About Solid Stock Art
Home of the one and truly royalty free license agreement!

Our goal is to create a family with Solid Stock Art and to never forget it is all about the artists. We've made uploading with us a little easier by tagging each file uploaded and licensed with Solid Stock Art by an internal team, preventing meta data bloating while saving the artists that upload with Solid Stock Art countless hours.
We will also lock down artist registration from time to time to keep our artist pool small. We are not a company looking for ten million images. We want a select and elite group of artists who are going to upload with us in order to provide the public with high quality stock art at reasonable prices.

Our one royalty free license (comparable to an extended license) gives us a leg to stand on in the industry. We strongly feel that our one license approach is the next stage in the life of the stock art industry. We grasp the volume of stock art cached and pooled for repurpose in the average business illegally. These customers are not maliciously misusing the stock art. They are simply uneducated and confused. We feel our easy to understand license agreement sets us apart. We look forward to saving these individuals and companies a bundle of money while filling our artist’s pockets.

A Word From The CEO
Really this is about YOU! We know what goes into every photo you take, every illustration you create, every computer generated image you've pushed to the next level. We KNOW if our content is 'Awe Inspiring'-sales will be the side effect (with a healthy dose of marcom power to boost that side effect, of course!)

So what makes us, us? YOU! The Artists! You are our board of directors. You are our stock holders. You are the foundation of this website. You deserve more. You have earned it.

About GL Stock Images
GL Stock Images is a marketplace for creative royalty-free stock photos and vector illustrations based in St. Louis, Missouri USA. GL Stock Images made its debut as Graphic Leftovers in early 2008 with a modest 200 images and has since grown to become one of the best collections of high quality vectors and images on the web.

GL Stock Images was founded by Daniel Errante and Kelly Jay, a creative web developer and graphic designer team. Their goal was to create a fresh and unique presence in the stock image industry by offering affordable image pricing and fair commissions for all contributing artists and photographers.

The GL Stock Images team has grown to include a group of seasoned image professionals with extensive experience in the photography, graphic design and commercial printing industries.

With the launch of its new website in early 2012, Graphic Leftovers not only changed its name to GL Stock Images, but also implemented an entire regrade of its web architecture in order to better serve customers and offer more comprehensive features for sellers.

About PhotoSpin
PhotoSpin is located on the coast in beautiful sunny, Southern California. In fact, if you can't reach us early in the morning it probably means the surfing (ocean not online) is pretty awesome and we're taking advantage of it! No worries though, we make it in for office hours and we'll get back to you.

PhotoSpin is a group of creative professionals with backgrounds in photography, graphic design, advertising, and film. Our founders love being submerged in great quality imagery and that's exactly why PhotoSpin was started, back in 1996. They believed then, as they do now, that all creatives should have quick access to good content at an affordable price.

At first, PhotoSpin built over 60 CD-ROM products and loads of content for other publishers. Ever heard of Kai's Power Photos? That's us! After that, we began offering images on the web as individual downloads. We licensed and promoted the work of other artists and photographers, too, through a series of beautifully packaged products called the Premier Series.

Yet, still, something was missing. We wanted a really good SOLUTION to offer our customers... an easy to access, affordable, unique content "environment" that our customers could completely submerge themselves in and visually communicate.

PhotoSpin is proud to bring you the first creative-content subscription site for professionals, launched for the first time in September of 2000! Visit our site often, as we add new images each month. Here's how PhotoSpin.com can benefit you today:

Saves You Time — No payment hassles! Subscribe once, download images whenever, for a year.
Saves You Money — Choose from 2 subscriptions.
Organizes Your Images Online — Custom light boxes allow you to search, save and quickly manage your content online.

PhotoSpin's services and products are constantly growing, but our goal has never changed. We aim to provide affordable, quality images to people who have the creative urge!
