I compiled a list of places to get free backgrounds and stock imagery today for one of my clients. I have a few places that I favor, but a ton that I bookmarked and forgot about… So I’m cleaning out the closet. I am providing everyone with my favorite resources for cool free images and stuff of that nature.

You say, “But Jake, I’m not a designer, what do I need this crap for?”… And then I say “The background database is cool for skinning your myspace or facebook. The rest of the images could be wallpapers or superior clip art for presentations to make Powerpoint a little less BORING! Or other stuff as well. Trip over a few links and see where the inspiration takes you. I wouldn’t steer you WRONG!

Buckle your safety belt… The links come after the break!

Okay, so the pixel pattern site featured in the pic of my baby pup Josie can be found here:

Kaliber 1000

Here is an awesome place for textures and the like:

All Hail The King

Free Vector Art Here Ma’am:

Vecteezy: Self Admittedly Stupid

Ka-Pow… Choke on these free Icons - A list of 50 resources don’t ya know and an all around AMAZING site that needs updated more often! Keep the posts comin’… I love it!

And just for good measure, a whole bunch of other junk… This web site is really keen as well!

That’s it. I hope that you enjoyed my list of free stock images as little as I did writing it!
