It’s been a while since we’ve been posting regularly here. However, fueled by the energy of our redesign and some really neat new projects, I’m going to make a sincere attempt to get things restarted around here. To start things off (again), and in honor of National Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept 19) enjoy some piratey tattered banner vectors. We’ve missed you all. It’s nice to be back.

I posted a simple heart vector last week, which I actually had a fair amount of fun making. As I was making it, I noticed how many shortcuts and simple techniques make the process of vector illustration so much easier. I’ve learned a ton of great stuff from Vectips, Vectortuts, and Abduzeedo and wanted to pass along some workflow tips of my own. Have fun.
Oh, I should stress (as though it’s not already obvious), I’m no anatomist.

Introducing the first free resource in the ClickPop comeback. I wanted to get this out for valentines day, but got a little caught up in some fun projects I’ve been working on. So here it is, better late than never. Consider it a very early 2010 valentines day release.
As always, if you come up with something great, let us know. We love to see the amazing work creative people do with our humble resources. Happy illustrating.

No matter what you think of his politics, U.S. presidential cantidate Barack Obama has a pretty incredible marketing and design machine behind him. One strong example of this is his “O” logo. Simple, attractive, symbolic, it’s undeniably an effective logo.
Another aspect of the Obama campaign that is attractive to a lot of American’s is the grass-roots, everybody can be involved attitude that they’ve been trying quite successfully to convey. In honor of that attitude, and just in time for the Democratic Convention, I thought I would show some really helpful Illustrator techniques by making the Obama logo. In this tutorial, we’ll be going over the Pathfinder, Envelope Warps, Opacity Masks, and Gradient Meshes. And we’ll use a drop shadow!
What’s that? You don’t think we can do it? I have three words for you my friend.
Yes. We. Can.
