Where to find artwork for engraving

[Dan Kozakewycz]

This is what I do for my artwork, buts it's a manual job and very time consuming.

my work is simple line art, so it's just a case of tracing over everything with the pen tool in illustrator.

all-free-download * com has TONS of good, free vectors (website name DOES include the dashes)

takes a while to learn what is their stuff, and which is the ad for other 'for-pay' websites - but well worth it !!!

Hi Dave,

I am looking for a heap of clip art etc to offer as part of engraving timber phone cases, chopping boards and plaques.

Would you happy to show me what you have?

Cheers Ian

Ian all you have to do is look on the web theres gazillions of stuff out there to find some free some pay.

And if you purchase Corel Draw you get a lot of decent clip art. I have found that the "free" clip art online often comes with other unwanted programs and the free is worth what you pay for it. What you are downloading in some cases may look great on your screen but its really a low resolution and won't scale or engrave well at all.

Your in a business prepare to spend some money. Most is copyrighted so if your selling this stuff you risk legal problems. Between my plasma cutter, CNC router and now the laser I have spent a lot of money on decent vector art.
