New Visitor to EZArt...? ( More detailed information located here ) Use this as a "Quick Reference" page to help in explaining the art packages offered from EZArt. Short History: (full history) My initial mission, when I first came to the interNet back in 1993, was to provide a custom Adbanner design service to clients. I have since evolved into specializing in Western/Equestrian/Wildlife themed Silhouette clipart for the Metal, Vinyl, Fabric and Wood cutter industry. In the last few years, I have concentrated on one main "Western" theme series: EZArt is the one and only main distributor of the Western Moon Silhouettes package called "Cowboys & Critters". It is a series of Black and White .BMP formatted Western clipart that have been rendered in 600 dpi resolution. I have taken a majority of the "edge cleaning" work out of these .BMP images to make them more compatible to be "imported and traced" in the CNC Plasma and Vinyl cutter systems in service today. The "Cowboys & Critters" clipart series are exactly what they are named. This series is dedicated to anything Western, Cowboy, Rodeo, Equestrian, Wildlife, Farm animals... etc. At this writing, there are 630 pieces dedicated to pure Western/Equestrian interest... all divided into 9 Sets, each containing 70 images per Set. I have recently posted a "thumbnail" preview catalog of the "Cowboys & Critters" series that show the Set(s) breakdown of what images are contained in what Sets. This "catalog" consist of 18 "sheets" with the images in "group layouts". This catalog can only be entered with a userID and password Log-in. The Log-in codes are randomly changed automatically... so you will need to contact me to get the password/login information at any given time. The "Cowboys & Critters" series are sent out on Mail-out order options on a CD/Jewel case in UNcompressed .BMP format. The Download options are delivered in a compressed WinZip package... but still in .BMP format when "extracted" from the .ZIP package. Before you spend time sending me an e-mail asking if I offer my series in a Vector format (.DXF), let me give you some hard earned background. For over ten years dealing with graphics for the "cutter" industry, I have found that there is not one generation of .DXF that works the same for all the different cutter systems I cater to on a daily basis. Each "cutter" system's software tends to read Vector formats differently (depending on the AutoCad .DXF generation), and a "universal" Vector format does not exsist (as yet) for all the "cutter" software programs that I deal with. What has been a "standard", over the years, is the fact that most cutter software, and even third party Raster to Vector software (R2V), can either "Open" or "Import" the universal format of .BMP, do the Trace steps and either "Export" it out, or do a "Save As" in the Vector format (or generation) that works best for that particular cutter system. That is why my "Cowboys & Critters" are only offered in the Raster format of .BMP. This package series falls under EZArt's generalized name of "Western Moon Silhouettes" that has been a product line name of EZArt for years. There is a Secure Encrypted Online Store to order any, or all, of the 9 Set series described above. I use a "call-in" credit card service that I have access to during weekdays. I have a Mail-in form for both Visa and MasterCard card holders, Cashiers checks and Money order clients that can be printed out and mailed to EZArt. I offer either a Download delivery option (guidelines) that I setup by hand for each client... or a Mail-out delivery option. The Mail-out option will give you three postage rate choices (USA) which covers CD, Jewel case, packaging and postage. I try to personally be available to take orders Monday - Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm CST. While orders are stored no matter what time they are made, should you need to contact me on a "quick" basis, I am at the keyboard nearly every weekday morning between 8:00am CST to Noon as a rule. Between Noon and 2:00/4:00pm CST... this is generally the time frame I make those 38 mile roundtrip mail-runs and take care of other daily business that crop up around here. Should I be out of pocket for a few days... there will be a very noticable "Out of the Office" announcement that "pops up" on the Main page, and Online Store page, giving the day/time I will be back to personally handle your order. The rest of EZArt's Website are the results of over 10 years of collecting links to software and creating information pages of interest to those dealing with graphics and digital photography. Please take the time to read my FAQ page which will answer many of the most asked questions I receive on a daily basis. It is filled with direct answers to direct questions dealing with the "why's" and "how-to's" of how EZArt strives to do business... especially info on the clipart packages I offer. There is in-depth information concerning the art packages, Display Guidelines and Copyright and License Agreements. Thank you... enjoy your visit... -Stan EZArt Graphics
