Large old style brown cuckoo clock with ornate decorations featuring curls, leaf motifs and a couple of abstract figures.  The clock has a cream and silver display with long black roman numerals. On either side of the two doors near the top there is a strange looking figure appearing to blow smoke into the air. On the background there is a dimply lit seamless checkerboard pattern with alternating blue and brown joker hats.

Again, this is a rework of a previous design with different ornaments, less effects and a more simplified structure. I didn’t really like the curls around the dial in the previous version, so i decided to replace them with a more consistent design. You can use it as a whole or deconstruct it to bits and include the various elements in your own projects.

A long, simple compact fluorescent lamp composed of one u-turn shaped white tube. The energy saving light bulb has a green recycling sign on the white plastic where the electronic ballast resides. The eco-friendly household item is featured against a green seamless background pattern made from the repeating image of a maple leaf.

This is a rework of a previous illustration which had a more  complicated structure, employing mostly basic visual effects of a considerable number of shapes. For this version, i went in a completely different direction in order to achieve a much more simple solution with just a handful of paths. Most of the lighting is done by superimposing stacks of  fill layers, either solid or gradient (both linear and  radial). The background symbol was created from a photo taken a couple of years ago, which i traced and then managed to reduce the number of anchor points.

Set consisting of twelve fleur de lis symbols in one-color designs. Six of them are simple monocromatic shapes while the remaining ones have different hollow ornaments on the inside as well. They all feature various types of curls, fleurons and the spade like shape in the middle. Inspiration came from various history and architecture books, which pictured details from medieval castle facades or from extended ornaments built around a certain coat of arms. You can use them straight up after download, tweak them around a bit to suit the exact needs of your project or break them down and employ the resulting shapes for your specific design scenario. If you’re interested in downloading the background texture as well, just visit my Flickr photostream (see the menu on the right) and you’ll find it there along with others.
