BigStockPhoto was founded in Davis, California, in the fall of 2004 and quickly grew into one of the Web's leading royalty-free stock image communities.

About Stockfuel
StockFuel is a company created by creative individuals involved in web design, motion, videography and audio production. StockFuel is a stock site for all creatives to find professional, affordable stock for their projects.

As a user of other creative stock sites, we noticed that, although containing some great work, the sites were often cluttered with sub standard products or many products that were very similar to each other. From this, we decided to create the stockfuel.com site to accomodate only top quality, original products.

StockFuel has the ambition to become the most used and respected creative stock site online. We look to do this by reviewing every product that is uploaded to our system and sticking to a rigorous screening system. If the product is not to our high standards or we already have similar products online, it wont be added... even if this means having a smaller amount of products than our competitors. Some sites pride themselves on having milllions of files, we pride ourselves on having quality files, regardless of the number.

For the team here at StockFuel, alot of our creativity and inspiration comes from the world we live in. We travel to many parts of the world looking for the perfect video, image or sound.

About ClipartOf
ClipartOf is a stock image library offering royalty-free (rf) stock illustrations and clipart from professional illustrators and cartoonists around the world. All of our images are available as posters and art prints as well as digital downloads. Digital files are available to download immediately after purchasing. We also offer free image hosting, and clipart illustration collections.

A unique thing about ClipartOf.com is that we have ONE simple license. Yes, that's correct, ONE End User License Agreement. Without tricky "extended" or special licenses, we make your job easier! You can pretty much use our images for anything as long as you are not distributing them, giving them away for free or for charge (like what we do), using them for logo/design competitions to win money, offering them on on-demand product sites, or trademarking or copyrighting them. Other sites have so many different licenses and rules. We have ONE license and one set of rules.

After years of witnessing artists being bullied by agencies, and at the begging of artists themselves, we decided to start a business that's ABOUT supporting the artists, not about making a quick buck at the artist's expense. We aren't about lowballing our artists and paying them a measly half a cent for each download, outsourcing jobs to save money, degrading artists by treating them like they are vermin. We are here because the artists ASKED us to be, and we take this very seriously. We let the artist pick their own pricing so they make what they need to, rather than TELL them what they will make, such as other sites do.

Unlike many of our competitors, you will also notice that we provide credit to our artists, rather than to make it look like we own all of the images ourselves. This industry has been taken over by greed, theft and immoral business practices. We stand out because we run ClipartOf quite differently. Take a stand with us! Help support our artists and a moral business.

At ClipartOf.com you are getting images direct from the artists and helping support an industry of pure talent.
