Whether it’s election season or not, something always starts to paint up the backs of cars. Everybody jumps their station wagon onto the bandwagon and slaps on the sticker. You get “vote this” and “vote that,” “my kid graduated from here” or “there,” “honors student” howdy-doody up-the-wall and “I eat vegan.” But do you ever wonder where those started? Certainly they start with some sort of designer—but have you ever thought that free clipart might help fuel the fire of bumper sticker fun?
You’ve seen the same car that we have. It’s probably a VW van, though it might be a four-wheel-drive, and the whole rear of the car is plastered with Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, Chimney Rock, and countless other tourist sites. Photos don’t translate well to bumpers, so what’s the graphic? It’s clipart. Whether the sticker came free in the mail (or free with the stay at the motel) or cost a buck or two at the gift shop, the sticker’s stuck and, at least for the person copyrighting the clip art, it was free clip art to use as pleased. To produce and stick on bumpers. And trunks. And rear windows. And side panels.
It’s your turn to jump onto the bandwagon. Rather than waiting until your retired years to cruise across the country and accumulate stickers of your own, you can start now. Whether the bumper stickers stick on your car or another, starting off with free clip art lets you make a design that sells or, at the very least, has a lot of fun. Some people put bumper stickers on notebooks. Some put them on mailboxes (that’s a little silly in a nice development, though. That’s when you need a space-ship-shaped mailbox, or one like a cow). Stickers can be stuck anyplace and free graphics let you decide what to stick where. Run off just one or two, or start your own bumper sticker empire. It all starts with free clipart.
And here’s the thing about free clipart—it sticks just as much as the sticker! Clip art has stuck so integrally into society that entire libraries, millions of images large, have sprung up online, dedicated to the spread of uncopyrighted free clipart. The Internet needs images to make it work; clip art makes those images that it needs. Small sites, big sites, toolbars, search options—any and all of these can help in a search for your needed piece of clipart. Most comes at no cost, but even if you have to shell out a little cash instead of going for the free graphics, you can still have some fun. And once you start, you’ll be stuck just like that sticker. So even if it isn’t election season, start sticking. Free clipart will make the paint job work.
