@Nikolay: Don't worry, I am addicted.
@Hannah: Thank you!
@Sean: Maybe someday down the road I'll open my own shop, but right now I am selling a lot through them. I'd probably charge a little less, but I don't think a little over a buck an icon is ridiculously expensive.
and that doesn't even include the thousands of free icon sets which nowadays are amazing as well :)
Just saying, you have an awesome collection and would be able to sell more than you ever could on istock. Drew wilson of pictos has probably sold his set 1,000,000 times ..
I would definitely go out on my own if I felt my income wouldn't take a huge hit. I'm just not convinced that would be the case. Something says I wouldn't hit a million downloads!
Yep, there are some really good iconographers in that list. But you lost me with the thousands of free icon sets. I'm not interested in going there! There's enough downward pressure in our industry (design in general), we need to get paid for our work.
Anyways, I appreciate the feedback, some more food for thought... who knows what the new year will bring.

You'd sell a whole lot more of these if they weren't so expensive on istock.

Yeah Scott, I'm not arguing the value of your work.. just stating that nowadays icons price on istock are a rip compared to...

Yeah I just meant it's harder for istock to compete now that there are designers giving away icon sets for free. I wouldn't want you to do that..
What I'm trying to say though, is that yours have a breath of fresh air.. a really nice style. I'd buy em :) just not on istock.
