This week’s IllustrationFriday topic was worn. Last week I had a sleeping dog and this week I have a worn out turtle. I don’t know if I’m subconsciously trying to say something or if it is just a coincidence. Anyway, I created this little guy in Adobe Illustrator. Enjoy!

I hit the $10,000 mark last week, so I got a little bump in my earnings at Shutterstock. I can’t say it is going to be a huge increase in my earnings, but every little bit helps.

This month was pertty good overall. It wasn’t as impressive as last month, but it was still up from earlier in the year. I’m still uploading like a maniac, so that may have something to do with it. Here’s the breakdown:

Check back next month for my June numbers. I’m experimenting with a few other microstock sites and Veer Marketplace opens up to contributors on June 8th. Hopefully, one of my experiments will make a new income source for me.
