I'm not sure if anything you build in your zazzle shop is going to de-value your work. As far as I can tell, anything you put your imagery on can only serve to expose you to more and more people. I struggled with the same sort of thing...mainly because I wanted to maintain a certain audience (most of my stuff is geared toward kids and the parents of young children) and it seemed like creating mugs, mousepads and the like was just watering that down. But really, in the end any item you can put your imagery on gets the art out there to the people...makes it more visible, so I personally think every little bit helps. I really love what you're doing here...keep up the great work. I know this is an older post, but oh well. I’m not sure if anything you build in your zazzle shop is going to de-value your work.
