REDWOOD CITY, CA–(Marketwire – August 13, 2010) – Zazzle, the world’s leading platform for quality custom products, is seeing a current jump in products created to match what’s on the nation’s collective pop culture mind, with Basil Marceaux, Antoine Dodson and Steven Slater emerging as the three most recent examples and together fueling the creation of thousands of new custom products at www.Zazzle.com. The three men who have individually captured the nation’s attention over the past week are truly memorable: one a uniquely passionate candidate for Tennessee Governor, another a concerned citizen and family man, and the third hailed by many as “the working man’s hero.”

Zazzle’s on-demand product creation platform allows anyone, from major brands including Disney and Warner Bros. to passionately creative individuals, to create and sell a vast array of merchandise, all at no cost and no risk. Products created or inspired by Marceaux, Dodson, and Slater began appearing as soon as each began their unique rise to notoriety. Shirts, mugs, and other products typically include instantly iconic visuals and a catchphrase or humor to appeal to potential buyers. In the Antoine Dodson store, the “We gon find you” t-shirts, mugs, keychains and aprons are some of the most popular products. In fact, Zazzle is home to the official merchandise stores for both Antoine Dodson and Basil Marceaux.

In addition to instantly publishing thoughts, comments, causes and designs via other social media websites, we’ve found that people are looking for ways to interact and express themselves on physical mediums like t-shirts, mugs, skateboards, and even real U.S. postage. Antoine Dodson’s face on your mail… who would have imagined?”
