Creative Commons resources

What is Creative Commons? Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that enables the sharing and use of creativity and knowledge through free legal tools. Their free, easy-to-use copyright licensesprovide artists a simple, standardized way to give the public permission to share and use their creative work — on conditions of their choice. Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to copyright.They work alongside copyright.

Be sure to check usage of each resource on these sites – there are varying degrees of permission depending on how one plans to use the artwork.
