Default I'm looking at buying designs but cant find

I'm looking at buying photo designs for transfers but cant find where to buy them from to start a small shirt/mug hobby business. I keep seeing dog/horse/cat breed photos that are used on shirts/mugs all over the web from shirt transfer businesses and on ebay but can't find anywhere that you can actually buy the images so you can print out yourself. I've email a dozen businesses in the US and UK but no one is responding to me and any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can also buy pre-printed stock transfers with those kind of designs.

Go to Pro-Word, Impulse and Boo-Z Warehouse for stock animal transfers. There are literally hundreds of them available.

Thanks heaps for all your help. I've had a look at impulse so far and they have the ones I've been looking for which is great. I was hoping you could buy the pictures not just the transfers so I could put them onto mugs as well but it doesn't look like I can do that.

Josie, you can buy just the photo. Just keep looking through some of stock photography sites that Fluid mentioned.

It might not be the same photo, but you can buy photos at the stock photography site's fluid mentioned.

The actual designs on the transfers are probably copyrighted to the transfer makers, so they may not be selling the same exact art by itself.
