Triggerfish have nasty teeth and strong jaws for crushing sea urchins. They can also be quite aggressive to other fish in aquariums. This one is friendly though, he just wants to hang out with his buddy the Lionfish under the sea... uh oh... now I have that darned Disney song going around in my head. "Triggerfish won't bite they're keeping the groove tight Under the seeeeeea." OK I made those words up. ;-)]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/clown-triggerfish-vector-and-color-photo-illustration/feed/ 2 http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/japanese-woodcut-engravings-of-birds-images-and-vectors/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/japanese-woodcut-engravings-of-birds-images-and-vectors/#comments Wed, 05 Jan 2011 14:44:27 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1101 I've got some more vintage images and vectors to share. Here is a collection of 7 stylized Japanese wooodcut engravings with birds as the subject. Each one is a masterwork in line art, the use of positive and negative space, and overall composition. Each one beautifully captures the spirit of the animal in a simple, elegant setting. There are no wasted strokes. The earliest of the engraved bird images is a Japanese woodcut from 1720, based on an image by the Chinese artist Muh Ki of the 12th century. Vintage indeed.]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/japanese-woodcut-engravings-of-birds-images-and-vectors/feed/ 4 http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/lionfish-vector-and-color-photo-illustration/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/lionfish-vector-and-color-photo-illustration/#comments Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:06:47 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1085 As the entertainment industry transitions from 2D to 3D, here at Vintage Vectors we're pushing the envelope too - making the bold leap from black and white to full color! ;) So here is our first barrier-breaking entry into the future - a tropical lionfish (or lion fish), the venomous marine swimmer sometimes called a devil firefish.
