I'm wondering if anyone know where I can find on the internet a site to download non copywrited photos and images. I want to try to create and sell some items on Zazzle but the photos you use cannot be copywrited.

Photos, I don't know. Clipart, I know two places: http://www.clker.com/ and http://www.wpclipart.com/ - they both have a load of stuff that'd be usable. Try searching for "public domain" photos/images. Anything in the public domain is free to use and the search term will usually bring up some neat stuff.

No - I'm what you might call "creatively challenged". I suck at that kind of thing!

Hi Spike, thanks for sharing those two links from above. I have never known about them before. That'll help me for when I'm doing my blog.

That's exactly what I use 'em for, Kry - free images for blog posts.

i've worked on zazzle going on 7 years-um..there's places you can buy images to use,like istockphotos..then you can also look for royalty free images such as book engravings over a certain age in public domain. this might be a good place for you to start. http://www.reusableart.com/v/vignettes/block-prints/

Scarlet - thank you so much for the information. I started to try and create something in zazzle but have put it on hold since I am not entirely sure that what I am doing is right. I guess you have had some good luck there since you have been with them for so long. Any tips that you could pm me?

I honestly don't know of any sites on the internet where you can find any photos that are not copyrighted. Instead, what I would do is to take my own images and use those because I would be certain that no one else held the rights to my own artistic work. I am more of the person that would rather be safe than sorry when it comes down to things and I would never even run the risk of stealing someone else's work.

That is probably the best way - to use your own images. At least then you know that you can't get into any trouble.
