POD Entrepreneur’s list of clipart, vector art, and other graphic links.
(Note: To the best of my knowledge all of these resources allow for commercial use of their products, but terms can change and people make mistakes, so it’s best to always read the terms of use before using any graphics in your designs.)
Clipart
- Clipart.com - Over 10 million graphics available for use. Most are very outdated. Not worth $160.00 for a one year subscription. Go to Journeyed.com and purchase the Clipart&More 3.5 million CD (currently $9.98) which includes a free one year subscription to clipart.com Apparently no longer true, which sucks because my free subscription just ran out. Clipart&More 3.5 million now offers a free subscription to iclipart.com, which does not allow their images to be used on Cafepress.
- Graphicsfactory.com - Royalty free clipart, currently $49.95 for a one year subscription.
- Tshirtclipart.com - T-shirt clipart packs and currently offering some free samples.
- Digital Clipart.com - Tons of original clipart available for royalty free use on t-shirts.
