The Village Politicians Mouse Pad
The Village Politicians by John L. Krimmel. Krimmel's The Village Politicians, which shows a group of men gathered around a table in a tavern, arguing about politics, is a copy of a painting of the same name by David Wilkie, the most admired British painter of Krimmel's generation. In 1809, the German-born artist immigrated to the United States, where he became the young nation's first noted painter of subjects from everyday life. Krimmel was true to Wilkie's overall composition but made small changes that distinguish his painting as American. The artist replaced the metal tankard at the foot of the table in Wilkie's image with a Philadelphia earthenware pitcher, and, in the centre of the composition, substituted the Washington, D.C. newspaper The National Intelligencer for Edinburgh, Scotland's Gazeteer. Krimmel drowned in a friend's pond just two years after completing this painting, leaving behind a scant twenty-four known works.

First time ordering with Zazzle so did not know what to expect but it was delivered promptly and has a lovely feel. Wanted a new mouse mat & only ones available were $2 cheap & nasty.
Use it with the Peacock Eyes at the top and it looks and feel great. Very happy with printing colours excellent.

The experience buying from Zazzle was great -- the custom made product arrived much faster than I expected (I am in Australia) and they kept me updated with progress emails.
The product itself is good quality and I like the simplistic elegant design. The only criticism I have is that it's not really accurately represented by the picture provided. I thought that the mousepad would be a non-porous or laminate surface and as such the gold writing would actually shine against the soft pink. However the design is printed on a thick fabric surface, so the gold colour is just the shade of gold but doesn't stand out from the pink background. (See picture)
FYI the soft pink is stronger in real life than in my personal picture. Good quality printing, slightly different look to what I expected. It also smells quite strong on arrival but it's only been a day so this may fade.
