Ask HN: where can I buy custom icons for use in my mobile app?
I'm working on a recipe app, and I'd like custom art for the ingredients. I know there are a bunch of free/paid image solutions for pre-made images online, but it's hard to find art for some more obscure ingredients. I'm interested in figuring out how much it would cost me for a set of custom ingredients if I can provide a list of what I need.

This is something that sites like 99designs are probably pretty good at.
I thought they just did logos, but I'll take a second look. I'll probably end up needing about 100 icons, so this may end up being too expensive for me. Thanks!
Nope, anything involving drawing, they can do. Just make sure you put at least a little bit of effort into verifying that your winning bit is authentic and not stolen, because that's been a huge problem with contests I've watched there.
I tried Elance and it worked surprisingly well for me, maybe I was lucky. Email me if you like and I'll give you details of the artist I'm working with and their pricing.
Will do, thanks!
