Popular 3D Diagrams


My 3d images, especially the charts, have become huge sellers. The Chevron Diagram set has sold 11 times in 15 days! I'm trying to make more but I'm having trouble getting them accepted for some reason. I will keep submitting more variations and see if I can get a few more through the que.

Record Downloads

This month I broke my record for monthly downloads. I sold 433 as of yesterday which breaks the record from September 2008 of 407 downloads.

Open Shapes


My images with the ribbons were not accepted due to open shapes. When I zoom in to maximum, I saw what the problem was. So I will be fixing that today and re-submitting. Just another day of learning something new and getting stronger every day. My diagrams are selling very well and I'm going to focus on 3D for a few more days.

1,148 Images on istockphoto.com

I can't believe I have so many images on istockphoto.com. It has been just a little over a year now and I am on track to have 10,000 images within my 5 year window. The best thing about my library of images is that they are 100% owned by me. This will be a great commodity in my golden years with vector images really having a long shelf life in terms of trends.

Ribbons


Another version waiting for approval. Fingers crossed it gets approved.

More 3D Ribbons


This hasn't been approved yet but I just love the effect of these ribbons.

Why Vectors are So Amazing!



You can make a vector illustration any size and it will never lose image quality. You can even make a vector as large as a building!

50 Drawings a Week



With 50 upload slots given to me by istockphoto every week, making 50 drawings a week isn't difficult. The real challenge will be when I have 100 weekly upload slots once I get to diamond status. I wonder what I will being drawing then? Here is a shot I took at Laguna Beach and the drawing that I did.
