Out of the Void Posters
Out of the Void Poster by Bebops





I am constantly astonished and entranced by the myriad forms of life on this planet. To quote one of my very favorite authors, Annie Dillard, in
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, "the creator has pizzazz".

I hope to display a variety of animal images on this blog to delight us all. I have created many products featuring wildlife and pets for my Zazzle stores, Bebop's Place and Bebop's Weddings, using my original photographs and designs. I am also constantly amazed at the gorgeous animal products available from the rest of the Zazzle community. I am hoping others will enjoy this blog and even be moved to purchase some of these lovely items for gifts or just for the pleasure of having such beauty around.

A grumpy looking American Toad (Bufo americanus) is looking out at you from this Earth Day poster. This small amphibian is brown with black, gold olive green and orange coloration. His warts distinguish him from his frog neighbors. Although hatched in the water of ponds, rivers, lakes or streams, the tadpoles soon move to land where the toads live their adult lives. His startling call is a long screech. He looks quite fierce but is actually a gentle little guy who eat lots of garden pests including insects and slugs. The text reads: Think Green ! It can be customized or removed.



This lovely artistic decorative plate features one of the world's most beautiful birds, the Northern Cardinal. Here he is with his brilliant red plumage perched on a branch of a flowering apple tree. The pink and white flowers are the perfect background to set off the scarlet feathers of this gorgeous bird! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ENTIRE WILD BIRD PLATE COLLECTION



This ornament has a blue and green dragonfly and floral design with red and yellow highlights.



Sweetness and Elegance Each Day - Lady in Flowers is a lovable portrait of a brown and white cocker spaniel puppy dog surrounded in a meadow of delicate flowers. Lady in Flowers sits comfortably along the side of a hill filled with lavender, cranberry reds, creamy whites, muted purples, subtle greens and mixtures of pinks. She loves sitting in nature surrounded by beautiful flowers of crimson reds, pretty pink poppies, lavender heather and white dogwood, both on the ground and falling from the heavens. A fanciful bouquet of blossoms circles this Brittany Spaniel with her deep brown eyes, long silky brown ears, sparkling white fur on her chest and some lovely sprinkles of chocolate freckles on her nose. A red heart is dangling from her collar. You may experience peace, serenity and healing as you look at this wonderful mousepad.

True friendship comes in all sizes and colors as evidenced by the sweet relationship between this large black wolfhound and his best friend a small white Maltipoo. These wonderful dogs spend every moment together as part of our household. Noodles, the Maltese and poodle mix thinks that she is the alpha of the pack but Hamish, the wolfhound, doesn't always agree with that. The make quite a charming pair in this computer illustration.

The two upper wings have a black band at the tips. Her face is a pale green. She is a lovely, delicate creature. A smaller image is on the back along with your personal information. All text can be customized.



A big old Wolf spider at rest on a patio chair arm is joined by a Blue Darner dragonfly, 2 mosquitos and a Leaf footed bug for fun. Kids will love these creepy critters.



The design is from the original collage of hand-torn newspapers made by me, Keiko Suzuki. Because of the collage making technique the design blends in the natural look of the organic t-shirt. Shown is an organic t-shirt but other types of t-shirts and variety of sizes are also available by self customizing.
