Please fave if you find this journal useful

I updated and added new stuff on: March 9th 2014

Hy folks,

before I started doing my own art, I was an avid incredimail email- stationary creator.
(All legal always with freeware, according to terms, with written permission etc)

For that reason I have collected a massive bunch of pages with stockphotos (free for profit reasons)
free & shareware fonts, plugin pages and so on.

I thought that it might be as useful for creating art for some of you.
The quality and resolution of the images varies so check yourself

I met several people who don't know much free stock outside dA..
although dA holds fantastic stock photographers and artists too! one can never have enough choice

Where possible I added a link to their TOU (Terms of use) beside the link to the mainpage

As a disclaimer:
I am not affiliated with one of the pages linked to, nor am I to hold liable for any content there. You visit those sides at your own risks!

If you have any suggestions for freeware please let me know, but make sure, it is real!! freeware.
I won't publish any cracked and illegal stuff here at all!

so here we go:
