Stock images can save you many hours of work on illustration and allow you to focus your attention on the important task of designing. Finding the right vector for you, however, is a completely different matter, and can sometimes take just as long as creating a vector image yourself! That's why in this post we have rounded up a total of over 400 retro-themed vector images which you can use in your own projects.

When creating larger vector illustrations such as t-shirt designs or large poster advertisements, it is sometimes beneficial to use stock images for part of the design, rather than creating something entirely from scratch. It can save many hours, giving you much more time to focus on more important aspects of the composition. Making use of the hundreds of free and reasonably priced vector images out there will not only allow you to spend the saved time on the design itself, but can also allow you to finish the project in a shorter period of time, freeing up more time for yourself to start your next project or to simply relax!
