Artful Animalz launches Charles Antlas™ Collection gift line exclusively on Zazzle

Oct. 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Artful Animalz, a popular animal and pet-themed design gallery, and official online licensee of the WagsToWishes® brand, today announced the launch of its newest product line, Charles Antlas™, available exclusively on Zazzle (www.Zazzle.com), the only on-demand retail platform to offer billions of products that ship in 24 hours.

Offered in three initial variations -- classic pose, tri-pose, and "Think Big" baloney sandwich lift -- this clever, humorous and fun, arthropodal-inspired Charles Antlas™ design collection is available for purchase on stamps, t-shirts, keychains, hats, bags, aprons, magnets, mugs, mousepads and more at: http://www.zazzle.com/artful_animalz/gifts?cg=196018495390230131

Artful Animalz co-founder and lead designer, Mark Hedberg, stumbled on the idea for this inspirational and motivational line in a serendipitous moment while lifting weights in his garage when he happened to notice an old Uncle Miltion's Ant Farm® sticking up from a box of junk about to get thrown out.  "I had always been fascinated with ants, as a kid, especially the fact that they're capable of hoisting 10-50x their body weight. So I started thinking about what an ant would be like who is "super strong" -- like the strongest ant in the world. And that's when the idea for the Charles Antlas™ character design hit me, " said the parody-loving Hedberg, who has since resurrected the Ant Farm®, now proudly displayed in his office, with a very active colony.
