All the art we use for the Art Server Project is understood to be in the public domain and free to reuse. If anyone thinks this not the case please contact us here. The image files come from wonderful sites that believe (as we do) that art should be disseminated as widely as possible. And while the use of their content does not imply direct support for what we’re doing at the Art Server Project, we thank these organizations as we could not do our work without them. Some of these great sites include:
