Santa Claus Clipart

Here's a fun, smiling, jolly Santa running along with a sack (certainly full of toys) slung over his shoulder. I think he's cute. His body is kind of small and round and he has a nice, eager smile on his face. As if he can't wait to get to his destination to deliver his gifts. The illustration style uses a sort of stippling technique for shading.

The image came from an old newspaper ad published back in 1916.

A vector version is available here.

Belt Buckle Frame & Eagle Clip Art

Today I have two clip art designs that I am posting. These were originally one image, but I separated them to give you greater design flexibility.

I really liked this belt buckle frame. It originally had words on the belt, following its circular shape, so it could be used that same way again to use as a logo, have a short message, or what have you. Or leave the belt part as is, and just used the center as a frame for whatever text or image you want.

If you would like a larger, vectorized version of this belt buckle Frame then please click here.

Inside the center of belt, in the "frame" area had been this eagle with shield and banners that was pretty cool too. I removed the text that had been on the shield and banner so you can add your own.
You can get a vectorized version of this eagle here.

Halloween Cat, Witch and Owl Illustrations Clipart

I have been taking some public domain images I have found and cleaned up and turned into vector images, then put them on Pixabay so I can use them as an image host of sorts and help get the images found perhaps by more people than those few who find this blog.

The latest images I put up were from a Halloween set of a witch, a cat, and an owl. I think they look kind of like stamped images from a rubber stamp or a wood cut. I think they are fun and whimsical and the cat is especially cute. You can click on the images to go to the link where you can either download png files in small, medium or large sizes or download the svg file (for use in vector editing programs like Illustrator or Inkscape).

Carrots Clipart Black and White

Beautiful carrots. Okay, the illustration is a little flawed when it comes to the carrot on the left, but that only adds character, right? And considering the image is very old, from the year 1899, I think it looks pretty good.

Someone more ambitious (and skilled) than me could fix that up if they wanted to.

I think this is a cool image for garden related projects.

Rutagbaga Black and White Illustration

The text that originally accompanied this vintage illustration of root vegetables said that these were rutabagas and then said, "Purple Top Yellow."

Cheerful or Creepy Carnival Clown Announcer

I believe this is supposed to be one of those carny guys saying "Step right up!" or something like that, trying to get you to see a show at a circus or get on a roller coaster ride at the carnival. He has a bit of a clown like appearance as well.

Depending on how you look at it he is either creepy or just happy and cheerful. Actually, he might think the joke you just told is hysterical.

Man In Garden Black and White Illustration Clipart

Here is an illustration from the year 1915 of a man in a garden with a watering can planting seeds. Behind him you can see a fence and trees and clouds in the sky. He seems pretty dressed up to be gardening to me, wearing a waistcoat, tie and hat ... but maybe you would plant seeds wearing that back then?
