What is the Difference Between Vector and Bitmap Images: A Vector Stays Sharp


A vector (eps file) stays sharp no matter how much you enlarge it. Look at the example of this litterbug cartoon character. The bitmap (jpeg file) gets blurry when you enlarge it. That's why more people want a vector graphic than any other kind of image. It's more useful and always stays smooth.

Buy Art from the Artist


With so many microstock companies profiting from the creative efforts of artists it makes perfect sense for an artist to sell directly to the public. My royalty-free vector illustration artwork is posted on CTE Consulting Services for purchase within seconds after I finish drawing them. Hot off the press! The biggest difference is in the savings. You save up to 50% when you buy direct, get the newest images, and have access to all my creative digital files on one site.
