with the “Bad Cowgirl” design.
Having said that here are my two favorite just for the girls. 🙂

Denim fabric; other styles of wallets and bags also available
Announcing the start of a regular series here on my blog…
A new series…
…where I announce the new designs appearing in my Zazzle Store.
Each time a post comes out it will have:
- A large image of the new design (like the one to the right)
- A bit of background on how the design came about (just below)
- A few of my favorite products with the new design (just below that)
I’ll make these announcements when the first batch of products are ready for viewing. Much later, months later, if I add a second batch of products using the same design, then I’ll make a second announcement for the same design.
Right now on my store I’m trying to get a LOT of new designs up fast because I need sales.
My 401k, which I’ve been living on since I lost my job last year is about to run out of money. I have until Feb 1st, the date of the last 401k check to replace that income with something else.
Selling products on Zazzle is one of a dozen different things I’m trying. So if you see something you like, then I really appreciate you buying the product. If you don’t have the cash I would appreciate it if you hit those share and like buttons. The more word gets spread about my store and the products there the more likely that someone will buy something.
Background on my latest design:
“American Grunge Flag“
The whole “grunge” thing seems to be a theme in T-shirt design right now. It is the modern version of what Andy Warhol was doing with his “Pop Art” back in the day.
Some grunge art that I’ve seen is pretty good and a lot of it is just commercial wanna-be’s who are out to make a quick buck off of a trend.
I really like this design. When I saw it after paging through literally hundreds of boring, mundane mind-numbing run-of-the-mill BLAH-ness on a graphics website.. (Is “blah-ness” a word? If it isn’t it should be)
But I digress. I do that you know… So I’m looking through all these truly Snooze worthy images and I hit the “next” button and went
“Wow!”
Literally. Aloud. And then I went
YES! when I saw that the design was listed as CC 3.0. (more about that later after the “more” button)
This design to me has a “rebel” feel while still being patriotic. With the running drips of paint it is almost as if it is graffiti. Think 1960’s and civil protest and civic involvement and well, it just rocks as a design on top of all that! Woot!
My favorite products with the new design…
In complete honesty, when working on a new “design” for my Zazzle Store, I stick a new graphic on a lot of stuff and sometimes it looks, well, “ok,” in my humble opinion, (I delete the truly awful stuff) but let’s face it, the “just ok” stuff ain’t rockin’ my world.
But sometimes.. Wow! it is awesome the design just “fits” the product and the result is kinda cool. Those are the ones that I’m sharing here:
However… I also realize that there are a lot of different tastes out there on the Interwebz and one person’s “rockin it” is another person’s “ho hum.”
So, these are the ones I like… but hey you may like some of the other stuff so click on one of the multitude of links in this article. Didja catch that tongue in cheek humor? I said “click on a link and conveniently provided the aforementioned link. Ooopps! I did it again. *grin* I crack myself up sometimes.
Ok, folks here is where the typical post in this series will end. See, not too bad and the “typical post” will be even shorter because the format is now established. Woot! For those who want to read more on the whole Zazzle thing and copyright and other “behind the curtain” stuff, then clicky-clicky the More button.
