One concern which constantly permeates my illustrations is usability. Creating images from a blank digital canvas can be liberating and all but if your goal is to reach the microstock audience, you’d better keep your work useful. Unless of course, you are planning on selling your work through art galleries, but that is a totally [...]

The fifth installment of the "Baby Prints" collection brings a very important business implication for those who, like myself, sell Royalty Free licenses to the microstock market.
Unfortunately, once an image hits the microstock agencies, behind its sales hides an enormous number of irregular license uses. Honestly, I cannot put a number [...]

Designing floral patterns for a baby collection is a highly subjective thing to do. Do flowers and floral arrangements really have an applicable, predetermined age range
