Image Donations

Those kind and skilled enough to donate images to WPClipart are listed below.

List of Artists

Charles Maxwell     http://www.underwatervideo.co.za

• ABOUT A Emmy award-winning underwater cameraman who has done work for the BBC, Discovery Channel, National Geographic and others. I discovered his work by researching the origin of the much-publicized " Shark attacks helicopter " fake news story image that was created using one of his photographs. [Thumbnail below, click image to see the full-sized image within the WPClipart collection.]
  
  
  
   His website includes examples of both video and still photography. Mr. Maxwell was quite pragmatic when asked about the use of the image in WPClipart, noting that the faked image had brought him a lot of publicity. He even agreed to let us use something else of his in the collection. So below is an image I am sure will be popular:
  
  
  Visit his site for these and many other images, along with very cool anecdotes describing what was going on while he photographed: http://www.underwatervideo.co.za/image-library/pics.asp
  
  

Kathleen Peirce

• She wrote: I recently started a clipart website that is a collection of my vector-based drawings. I provide PDF, WMF and PNG versions of all of the drawings. The drawings on my website are royalty-free, though I do include a Creative Commons 3.0 license -- basically the drawings are free to use and share as long as they stay free to use and share - and any restrictions in the license can be waived by me.
   If you care to include this in your collection, you would have my permission to distribute it as you see fit, with no restrictions. You do not need to directly attribute this drawing to me, but a link to my website would be really nice:

• Kathleen donated the image of George Washington Carver


• . . . and I talked her into letting me use another from her collection, because her use of colors and shading -- while keeping the tonal range one that is both bold and printable -- really impressed me on several of the images she has on her site. She has some truly exceptional images, including the one I asked for:
  
  
  You can view and use the full-sized girl_jumprope.png, now at the top of the recreation section.

Summer Fey Foovay

• She used to have a whole gallery of clip art she created that was donated to the public domain, but sadly, trying to generate any type of income from such PD efforts did not work out for S. F. Foovay.
  
  Her current homepage is: http://summerfeyfoovay.com/
  
  Luckily for us the following was still posted on a squidoo page of hers:
  
  
  

Ian Macky

• PAT Country Maps Script-generated country maps with great detail but of a modest file size. These he contributed to the public domain, and even has them downloadable as a single file.
  
  
  
  His page linked below has the 171 coutries layed out alphabetically, in GIF format, great for use on web or for overheads. The images I edited for WPClipart were just lighted (substituted for most of the black sections) to make them easier to print.

• He wrote: "These are Eastern grey kangaroos that are usually found in or near bushland, not out on the plains."


• Scaled-down reproduction (original was much larger, detailed and atmospheric) is on animals/K/kangaroo and is named "kangaroo_graemes".
