I'm Betsy Morrow also known as AuntBetsy on Zazzle.com.  I have been working with computer graphics of some kind since I bought my first computer, a Commodore 64, in 1985. When it comes to computer graphics, I am mostly self taught. I had some art training in high school, but that was in the early 1970’s and computer graphics didn’t really exist yet. From the very beginning I was captivated with the idea of computer graphics. I purchased several programs for my Commodore that allowed me to make greeting cards and banners. As computers advanced I also advanced in hardware and software. I now use a variety of different software programs to produce my graphics. My main work horse for producing my designs is CorelDraw X3 graphics suite. I use CorelDraw for Vector graphics and design layout. I use Corel Photo Paint to produce 3D looking metallic designs. One of my favorite programs is ArtRage3 Studio Pro.  With the use of a Wacom drawing tablet, ArtRage can feel very much like using real paints, pencils, and other art mediums. I have many other programs that I use on occasion like Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9, but not as often as CorelDraw and ArtRage.  I often combine the different software programs to give results of rich dimensions. I will create a vector graphic in CorelDraw and then export it as a .png graphic and edit it in ArtRage. My Christmas Photo Card displayed below is an example of combining the two programs. You might wonder why I call my artwork “Aunt Betsy’s Art”. Well the first “graphic” project I did on my Commodore 64 was a birthday banner that I made for my oldest nephew. I didn’t have any software at the time so I made it using print statements with letters to create large vertical letters.  He now has children older than he was when I made him the banner.  I got into selling my graphics because of a trip to California with my youngest niece. While we were there I looked up a friend that I had made online with an email group for the software program called Print Artist. I showed my friend some of the things that I was doing with the program and she said I needed to make up a CD of my artwork to sell at a Computer Crafters convention I was planning to attend.  My association with Zazzle came about when my youngest niece entered The US Naval Academy and a parent’s group wanted t-shirts for parent’s weekend and I helped out with the graphics and found Zazzle to print them.  From the very beginning my nephews and nieces have been a driving force in developing my graphic abilities and to honor that I called my main store on Zazzle, AuntBetsy. I have another store on Zazzle that is called Flag_Maker.  It's a play on my name of being Betsy like in Betsy Ross the USA first Flag Maker.  This store is mostly Vintage graphics and fine art paintings that I have purchased. Now I am sure you are wondering what Zazzle is, Zazzle.com is a “Print on Demand” site where you can get individual one of a kind customized printed products. Zazzle has a variety of products like t-shirts, mugs, postcards, posters, magnets, stickers, and customized US Postage stamps and much more.
