Clipart Resources

Barry's Clipart Server - Just recently discovered this image gallery. Good choice of photos, clipart and animations. Very easy to use.

Microsoft Online Clipart Gallery - a searchable archive of high quality images. No annoying pop up adverts like you get with most other clip art gallerys but sadly they have changed it lately making it harder to download images.

School Discovery Clipart - Not such a good selection as the Microsoft site but contains some good quality images and well worth a browse.

Iconology - an online collection of icons to insert into your webpages. A wide range to choose from but you will have to wade through them all to find the good quality images.

Cool Text - Very useful site that creates logos, buttons and fancy fonts for you. Does all the hard work for you if you don't have the graphics skills.
