Halfway through the April challenge

Posted in Uncategorized on April 19th, 2008 by Administrator

So far I’ve added 63 new images (60 vectors and 3 jpgs) to my portfolio for the challenge. I plan to pickup production for this second half of the month.

Part of my plan is to work in groups of loose themes. These themes may be a subject ex. butterflies or a style ex. grunge. It helps me a lot when I can create several images that could work together in some way. I have a set of birthday/celebration illustrations that I hope to get approved next week that I’m very pleased with.

Some samples of what is new this month in my Shutterstock portfolio:

Butterfly theme:

– (vector) a black banner background with butterflies in the outer frame

– (vector) two flying butterfly backgrounds in blue and red with included space for copy

– (vector) a set of abstract detailed butterflies elements on a white background

– (vector) soft color butterfly backgrounds, two examples of a set of 4
