2 shiny stickers

i have just finished uploading 2 very simple vectors on shiny stickers :)

Istock Experience

www.istockphoto.com or Istock or IS

This is the hardest microstock site for me to gain entry. Even after gaining entry, the acceptance rate for my vectors are still very low.

So far, only my drawings of cute cartoon character in various uniforms and a dragon got accepted. I only sold 1 vector, the dragon :(
my icons , animals, backgrounds always get rejected.

I'll tell you guys more when i figure out what works for istock

Background and Web Buttons

I finished 4 background and 1 web button over the weekend. Spent the whole evening today keywording and uploading my vectors. What a tiring task.

One of the best vector illustrator in shutterstock :)

for those of you who has been visiting the illustrator forum in shutterstock, you'll probably know who akaiser or anja is.
She has 13 vectors in the shutterstock top 50. Very very impressive feat :)

Hello World

Hi Everyone,
I created this blog to document my journey as a new vector illustrator. I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4 to create my vectors.
I sell them online at microstock sites Shutterstock, Istock, Dreamstime, RF123, Bigstockphoto, Stockxpert, Crestock and Canstockphoto.
I taught myself how to draw vectors with the help of many online tutorials. I will post the link to those websites when i have the time :)
That's all for my first post :)
