la Fête du Muguet – free vector
It’s a french tradition to give the ones you love a bouquet of delicate lilies-of-the-valley each year on May, 1. You can buy them on every street – the florists have a busy labour day. It’s definitely worth carrying over to wherever lilies-of-the-valley are in blossom now. I prepared this free vector bouquet for all [...]
... moreone thousand nights and one vector freebie
No, it didn’t take me that long. It’s the spirit of the 1001 Persian stories that I sensed while working on my recent vector illustrations. Still, the initial idea was somewhere else. I’ve got a cute (love them all) collection of horses. (No real horse! -I’m scared to death). But I’m not a nice collection owner. I’ve never even counted them or gathered all together in one place.

... morepaper-cuts: free vectors and iPhone wallpapers
Today’s post is inspired by traditional folk paper-cuts. The ones you can find on old faded postcards.
I thought to link it by contrast with a shiny iPhone. The screen I dream of (high on my wish list).
Below you can find my three suggestions for iPhone wallpaper.
free vector japanese kokeshi dolls
Some time ago I drew a kokeshi doll in Photoshop (my flickr photostream or deviantART gallery).
Today I decided to redraw kokeshi in Illustrator (vectors rule!).
free vector stamps (birds again but not necessarily to do with twitter)
I like stamps. I had some fun. At least until I decided to experiment a bit with mesh tool (long way ahead to master it…) Traumatic discovery: no command to remove gradient mesh (or am I wrong?). Luckily, there is a trick that works. Go to Object > Path > Offset Path and set the [...]
