• Plastered

    Posted by John Simpson on August 12, 2005 at 5:47 pm

    Can anyone help please, i need a vector of a Plasterer at work & also a Greyhound in a running stance.
    Separate customers before some clever s-d (Marek) thinks up a joke .
    Hope someone can help me out here, Thanks.

    Here is a greyhound. This is a big bus company here in the States. I would suggest changing the dog, but it might give you a start.

    I heard he got plastered there as well, but this time I think he’s lost his mobile phone.

    It is just the arm and tool but might work. The guy that owns these images is really helpful. I believe he sells individual clip-art or the whole disk. I would contact him, he might have something you need.

    Thanks for trying, but i don’t think this one gives off a very professional appearance, what with the plaster dripping off a wallpaper scraper & he looks like he is of to play golf.
    But Thanks anyway, i appreciate your help.

    This is the thread I was referring to: https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.p … =plasterer

    I will probably run to the office in a bit, I will have a look.

    Just had a look at that thread Bryan, could be any trade, those two.

    I know i have seen a decent vector somewhere showing man with trowel applying screed to the wall, but now i need it i cannot find it.

    Thanks for your help.

    No Problem I will look in the mornign, in the mean time I found these online. They a bitmaps but if they are what you are looking for maybe you can shoe the client and just charge them to trace them.

    now we are getting somewhere, that’s the sought of thing i was looking for.
    I am searching through the Cd’s i have that i don’t normally use.
    I know i have seen one somewhere.

    Thanks Bryan.

    np, they should be relatively easy to trace. I know what you mean about seeing them somewhere. I searched the cds I have here and out of the millions of images can’t find one plasterer!

    strange that I thought I’d seen one as well, I have all manner of men doing all sorts of things 😳 but not one plasterer 🙄

    LJ,

    How did you make out? I did not find anything usable here but found out the images I remembered seeing are from our Business Card Printers Catalog. I can call them and see if they will send me the image but not sure if they are vector.

    Thanks for all the trouble you have gone to, i appreciate it. I will try to persuade my customer to go with the selection that i have including the ones you posted yesterday.
    If he can provide me with a photo i can always send it to Vectorwise to see what can be done.
    Thanks again,
    L J

    This is the one that the customer chose in the end, sent it to Andrew at Vectorwise at 5pm yesterday received it back 7 pm same day. I know it is a fairly straightforward gif to vectorise but when you are up to your neck in work & 1 of your staff of 2 is off work i thought it would make sense to send it too Andrew.
    Anyway Bryan & Lynn thanks for your help & just like to say that it’s the 1st time i have used Vectorwise & i can now highly recommend his services.

    The wording on the “Arm” i have welded in myself to keep it all on one level.
