The last city I called home had nearby a traditional Japanese garden from the early 1900s. The surrounding fencing was very much like one of these free vectors.]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/ancient-japanese-bamboo-gates-and-fences/feed/ 1 http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/clown-triggerfish-vector-and-color-photo-illustration/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/animals/clown-triggerfish-vector-and-color-photo-illustration/#comments Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:40:56 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1289 Here's another marine illustration - a Clown Triggerfish, commonly seen in saltwater aquariums (and of course tropical coral reefs). 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/decorative/decorative-border-parts-kit/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/decorative-border-parts-kit/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:21:11 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1215 Need to create a custom ornate border? Use these highly detailed elements to create a unique antique decorative border. There are 7 individual parts to stack, mix, match - whatever you like to get the design effect you're looking for. Maybe use one as a focal point in your own border or frame vector design. Hope you find these useful.]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/decorative-border-parts-kit/feed/ 7 http://www.vintagevectors.com/objects/set-of-teeth-and-gums-in-open-mouth/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/objects/set-of-teeth-and-gums-in-open-mouth/#comments Thu, 17 Mar 2011 13:26:54 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1230 "Look out teeth, look out gums, look out stomach here it comes!" Why I remember that old saying from my childhood I don't know. Maybe it's still said today. If so this vector might help illustrate the point. It's a set of teeth and gums, like an illustrated relic from an old dentist sign. Bite into the possibilities. ...dental puns are just not funny. ;-)]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/objects/set-of-teeth-and-gums-in-open-mouth/feed/ 1 http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/arts-crafts-style-roses/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/arts-crafts-style-roses/#comments Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:31:10 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=1188 The set of roses free download includes the decorative element in vector EPS format (black) and layered Photoshop format (color).
