Ask HN: Use 99 Designs for website illustration

I am working on an MVP. I have a clear idea of what I want for the hero illustration. The idea is 3D style building, inspired by the intro of the Silicon Valley TV show.My first inclination is to use 99 Designs, but then my second thought is finding someone I like on Dribble and hiring them directly.

Re:Ask HN: What is the best way to find remote full time work? on Wednesday November 14, 2018 @05:20AM (#18448828)
I find remote work by simply demanding it, but be willing to do office visits if needed. If the hiring manager likes you, they’ll come around. Also I find not budging on rate because of working remotely is a better look. Don’t be desperate. Be Patient.
Re:Ask HN: What's it like to live in San Francisco? on Thursday May 10, 2018 @03:57AM (#17037103)
The current attitude is tech and homelessness and everything in between.

All the artist and musicians have moved to Oakland instead of living in the mission.

Its a sunny 70 degrees year round, except for in the summer its foggy by the ocean everyday.

Unemployment rate is extremely low (2.2%), but the rent is extremely high.

If you thinking of moving here, just do it. Everyone here is from somewhere else and came to chase a dream that they feel that SF can fulfill. And its true, dreams do come true in SF if you work hard enough towards your goals. But thats true with anywhere. Just in SF, if you don't have your ish together, you'll be homeless and booted out real quick. At least you got to have time in SF though.
