Anchor Graphic Clip Art

Gypsy — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:51:56 +0000

The great thing about symbols is we connect to them either on a conscious or unconscious level. The anchor is a symbol of hope and is sometimes used in conjunction with the heart (charity) and the cross (faith). Sailors would tattoo their arms with anchors signifying their expertise in having crossed the Atlantic Ocean. If you sit at a desk and report the news then you’re a news anchor.

Anchors aweigh!

Gypsy — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 22:16:38 +0000

This is a 19th century woodcut by the French artist, Grandville. Here the playing cards have symbolic value with the Spades black color of death. The 4 people as suits in the front are pretty cool expecially the woman in the puffy sleeved dress representing Clubs. Naturally, the angel is all Heart.

Fleur de lis French Graphic

Gypsy — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:25:45 +0000

The stylized lily known as the fleur de lis has been around at least since the 12th century and is associated with the French Monarchy. I’m especially fond of symbols and use them extensively in my artwork. Long live the fleur!
