Great day for the openclipart community !
The new openclipart library (release 0.19) is available to download (375MB)
that's about 12,000 high quality scalable vector graphics (SVG) files released into the public domain by over a 1000 artists


it's around 1GB after extraction (including png and svg files) - and the library is sorted by Artist's name - which is cool !

I found on flickr.com a nice set of "mini-me"

Which reminded me of what can be done with the liquid Rescale plugin for Gimp (I'm not saying this set has been made with it - although I would be surprised it has been made with something else ... )



Check the Harry Potter picture below (originally from the polishlinux.org GIMP tricks: Liquid rescaling by example) just to get an idea of what can be done with the LqR plugin. Cool right ?

For the robots lover - Here's a nice website full of them

There's a lot more on the 50 Cute and Adorable Monster Characters Illustration website.
