Clip Art Illustration.com: 2011

Some hacker(s) decided to take on one of the world's largest hosting company, inmotion, and replace everyone's index.php file with a cute little 1990's style "Server Hacked!" page, which plays a rap song (given your dumb enough to stay on the page long enough for it to automatically download...which I was).

If inmotion gets hacked and 25,000 websites (including this humble one I make a living on) with it, that should say plenty about the internet, no? Its not easy to hack someone like inmotion. I love inmotion, by the way. It just shows nobody is immune to hijacking in the great pirate-infested ocean we call the internet.

That being the case, what if someone like facebook gets hacked? Facebook deals purely in information - your information - so no doubt that would cripple society's identity as a whole. I guess the internet is only as trustworthy as the hackers that run it.

Here is the splash-page I was greeted with. Hackers seem fond of 1990's style web design (done by teen-age geeks with too much time on their hands).

ClipArtIllustration.com doesn't do social networks anymore.

Do you website old-schoolers remember the days when a website was all that was needed to run...well...a website? These days everyone seems more concerned with social media than the actual product or website they administrate. Who can keep up with it?! I'm going to rewind things back a few years and just stick to good old fashioned on-page presence and SEO.

I'm only one man, so I've decided to relieve myself of the extra work (and other possible issues) associated with social networks.

I've recently removed my site's activity from facebook and twitter in favor of keeping the website more independent from mainstream trends.

Please feel free to contact me on the website's contact page. - Leo

ROBORG, the Cybernetic Pixel Giant Robot from Leo Blanchette's Illustration Labs

Introducing Roborg, a walking behemoth similar to AO-Maru the friendly robot. Quite literally he's scrap pixels, rebuilt into this graceful heavyweight humanoid machine you see here. Is he a gentle giant, a powerful defender, or a walking agent of doom? I'm in favor of the first, but of course your design and needs will determine what role he plays. This project started as a customer request, but it didn't quite match the customer's vision, so instead of the model being wasted, I rebuilt some parts of the body and gave him a nice little semi-dome head (cute). So now Roborg has been added to the Robotto family on ClipArtIllustration.com. I hope you enjoy him! Feedback welcome.

Large and In Charge, 3d Security One Ton Robot

See this illustration: Guardian Robot, by Leo Blanchette

This not so little guy is a new addition to the AO-Maru robotics series. He's big, cute, strong, and most likely will level anything standing in its path. Wouldn't you like to have a pet robot like this?
This black and white space-age robot is a royalty free image, downloadable upon purchase, which will complement your creative design work in internet and offline applications.

3d Render of Big Cute Robot Guardian

See this illustration: Guardian Robot, by Leo Blanchette

He's large, in charge, and as a bonus, rather cute.

Notice his resemblance to the other robot on this site, AO-Maru. He's a rather built up version of that robot, obviously a security concept, or something more space-age and strong.

Green Screen Graphics Branding / Mascot Fun. 3d Model Project Round-Up.

The completed Greenscreen Graphics mascot. For those of you who are looking for custom illustrations and branding icons for your business, see the page where I describe this service - http://www.clipartillustration.com/36508/custom-mascots-and-illustrations/

This was a simple project done for Mike Gauthier's GreenScreen graphics. The g-bot will be seen crawling all over the walls of his shop.

This was an improvise. My renderer messed up this picture, leaving a whole area of the pic incomplete. Since it was broken, I just edited the photo in photoshop to look really broken.

Climbing the wall...left.

G-bot is leaning back and reaching toward you...

On-guard and contorted.

What is Clip Art?

What is clip art? In the most modern form, clip art takes the form of vector graphics, generally stored as an EPS file. The Wikipedia definition excludes clip art from the category of stock illustration, though modern internet culture has changed that fact.
Clip art is available presently in rights managed online libraries such as clipartof.com, clipart.com, and clipartillustration.com, all varying in quantity, price, and quality.
The name "clip art" is a label derived from the older traditional method of physically cutting (clipping) out a picture for use in another publication whether it be news, comics, or books.
