Monday's Muse - Free Use Images


I love free stuff! Especially images. Sometimes having that little jump-start can make all the difference between making a new piece & slacking off. Couldn't sleep in the wee hours today & in a bit of a dark mood, so I popped over to Outsider-artists.net. A great site, it features the work of some of my favorite artists & much has a lightly-dark edge (I'm such an oxymoron - ha). I "met" some of these creative ladies online last year through zne & have the good fortune to own a few pieces (for daily inspiration).

They also have a page of vintage images for anyone to use here. As well as a visitors' gallery page to display your creations that they've inspired. So, I found a lovely vintage lady & twisted her to suit my dark needs....muhahaha....
The Priestess ACEO is in my etsy shop .

Continuing on the theme of free images, I received a message from the talented artist Barbara Moustafa (also 1st encountered thru zne). She transformed the watches I posted last week into the wonderful digital collage Time Fractured. You can view it in her deviantART gallery here. Enjoy more of Barbara's art at her blog & etsy shop. She also has pieces on the Outsider-Artists visitor gallery.

And here is my image to share with all who want it. An old London postcard from my collection:
Hope you find your muse today!

  6. I love those vintage images! How nice of you to link them.
    I know what you mean about a simple image. Just one image can send me on a creative binge.
    Lovely.

  8. Thank you Stacey for the wonderful post card. I went to the Outsiders site when I learned about it from your blog and loved the wonderful pictures they had posted.
    I also used several of them to use in my art but I didn't know they had a place for you to post the pics you used from then, so thanks again for letting us know. I'll be sure to post mine before I go into surgery on Thrusday. Be Well
    Hugs
