My free drawings passing 500.000 views on Flickr – Thank You
My free CreativeCommons Drawings are now passing 500.000 views on Flickr.com and Christmas trees dominate my top 10
I have uploaded more than 4-500 drawings to the Flickr (one of the worlds largest image sites) during the last years. And I am very happy to see that I now pass 500.000 views there. The large majority of my drawings are about heavy things like Global warming, ecology, sustainable living, philosophy, society, love, family, life, psychology, people and other serious things and I think my drawings has been put to good use in a lot of different places.
But to my big surprise – Here is my all time top 10 on views on Flickr, so Far… Guess my 5-7 happy, defenseless Christmas trees really takes the winning price on Flickr, so far, half of my top ten views are of these Christmas trees.

And here are my following nine most viewed illustrations on Flickr:
- Two guys defining their targets, the second most popular drawing on Flickr, so far, a very, very business like drawing
- Man with shopping wagon, looking happy, I have made some less flattering versions of this, they are way down from this one
- Two men fighting over money, also a very popular drawing, Number 4 from the top
- Christmas tree I did under the Global Warming Conference in Copenhagen, so the most “environmental” of them. This one made it half way to the top ten.
- Christmas tree in ink and watercolor, slightly different style, sometimes I think this is the one that turned out best of my Christmas trees.
- Christmas tree with blue background, all watercolor – same series made it almost to top 5
- The Goldfish strategy consultant, one of my earliest drawings about strategy and coaching. I made it on a cold winter day, while sitting and drawing on the library on Copenhagen Business School.
- My network illustration – originally I wanted to make it into tapestry, so you could cover whole walls with networks all over
- Christmas tree with falling Popcorn, as one viewer called it – it still managed to get into top 10
- Christmas tree in watercolor, the all time number one
And as I am sitting here a late evening and looking at the Flickr counter passing by 499.838 views, I wonder if I should use this feedback to somehow adjust the way I do things, both here and on Flickr. Hopefully I can show you more about that soon and you are most welcome to give me feedback.
But most of all I am very grateful, thank you for checking out my drawings.
