Clip Art For Free - Best Source!

[wolf63]

I need a hobby and have decided to make some signs/posters using clip art.

Something basic, like this - https://postimg.org/image/ae0s0uc39/

My question is about getting relevant clip art free. Can anyone recommend a site that I can download from where the clip art could also be used for a commercial/book usage?

Just use Google and search 'images'.

Some....erm....interesting links at the bottom of that page.

You can find lots of clipart images on Google for any topic you want
- go onto google images , search for something like, "sunny weather clipart" and you get lots. Or use select Tools, Type, Clipart
eg http://www.weatherclipart.net/free_weather_clipart/clipart_illustration_of_a_smiling_sun_in_sunglasses_0521-1009-2213-0806_SMU.jpg
You need to check each image for copyright though- it will say if it's use is restricted

Google have made it a lot harder to download images from its image search

You used to be able to right click on an image and do "save as" on almost any image but not any more.

You could have a look at

ClipartPal http://www.clipartpal.com/_pd.html
Open Clipart https://openclipart.org/
Clker http://www.clker.com/

As far as I know, all the images on those sites are free for any use (but check the T&Cs on each site). You may have to sign up to them to get access to the full range of images - I haven't used any of them, but all have a sign up/logon option on their sites.

Thanks to you all - I will have a ferret around tomorrow and see what I can find. ☺

I'd look around for a copy of Focus Clipart software. i've used them for years and each DVD case has a number of DVD's in it, each with thousands of clipart images. The quantity of discs in the pack depends on the version you buy and can vary from 100k to about 500k. There are a few on sale on ebay. Just look up "Focus Clipart Software".
Remember though that each disc will contain a certain category of images so it will mean you'll have to change discs if you want to put an assortment of images up. Some of them contain a preview thumbnail of all the images in the pack and the caption will say which disc the image is loaded on.
