What is Toon Vectors?
Toon Vectors is a new stock art site focusing on vector images. The site pays a generous royalty to artists of at least 70%. Images cost $19.99 for the standard license and $99.99 for an extended license. Here’s a little bit more about them from their FAQ:

Toon Vectors is an online collection of royalty-free stock vector graphics and clip art available for download at affordable prices. Toon Vectors is based in Austin, Texas and was launched in early 2012 by Chris Thoman, a software and web developer.

In a marketplace of oversized stock agencies that have become increasingly greedy and hostile to the interests of the actual content creators that make everything possible, our goal is to provide a smaller, more intimate venue for artists and illustrators to sell their creative works. We believe that the original artists, and not the middlemen, should receive the largest share of the profits from their own hard work.

Who runs it?
You may have noticed the site owner’s name above and thought that it sounded familiar. There’s a reason for that. The site was created by my brother, Chris Thoman. While I’m not an employee there or have any special affiliation with the site, I do know the owner pretty well.

How are the Sales?
It’s a brand new site (still has its new car smell), so I can’t give a review on how the sales will be. That said, I am excited about the potential of it.

Can I Sign Up?
Yes and no. Currently, the contributor side is unfinished, but you can contact Toon Vectors to get signed up for when the submission features go live.

Well, that’s all I have to say. It’s nice to have another fair paying agency out there, so go check it out!

February is always an interesting month because it’s usually a couple days shorter than the other months. Sometimes those extra days make a difference and sometimes they don’t. This year it didn’t seem to be a big factor for my earnings. I was still hovering right around the $2K mark (which seems to be about average after I eliminated iStock.

Things of note this month:

Clipartof continued to push Shutterstock for my top agency. Veer leapfrogged several agencies to end up as my number three earner. They seem to do that every so often, so I’m not going to read too much into it.

My own site was a bit sluggish in the sales department in February, but I completed a lot of new and great (at least I think) illustrations. I also got my Affiliate Program up and running. I’d like to get more of an ad campaign going and get the word out. If only it was as easy as buying a few Adwords ads. I guess if it was, then everyone would be doing it.

I hope everyone had a great February!
