Looking for a fighting Tarpon

Post by **andyb** » Sun Aug 06, 2006 3:35 pm

Does anyone know where I can get a vector of a Tarpon that in fighting like it has been hooked? Or, even a good JPEG that I can convert. Searched Google and didn't find a good one.

Lotsa tarpons on google but couln't find a fighting one to convert quickly. Here is one but not much of a fighter.

I'm glad someone knew what a Tarpon was. I guess it just proves I spend way too much time indoors.

Not too many tarpons in our neck of the wood dig!

Pauls image vectorized with Inkscape and opened straight into VCPro.

Looks great!

Click art 125,000. I remember the license reads something "like the designs may be used for projects but can not be resold as clipart".

If you take the tif into a photo editing program, increase the number of pixels (4X), and then blur the image, sometimes it will improve inkscape's output.

Good luck.

Tarpon 5 really looks nice. Please post the results if you cut it.

PS A short plug for Click Art -- I have found several hundred of the images to be ready to cut with no editing; Thousands more are usable with minimal editing. It's 9 CD's with a variety of formats and it's a great buy. I've seen it as low as $14.95 (US).

Thanks to all. I have a customer that wants a sign of a tarpon with their name cut into it. I will post want I cut for them. It will be a couple weeks or so.

4 designs, 2 previews, and a total of 10 messages all in a few hours. This is what a forum should be!!!

Thanks to all that uploaded the tarpon graphics. Here are the two option that I sent to the customer. I may need to clean them up a little more. The other problem is that I have to purchase V-Carve Pro this Friday.

My job was just eliminated the past Friday after 9 1/5 years with the company and I get my severance on Friday. I'm jumping with joy at the opportunity do my CNC work full-time.

Thanks again to all
