I LOVE ILLUSTRATION

Friday, February 20th, 2009

So being a full time freelancer, I’m looking at ways of diversifying my income – especially supplementing my large project based paychecks with smaller more frequent paychecks – the trickling stream method, if you will.

So, one of my strategies to create passive income is through the sale of stock illustrations and flash files. There are number of sites that specialize in this sort of submission / payment method. They get paid. You get paid. Clients get high quality work for affordable prices. Everybody wins. Two excellent examples that I plan to participate on are:
www.flashden.net
www.istockphotos.com

Here is my first submission. It only took me a few hours and was so much fun to work on.


I LOVE ILLUSTRATION.

I love it so much, I’m going to actively seek out more illustration jobs. It’s such a lovable combination of arty, imaginative and potentially lucrative.
Watch out illustration world, here I come.

Also check out this wonderful (free) screensaver:

100 Horror Movie Posters (pt 1 and 2)

Monday, December 15th, 2008

http://wellmedicated.com/inspiration/100-illustrated-horror-film-posters-part-1/

This is a really fantastic spread of 100 great horror movie posters. (Really 200, since there is a part 1 and part 2.)  The layouts are spectacular, typography is stellar and the illustrations are lush. I wish movie posters still looked like this.
