Free marble vector set

For anyone who may have lost their marbles, I have a few to spare! This is a set of thirty, unique glass orbs (marbles) for free use.  I created these becuase I love the combination of colors and twisted shapes all confined in this perfect sphere (circle really but the illussion is there!).  I had a lot of fun creating them and you can preview the entire set here.

Mobile vector

 

[ai] Mobile Vector 
Six vector shapes based on a Flensted Designs based on Alexander Calder's style.  How about that for third generation?!

Why this vector? As an artist, Alexander Calder was featured prominently in my college library.  The library housed mainly tapestries and perhaps a mobile.  Admittedly, my memory of college is a bit hazy.  None-the-less I love the simple, elegant shapes of Calder's designs and the movement they portray.  I think it would make a cool tatoo, background shape, desktop, photoshop brush, or make it into a photoshop shape! 

Alexander Calder (22 July 1898 – 11 November 1976), also known as Sandy Calder, was an American sculptor and artist most famous for inventing the mobile. In addition to mobile and stabile sculpture, Alexander Calder also created paintings, lithographs, toys, tapestryand jewelry. - wikipedia.org

So it appears I've been a comic book bender for the last couple of posts.   This Evil Ernie post is a vector of the smiley face that provides comic relief in the form of a wise cracking button.  Ernie is, well, evil and runs around wiping people out.  It's all pretty silly to begin with.  I created this vector from a picture I found online and then embellished it a little.  

I collected comics for a long time.  My dad got me started on them, taking me and my brother to comic stores and conventions.  I loved it.  It's one of my fondest memories: walking into a comic store with my dad and brother. Everywhere you looked in the store, there were colorful images, toys, shirts, and cards.  It was fantastic and fueled the imagination.  I don't collect much any more. However, I still buy collected volumes or graphic novels on occasion.  As a regular part of the blahg, I'll reference some of my favorite artists and stories both past and present. 

To that end, do I recommend Evil Ernie for reading or art?  Eh, probably not.  He was good for laughs but one or two issues was about all I could handle.  It was a comedy, horror series which isn't so much my genre.  The smiley here is a throw back to my childhood and still makes me smile when I feel like I need a little chaos.
