Return of the Iconographer
Some time ago, I mentioned my little brother, Bobby, and his icon design work. Well, thanks to that post and its readers, Bobby has had a small but steady stream of icon commissions coming in from various Mac and web developers for awhile now (massive thanks to everyone who has expressed interest or referred him to others, by the way). What’s more, he recently managed a very respectable showing in the IconFactory’s Pixelpalooza “People’s Choice” voting with his Bathroom Items set (seventh out of approximately 60 entries). Not bad for a high school student!
Now Bobby’s hoping to take things up a notch by setting up a website to showcase his growing portfolio and (probably more interestingly to the average reader of this weblog) get into the business of selling stock toolbar icons. The latter can be purchased either as a full set (for $99) or individually (for the low, low price of $3). I imagine that the individual option might appeal particularly to a lot of smaller shareware or freeware developers who find themselves in perpetual need of toolbar icons but lacking the funds to commission them. If you fit that description (or even if you don’t), be sure to give Bobby’s stuff a look.
