If you want a sneak preview of the kind of vector art that we will have available, you are in luck. Just take a look at the sidebar to your right, scroll down past the PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES, and you will find a new VECTOR ART section. Congratulations, you just hit pay dirt! These samples are free to use, without special permission. Enjoy!

I Now Have a Renewed Faith in Journalism

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A man identified as an Iraqi journalist threw shoes at -- but missed -- President Bush during a news conference Sunday evening in Baghdad, where Bush was making a farewell visit.

Bush ducked, and the shoes, flung one at a time, sailed past his head during the news conference with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki in his palace in the heavily fortified Green Zone.

The shoe-thrower -- identified as Muntadhar al-Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist with Egypt-based al-Baghdadia television network -- could be heard yelling in Arabic: "This is a farewell ... you dog!"

While pinned on the ground by security personnel, he screamed: "You killed the Iraqis!"
