New vintage freebies and more goodies/news!

Yeh, I know, I know, I totally suck at keeping up with this blog and Freebie Fridays. Things get so busy and I just can’t seem to keep up, and for that, I am sorry. I am making it up to you, though, because I have uploaded four fun freebie vintage images for you to download. All are 600 dpi and about 1500 pixels on their longest sides. Here is a preview, just click the image to download the zip file:

I have noticed a bunch of new subscribers to the blog–hey you guys, post! I know you’re out there, lurking, because I see you signing up Since I’d like to get to know you, I’d love to see you posting. So check in and say howdy!

Anyway, first, let me tell you about the simply GORGEOUS new stuff available at Vintage Art Download, yes, I will say it, call it bragging, but we are far and away the best vintage art download site on the web. Sure I am biased, yeah, I own the place, but man, nobody has our selection, our quality, our customer service, our pricing or our totally singular terms–we don’t ask for any licensing fees and we don’t impose restrictions on use. Nada. Zilch. Nuthin’. Nobody offers 2400 dpi images at 4000-5000 pixels in size, enhanced, retouched, archival quality images.  That’s why printers of posters, fine art/canvas, artists, designers, crafters from all over the world buy from us. They know good stuff when they see it.

First, our newest addition is beautiful Victorian Fairies and Nymphs. We only have about twenty images so far, but they are all archival, all 2000-2400 dpi, and all at least 3000 pixels in size…they go up to 4000 pixels. Here are a few of them, aren’t they gawchuss?

We’ve also added a lot of other new artworks to Vintage Art Download. We added at least one hundred new Vintage Travel Posters that you absolutely must see. From beautiful Italian travel posters to trains and planes and posters from every country from Egypt to India to Japan, they really are gorgeous. To see the newest additions, they are always at the end of the section. Click the image below (three of our new ones) to go to the section:

Also, *cough cough*, we’ve added some pretty racy Erotica to the site. We intend to add a lot more, but we’ve got some beautiful art nouveau style erotica as well as Pete Fendi images–Fendi is extremely graphic yet there is a childlike innocence to the images. Click here to see.

We’ve also added a Renoir category, as well as some archival Monets and Klimts. We’re always adding new stuff to the site, so you really need to look at all the sections you’re interested in. Most likely, there will be new stuff. Coming very soon: high resolution, archival quality VAN GOGH.

Love and Kisses to you all, please post to me so I don’t feel like I’m singing in the dark here.

Free Desktop Wallpaper Download: “Unrequited”

A moody piece I did a few years ago; altered photography. A bit romantic, a bit Goth, a bit edgy.  For your desktop pleasure and for private use *only*. Enjoy

Click the image to download.

Why I love (and highly recommend) Irfanview.

Every time I use Irfanview I discover some other little magical power-packed feature that comes in handy.  Besides being able to view all your images in the way you like them, it does a lot more than just resave and resize in different formats. If you install of Irfanview’s free plugins, this little, non-bloated program packs a huge punch and can help you with very sophisticated requirements. And I mean more than viewing slideshows, although it can do that, too.

There are a lot of image viewers out there, such as the popular (and commercialware) ACDSee, but none of them can hold a candle to Irfanview.

With Irfanview, you can implement sophisticated batch processes such as twain processing (scanner, camera);  mass image renaming, batch resizing, batch image type, batch processed rotating, batch saturation changing,  batch DPI, batch sharpening, brightness, contrast, color balance, text overlay, color depth and RGB assigning, and more. You can add and strip EXIF data, add EXIF comments, take screenshots, assign desktop wallpaper. It’s also a multi-media player–and a damn good one that can handle anything you toss at it.

Irfanview is not a big bloaty program, and its interface is simple and intuitive.

Irfanview is constantly upgrading and improving their fabulous software, and it still remains (amazingly) free. Just make sure you download all the plugins so that you get all the benefits of Irfanview. I love it, I couldn’t work without  it, and am grateful to the folks at Irfanview for continuing to make it available for free. Download it, you’ll love it.
