    Hi, can anyone help here or direct me to the right place.

    1. I am looking for an illustration, a silhouette of a person getting out of a wheelchair in sequence, something akin to the typical evolution illustration that you see, so perhaps 4 drawings, in wheelchair, getting up, standing, walking, running. I have been searching my usual vector stock and shutter stock but can't find this. It could be either a silhouette drawing or else something like a signage drawing. Anyone any ideas as to where I might get this, or find a bank of illustrations that I can cobble together to make this image sequence. I have no art ability so I always use stock items and edit them in illustrator CS4.


    2. I want a snakeskin swatch (to make some custom lettering with blackout line and snakeskin fill), anyone know where I might find this?

    Thanks as always!

    IF you have cs4 get a photo of someone in a wheel chair use the trace took when its placed then that'll give you a black and white, then the live expand button to break it all up then take out what you don't want from it
