I  just had a look at  gfxtra dot com  They have some of my art work  that they are  just giving away. I don't know what to do.  

Any one know whats happend to DrawShop?

I just sent my opt-in letter  V. cool  

Let us opt out of the EL and the option to opt out of the subscription programme in the future if your estimate of the revenue  per download  turns out to be wrong. Them I and I think a lot more would opt back in.

13 cents for an extended license...     I'm out

I call myself an illustrator but you should call me a contributor

The image has been posted for sale now and looks fine there is no cropping any more.
