A link to a very helpful article on closing paths in Illustrator

Posted in Uncategorized on May 25th, 2008 by Administrator

Open paths in illustrator can be very hard to find in your work. This article links to two plugins that will find them and then fix them in all of two steps. I just started using these and they work perfectly.

The Think Big challenge – May thru August

Posted in Uncategorized on May 2nd, 2008 by Administrator

This month I and three others are starting the ‘Think Big’ challenge over at Shutterstock. We each have the goal of adding 3,500 plus items to our portfolios there. The challenge will be ongoing for four months. The actual challenge requires 1,000 of one type, 1,000 of another and then 1,500+ of any type of our choice.

It’s going to be a marathon. The best part is that even if we don’t make it, there is really no way to lose. Each one of us will significantly increase our galleries, our time management skills, and our overall skill levels.

So far I’m 22 images in with Illustrator open on my computer as I type this.
