Re: Getting decent artwork

Post by GoldRapt »

I was just wondering what us not artist type did for getting decent artwork.
I have tried tracing stuff and I suppose I must be guilty on nicking stuff when I copy and paste from the internet.
But today I was looking to find some decent artwork of a famous print called "Nine Pints of the Law"
I wanted that particlar piece because I am ready to test market mik.flash' Laser printer onto asda mugs theory.
Nine pints of the law is an intricate and faded piece of art so it would be a good example of what finish can be achieved.
Can I find a decent bit of artworj on the net,nah of course not.

What does everyone else do to get decent artwork when they cant draw please?

hi! this is what I was thinkink about couple of years a go! And decided to fill the hole on the market :) most people with question like yours end up on my web site. It must not be exacly waht you after but it help people to decorate things with something more then just photograph.

When I searched the net after some art work for subli buisnes I end up on the transfer press web site. link here
but it was not exacly what I was looking for.
so i decided to use iclipart.com
fantastic website full of pictures and graphics. 100% legall source for your artwork.
also you can use www.istockphoto.com but this cost a bit.

I launched a range of clothing a few years back and worked with several fantastic artists from the four corners of the globe. Artwork and designs can be extremely expensive but you can find designers that work for far less by looking at different countries.

I built up a network of artists and designers with different specialities that I can call on for work to be done.

Some very talented people out there.
