Topic: Any ideas? I need some good clip art sites.

I stupidly agreed to be the vice-president of the local Newcomer's Club.    Well hey, at least I said NO WAY to being president.   BUT, one of my duties is to get out the monthly flyer of the meetings.   We have different programs (and different locations sometimes) and I just think flyers look more interesting and fun with cute graphics on them.    I spent HOURS today on the thing.   I thought I'd just Google the words ''women'' and ''music'' and voila.    WRONG!    I did find some good music notes (the program is about the history of music) but never did find a good one of women gathered together.   I found this TINY one I used at the bottom but am not very happy with it.  

The web sites I went to (other than Google images) had those watermarks saying things like ''Harry's Clip Art'' over them, rendering them useless to me.   

I would love any help you can give me.   

Try typing in -- free clip art -- in google or Yahoo search.

Here's one site that might be promising:

iclipart.com

I went to another free-clipart.net/ that had a lot of pop-ups.

But there are plenty of others from which to choose:

Awe, &^%$ -- scratch my reply. I see they aren't 'free' -- they only have free samples so they get the search engine hits. Sorry. /Jo

Thanks for your effort JoEllen. That's the problem I was running into too. Everyone's wanting to get PAID any more (or advertise so much you can't get to the danged free stuff.) Of all the nerve. LOL Gail

If you have Photoshop, any other graphic program or a scanner that lets you manipulate brightness and contrast you can usually get rid of the watermarks.

I do our condo newsletter and I just type in 'subject' clip art. Or you can scan in illustrations you find. Artzooks, and Art Parts have some funny ones, just put in 'clipart' and others will show up as well.

I have never doctored up photos except to change the pixels for size. Maybe I can try that. Thanks for the idea U. Gail

I mostly use Microsoft Office Clipart, because it's free and downloads easily.  Good luck!

Thanks Molly. I recognize this one from my search yesterday. I will put it with my favorites. I think I won't have as much trouble when I'm not looking for a cute picture of a group of women. Gail
