Those images not created by us are noted with the author's address so you can contact him direct for more of his work if it appeals to you. The only limitation on use of this art is that it not be compiled as a similar collection for sale. The majority of this art was scanned from original art created by our artists, from out-of-copyright 15th through 20th century publications either in the collection of Cy Stapleton or loaned to Stapleton by the owner, or compiled from other sources. Quality ranges from excellent to "usable", and is available in .BMP, .TIF, .PCX format. Other formats may be available upon special request.

This printout is on mylar reinforced 3-hole punched 20# bond. While we have a large variety of clipart in our library, we specialize in the type of art one might need for a county faire, festival, art & craft show, etc. as well as fantasy, renaissance and medieval type art. All of our art is 1 bit black and white .PCX line art scanned to be output on virtually any printer capable of printing graphics, as well as the higher resolution 1200dpi laserprinters and even higher resolution imagesetters. The images are then converted to .BMP and .TIF format. We use the .BMP format primarily because we have a utility that will print a catalog of our .BMP files. You can import these images into such software as Corel Draw, Publisher's Paintbrush, Adobe Illustrator, etc. to modify as you see fit. If you would like to convert our images to some other format yourself, we will include our favorite shareware graphics converter with any order if you request it. The only thing we ask is that if you find Graphic Workshop helpful and use it, please pay the author his low $40 registration fee in order to compensate him for the outstanding work he did on this program. If you need a special line drawing that you cannot find in our library, we will create that image for you for $30 and will send it to you on a disk that is filled with other clipart in the same format you request. Turn-around time on special artwork is 3 working days in our shop. The price includes UPS ground shipping. If you require next day delivery, please add $9 to your order. If You Are An Artist... If you are an artist who creates line art and you would like to be included in our library, please send us 50 representative images no larger than 8.5 x 11, or those images saved on disk as either .BMP, .TIF, or .PCX files, along with a brief biography of yourself; permission to distribute this artwork as bannerware; and an address and telephone number where interested parties might get in touch with you. Our only requirement is that the artwork be clean pen and ink black and white artwork that is all of the same theme. You will receive a copy of the diskette and a tear sheet from the catalog prior to its being distributed. You retain all copyright to the images. We develop specialty databases for the Graphic Arts industry and reach some 59,000 printers across the country through either articles we do for national and regional publications or direct mail. You may be as "commercial" as you please in your biography or text file, which will accompany each disk. We compress the 50+ files to fit on a single floppy (either 720k or 1.44) and offer the disks at $9.95 each. This is an excellent way to get examples of your work into the hands of a large number of printers and graphic artists.
