Did anyone else just get a bunch of photos/illustrations refunded? I just got a bunch of refunds issued on some illustrations, Illustrations that would have brought in decent coin before the micostocks companies killed the art industry now I am lucky if I make $10-20 off and they refund due to too credit card fraud. This is BS! Being a artist sucks!!!! You get ripped by everyone!!!

iStockPhoto.com / Lightboxes and ways to get your illustrations noticed

« on: July 11, 2012, 09:13 »

Hello there, I ve been illustrating for a couple years and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions on how to get you illustrations noticed on istock. Do Lightboxes help get a bit of a spotlight on your work?

For every couple of hours I spend on an illustration it just feels like it's a drop in a very large bucket.
