What does every artist need to make art? Free images! Of course it’s more fun to go out and fin your own from antique stores and garage sales. But let’s be honest: The sellers are catching on to our need for nice vintage photos and they’ve jacked up the prices! Five dollars for a photo from the 50′s? Good Lord, that’s alotta money! So here are some links to good, and even some high-quality digital vintage photos that are free for you to use.
