I know I've mentioned before that the benefits of doing stock work aren't necessarily financial. But today while I was listening to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me I amused myself by doing random Shutterstock searches to see what other contributers were doing. Look at what I found: out of 50,000 butterfly illustrations mine was (for that moment) at the top of the heap... numero uno... most popular... Yay! Also, I logged onto my Deviant Art account and found I had a message from an artist who had used one of my pics and received a "daily deviation" for her work. I am amazed and intrigued at what she did. I would really love to learn the skills necessary to do work like hers. So, yay again!
