New Content on Clipart.com Almost 2,800 new images have recently been added to the Clipart.com collection, including photos, photo objects and clipart. First up is a nice selection related to healthcare topics, including medical personnel, patients and medications. Very much related is another set devoted to fitness, both in and outside gym settings, with health-related images extending this to include emphasis on a balanced diet, something of perennial interest. Also noteworthy is a series of photos of a young woman relaxing in the bath, a large group of Winter-themed shots, a significant number of auto mechanic images, shopping photos and a large group of close-ups of men, women, objects and even pets. We've also added hundreds more photo object images to the collection, which now numbers over 5,400. The emphasis in this latest batch is on men and women, often in extreme situations. Shot on white backgrounds, these images are ready to use in a wide variety of publications, web sites or presentations. Of course, we haven't overlooked clip art imagery and the latest additions include patriotic symbols and presidents, holiday themes and some handy general-purpose icons.

Holiday Graphics on Clipart.com  It's surprising just how many holiday and special events days there are. In May, for example, we all know about Mother's Day and Memorial Day, with Cinco De Mayo becoming more popular every year. But did you know that May is also simultaneously Better Sleep, Older American, Candy, Egg and Dairy Month? Or that Pancake Week will soon be here? Looking farther ahead, there's Donut and Wright Brothers Day. In fact, there seems to be a day, month or week for just about everything!
A while back we expanded the Holiday Clipart area to list as many of these as we could find, with links to related images. So now you have no excuse for overlooking the next Polar Bear Day (February 27).

LiquidTreat: Cereal StickersMaybe we've been eating too much Kashi GoLean, but we haven't uncovered a raft of stickers at the bottom of a cereal box for a long time. But we did manage to find a Flickr set that creates a similar prize-induced high without so much sugar. This graphic time machine is packed with more than 200 cereal-related stickers, mostly from the '70s and '80s. There are stick-on graphics for your BMX, "Stay Out" door stickers for your room and familiar faces ranging from Tony the Tiger to Cap'n Crunch... and even fluorescent stickers to make your playground pals jealous.
