It's fun to see some artist sometimes. Haa... If I wasn't worked in stores and passed all my time in front of the computer, life would be greater ;)

Yes, I looked at her portfolio when I saw the image of the week!
It's not the first time I see people on Istock with amazing talent but with a very disappointing download rate. But to be honest, I think it is more art than stock (actually a compliment).
I hope she does make a good living with commission work, and looking at her website, I think she does!

Great work, but too "artsy" for the stock photo crowd. I hate to see someone put so much effort into their "art" and only make a couple of dollars...

Just click through to her personal website.  OMG, if I could only have half that talent.  She has a nice collection of work, bookcovers, brochures etc., but only 31 on IS.  I wonder how many they have rejected that she only has 31? 

What is raster illustration?

Her work is so witty and clever. She really observes people and their habits.
