Shutterstock finally announced its long awaited raise last Tuesday. Although not what many people fantasized it would be (and I emphasize the fantasy aspect of the forum chatter), it helps the bottom line. By the end of this summer, I should also have another small raise, so I'm not complaining but enjoying the fact that I'm getting paid at all for my pictures. I find that creating fractals and vectors to be a relaxing process, and since I'm learning as I go, I don't feel that any time I spend on it is wasted. Now I'm turning my efforts toward the fall holidays because this is when I think sales will pick up. My plan is to have a portfolio that supports the buyers' shopping lists.
