There are two incredibly detailed 'peeled back' faces that reveal the inner tissues of the face - muscles, veins, arteries, glands, the skull. The free download includes an Illustrator EPS and a high resolution PSD with transparent background for drag and drop design happiness. Thanks for the suggestion Annika!]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/objects/medical-illustrations-face-showing-tissue-layers-muscles-vessels/feed/ 5 http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/native-american-yuma-tribe-doll-figures/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/native-american-yuma-tribe-doll-figures/#comments Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:11:29 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=454 Native American Yuma Tribe Doll Figures]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/native-american-yuma-tribe-doll-figures/feed/ 1 http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/cherub-sitting-on-skull/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/cherub-sitting-on-skull/#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:27:04 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=269 Cherub Sitting on Skull]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/decorative/cherub-sitting-on-skull/feed/ 3 http://www.vintagevectors.com/people/vector-art-ancient-religious-devotion-self-torturous-painful-poses/ http://www.vintagevectors.com/people/vector-art-ancient-religious-devotion-self-torturous-painful-poses/#comments Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:57:48 +0000 VintageVectors http://www.vintagevectors.com/?p=47 I'm sharing some very old engravings depicting early-1800's extreme religious devotion in India - devotion of the self-torture type. One man had been standing eight years, day and night. The author described his feet and legs as "so swollen as to require bandages to prevent their bursting"... Yikes! Another devotee kept his arm elevated until it had become stiff, and the fingernails had grown six or eight inches. The third figure elevated both arms. A former soldier who lost his leg and was released by the army, he turned devotee. "He took a small idol in each hand, and elevated them above his head until his arms became perfectly stiff and immovable".]]> http://www.vintagevectors.com/people/vector-art-ancient-religious-devotion-self-torturous-painful-poses/feed/ 0
