Try istockphoto.com . Also, if you do a forum search for clipart, you'll find more great sources.

Google Images is actually not a good source because the images you find there often belong to someone else (copyright).

You need to find royalty free artwork for sale and make sure the license allows you to use the images for your intended usage (like printing on t-shirts)

You really need to read agreements before thinking of using something. Here is what it says about use on this site


You may use the Image
  • In digital format on websites, multimedia presentations, broadcast film and video, cell phones.
  • In printed promotional materials, magazines, newspapers, books, brochures, flyers, CD/DVD covers, etc.
  • Along with your corporate identity on business cards, letterhead, etc.
  • To decorate your home, your office or any public place.
You may not use the Image
  • For pornographic, unlawful or other immoral purposes, for spreading hate or discrimination, or to defame or victimise other people, sociteties, cultures.
  • To endorse products and services if it depicts a person.
  • In a way that can give a bad name to SXC or the person(s) depicted on the Image.
  • As part of a trademark, service mark or logo.
  • SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS!
Always ask permission from the photographer if you want to use the Image
  • In website templates that You intend to sell or distribute.
  • For creating printed reproductions that You intend to sell.
  • On "print on demand" items such as t-shirts, postcards, mouse pads, mugs (e.g. on sites like Cafepress), or on any similar mass produced item that would contain the Image in a dominant way.
It says that you must contact the artist and ask for permission as these are copywrited images. They are not free to use for what ever you want.

Hi!
You can contact the artists and they will be willing to let you use. We never had any hesitation from any of the artists.

yes that is what it says, to contact the artist. I just wanted to make sure that other members who may not be aware that they are not ok to use without permission
