Take A Word Challenge #10 - Zetti

I had the privilege of being selected by the talented women of the Take A Word blog to be the one to create a sample piece of art for this week's word "Zetti." Plus, it's the first word for a whole new year! If you followed my former blog at the Artella Cafe, you already know I love zetti art. Probably because it goes very well with my crazy personality. Alright. I know. Quit typing already and show you the art!


This zetti picture may be a little unusual compared to what you are use to seeing. You probably imagine zetti as something with stripes, dunce caps and buggy-eyed people. You are right! I created this digital collage, though, using digital scans of zetti rubber stamps designed by Teesha and Tracy Moore. (Wait a minute. I do have stripes and a dunce cap in the picture.) I have about 30 of their rubber stamps. I love anything zetti! Woops. I think I already said that. Thanks for stopping in to take a look.

Great Bill. Such a change seeing it in black and white but it works well. Love the pretty colours in the background. You're the Zetti King!

It's fitting you've used some of Tracy and Teesha's "stuff", Bill. I think they originated zetti style, and we've all had such fun with it! Nice work here. They'd be proud!

What a great Zetti sample!

Bill, I think your Zetti is superb. I would call it "Zetti with Menace" as there is a lot going on in the picture. Methinks the two main characters don't like each other very much. Perhaps the girl is waiting to stomp on him for the cockroach he is! I can identify.

Hey, you don't have to wait for a Zetti challenge to express your art in Zetti style. More please!

Thanks again for providing this week's sample.

Cheers, Marie.

Bill, this is sooo cool!! I am finding it very hard to understand just what 'Zetti' is... but will work on it and send in a late entry.
Fabulous work and words, as usual... Happy New Year to you and yours!

Your interpretation of zetti is great: I love the way you have combined all those stamp images, and the black-and-white characters look great against the neon-coloured background. Fantatstic sample image, Bill!

This is such a brilliant pice, Bill! Love the zetti nature and the contrast of the colour with the B&W.
