A Must-See site for great clipart!

I run into many sites that I like, and now & then, one really stands out & "WOWS" me over....

If you're looking for great clip-art, for digitizing, for printing elements for your scrapbook or whatever else, you *must* check out the artwork of Judy Howell at:

J & B Howell Creative Expressions

She has a whole page chock-full of free samples you can download, to see what her art is like, and her subscription price is amazing -- only $4.99 a month for full access to her archives of years worth of artwork, or $19.99 for six months! I just stumbled across her site this morning, and needless to say, I'm subscribed now! I like her variety & plan to use some of her images for doing some new designs!

If you see a specific picture you would like to see digitized, just let me know!

I'm aware of the 'popular' sites - like Clipartopolis, JD Clipart, etc - and their work is great - but so many digitizers get their art from those sites already, I didn't want to have a ton of 'duplicate' designs on my site, that you already see at dozens of other sites. (And at this point, I can't really afford to buy 'exclusive' sets...)

(As with any artist/designer/etc, be sure to read & follow her terms of use if you grab any of her pictures. Very generous terms - you can basically use the art to create whatever you like, for both personal & commercial use - you just cannot re-sell/re-distribute/etc the actual artwork itself ) Many clipart sources either ask a higher price to start with and some ask an additional fee for commercial usage - so I truly appreciate her generous terms of use along with the fantastic price!



Have a great day, everyone!
