Hi Gang, just a reminder that Hand Drawn Creative illustration can now be found at istockphoto. I'll be honest, it's been tough adhering to their strict codes of practice (keeps the plebs out, don't you know), but after a few months of wrangling, editing, research and repeated submissions I've finally been accepted as an official contributor. It all feels worth it too, I've already received a 5 star review from a fellow contributor and am working at building a healthy portfolio of work, that should work away in the background to raise me a steady little passive income. I've just added a new illustration I've worked on today (see below) Exciting times, spread the word Illustration fans!
cool new to hear about! congrats Neal!

Congrats!
It took me too some months to get to iStock with my illustrations, and after that I was a bit disappointed, their photo and illustration submit process is so annoying and the sales were much lower, than on Shutterstock or Dreamstime. Maybe you should try (if you are not exclusive on iStock) other microstock agencies (at least those two, I mentioned) - check my article about them: http://sellinggraphics.com/4/Best-microstock-sites-selling-photos-illustrations
