We all love images: it’s why we’re here” sounds familiar for you, right? I guess it does, same as for me. Punctum is iStockphoto’s 3rd annual celebration of all things arresting and puncturing: videos, vector illustrations, photos and designs which gained Design of the Week award between July 1, 208 and July 5, 2009. All users can vote for their favourite piece in each category starting from today.

As a member of this great community I’m glad to say my artwork Winter Espionage takes part in this years run and getting Punctum award is another recognition I’m dreaming about. This belief has some background - Trust the Future was in the last years final 10.

Vote here, if you like my illustration. Thanks!
