Free Images For Art And Junk Journals

There are free images for both your art journals and junk journals all across the internet if you know where to find them. In my book, you should never have to pay for an image, unless you find something you really like, with all the available resources on the net. 

Just click on the name of the resource to take you directly to it.

These are freely useable photos and images that you can use without consideration of copyright issues. The only request that they make is if you use them on a website as I have, you give the photographer credit. There are thousands of photos available for you to print and collage.

Flickr Commons

The key goal of The Commons is to share hidden treasures from the world's public photography archives. There are worldwide groups submitting photos to this resource. So again, you are going to be able to find lots of free photos for your use. They do require that you set up an account, but it is well worth the effort.

British Library On Flickr

There are many realistic images that you can color or just print out. Lots of delightful clip art/

The Smithsonian On Flickr

Great site for historical and space images

Old Book Illustrations

Beautiful clip art and illustrations that you can use as-is or color.

Public Domain Review

Everyone is free to share, use and enjoy these resources that are now in the public domain. That means that you can use them in your journals at no cost to you.

Burst

This is a Royalty free use of photos and images from the people at Shopify. AS most do, they require you to get a free membership. The images are well organized and edited.

Pexels

Royalty-free images that can be used by anyone. More contemporary photos and images
In their own words, "Pixabay is a vibrant community of creatives, sharing copyright-free images, illustrations, videos, and music. All contents are released under the Pixabay License, which makes them safe to use without asking for permission or giving credit to the artist - even for commercial purposes." They do require you to register as a user.

Offline Resources For Images And Illustrations

There are lots more places to get free illustrations and copy for your art and junk journals. Start with your family and friends. Have them save old magazines for you. These are treasure troves of stuff for your journals.

Watch out for any free tourist magazines at airports or other places you nay travel.

Catalogs that come to your home also have useable and great resources in them.




Till next time, Happy Crafting
