elcome to LittleLion Studio’s blog, or should I say welcome to my blog? Either way, you are very much welcome! Truth is it is a blurred line between myself, Leo, and LittleLion Studio at least for the time being. With that said, let me give you a quick tour so that you’re right at home in no time.
First off, the time you spend here is supposed to be a pleasant one so feel free to explore at your own pace and to contact me at any time with suggestions, constructive criticism or rants, the door is always open. Above all though, share your thoughts with us through the comments section. Whenever you ask yourself "should comment on this?", the answer is a sounding "yes, you should!!".
Back to our tour, I initially divided this blog into seven categories which might expand or shrink, we’ll see… In the "All Business" category you will find posts about, well, the business side of things or what it takes to make a living out of graphics content creation. In the "Inspired by" section, I try to bring to you some of the steps involved into turning a blank canvas (sometimes an inquisitive, daring monster, trust me!) into a vector art that someone, somewhere, will think of as the perfect fit for their project. "Featured in" is a bit of showboating on my part (apologies in advance), where I will mention all walks of projects in which LittleLion took part in. As a matter of fact, you might just stumble upon some of my work applied into some product which I probably never heard of, that’s the beauty of microstock (more on this later), so please, make sure to drop me a line whenever that happens.
Blogs are supposed to be informal, so here I decided to create a new paragraph… Anyway, there is the "Out of the Oven" category featuring recently released work and "Jump Starting", which I really hope will bring you back here regularly as I try to give you tips on starting
your own creative projects.
thoughts through comments but if you believe you saw something here worth spreading, click onto your preferred social network and share away!
‘But wait, there’s more!’ oh boy… from here you can head to microstock sites where my work is available for purchase (soon enough I will start selling it here as well, I’ll keep you posted) or contact me directly with enquiries for commissioned projects. Also, you can become our fan on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and all that jazz. Be my guest at the "Blog Roll" and find out about sites I follow. Oh… and there is a "Newsletter" on your way, so go ahead and subscribe to it right now! Lastly, if you’re Press or want to mention LittleLion Studio, this blog or myself in your own blog, magazine or newspaper, check the "Info" section, there you will find everything you need.
Well, I guess this is it! As I said on my "Greetings Message", I am so happy you came! Keep coming back and I’ll stay happy! ;-)

I’ve been a fan of your work since I discovered it on Dreamstime and I’m excited that your website is up and running. I wish the text was darker so I could read it more easily. I’m not a senior citizen or anything, but it’s a struggle for me to read your inspiring words.
Thanks a lot, Sharon! Keep coming back as I plan on keeping this site busy and an online store is on its way. As for the text color: dully noted. Best,
I love your work and just like the previous poster, I found your unique style and designs on iStockphoto.com and since then, I am a big fan! I find your work very distinguished(?) sorry English is not my first language. What I meant is that I can recognize your work even among hundreds of other istockphoto.com designs, very inspiring. Also, I agree with Sharon, text here is very small and light and I hope that I won’t get “dully noted” too, haha!
Hello Rhian,
Thank you for writing in and for the props. I am happy that you can identify my work so easily, I guess, luckily enough, my style comes to me naturally, then again I try not to fall victim to it and become repetitive…
Anyways, when I said dully noted to Sharon I really meant it. I am actively investigating the matter which, frankly, comes of as a surprise to me since dark brown text on a light cream background generates enough of a contrast to easily read text on hi-res monitors featuring very small pixels from a distance. The unvisited links are orange reddish, only the visited links are, purposefully pale… Again, I’m investigating and if need be, I’ll make the necessary adjustments. In the meantime, thanks for the visit and keep coming back and commenting! :)
