Over 23 thousands of downloads per year, that is over 2000 monthly downloads of free images. It’s quite a lot as for such small collection.

sxc.hu featured one of my simple illustrations (below, almost 7 years ago), and I thought.. why not?
So I started selling photos on internet. The first site where I uploaded images was the commercial part of the same company called stockxpert.com. Those were the days…
