<title>Turning a hobby into a business</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/blog/0928kids.jpg" alt="Collage" />Our little family run business, Animooz has really kept us busy this past year. We have been developing the personality of each character while illustrating them by hand and digitizing each down to the last detail. Trademarking and licensing opportunities have been undergone. Animooz has been testing garment manufacturers, trying different color combinations and has sampled screen-printed pieces checking for quality and washability. Time has been spent writing all the copy for brochures - let alone working with our design and web guys at <a href="http://thegrowthcycle.com/">The Growth Cycle</a> to build this fun site.</p>

<p>We proudly offer our line of 100% made and printed in USA garments that are sweatshop free. Animooz even offers organic cotton shirts in &ldquo;All Natural&rdquo;, a tannish color.</p>

<p>Turning a hobby into a real business has not been easy, but now that it is real and working, it is very worthwhile and satisfying. Animooz delivers a fun, creative, high quality line of infant and toddler &ldquo;wearable art.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Thank you to all of our supporters along the way for making this possible and successful.</p>

<p>Also a little thanks to those that have sent us fun photos of their child modeling our product line.</p>

<p>Please spread the word about Animooz. Sign up for a our news and announcements updating new characters, garment styles and colors that will change with the seasons and the mood of our studio.</p>

<p>Thank you for your support,<br />
Jill and the rest of the Animooz Team</p>

<title>About Animooz</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="/images/blog/0728collage.jpg" alt="Animooz" title="" />A blend of various life&rsquo;s roles have led to the creation of this line of wearable art.</p>

<p>Artist by hobby, social worker by profession, full-time mother of two precious girls by love, and business owner by day.</p>

<p>A number of things inspire artists... for me it is two, Dannah and Shara.</p>

<p>Dannah is credited for the company name --- Animooz. Before she was even one year old she was an animal expert, reciting animal sounds and gestures. As she grew, so did her repertoire of animal sounds that she performed. Her adorable pronunciation of animals as &ldquo;animooz&rdquo; was a pronunciation we chose not to correct. Her child-like love of animals led to many visits to the Central Park, Van Saun and Bronx Zoo and to every pet store she saw. She had a collection of animal books, toys, and videos - it was up to me to create the original, fun, yet fashionable animal clothing. A natural model, others wanted what Dannah wore.</p>

<p>Enters Steven, my entrepreneur husband and fan. He is credited with transforming my original works into superior quality &ldquo;artwear&rdquo; for your child... durable enough for our almost four year old on the move, and comfy enough for infants.</p>

<p>Shara, our infant, is credited for my newest passion; ensuring a line that includes sibling coordinates... characters, colors, and styles for all your youngest family members.</p>

<p>Still to come... Animooz shirts for your four-legged family member, woof-woof!</p>

<p>Enjoy Animooz, our family&rsquo;s creation. A trend-setting combination of comfort, sport, youth, and fashion.</p>
