As you may know, it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which means it’s time to add a healthy dose of “Ahoy”s and “Yaaargh”s to our daily lexicon.

In the spirit of all things pirate and the daily battle to find great (and affordable) clipart, we thought we’d post a link to some of our favorite clipart sources.

So batten down the hatches and hoist the mainsails, here are our five favorite sources for pirate clipart.

1. Openclipart.org – “The Open Clipart Library (OCAL) is the largest collaborative community that creates, shares and remixes clipart. All clipart is released to the public domain and may be used in any project for free with no restrictions.”. Nuff said? Probably the best resource available for public domain clipart (pirate clipart on OCAL)

 

2. CLKER.com – A clipart repository where all the images have been released by their author into the public domain. Similar to OCAL, CLKER offers a few extra choices to round things out. (pirate clipart on CLKER)

 

3. Wikimedia Commons – More for photographs, you can occasionally find something that’s been released into the public domain. (pirate clipart on Wikimedia Commons)

 

4. Clipart.com – With subscriptions starting from $14.95 for a single week (with a 250 image/week limit for downloads), Clipart.com is a fairly priced choice to ensure that there’s a slightly higher level of quality, just make sure to get your money’s worth and download your limit.

5. Microsoft Office – Free is free. Microsoft Office provides free clipart for use in desktop publishing. (pirate clipart on office.microsoft.com)
