Young Mom Pushing Buggy (Clip Art)

Young Mom Pushing Buggy. Sepia pen sketch of a young mom pushing a baby buggy. The girl is wearing blue jeans. Cute, funky style. Bob or mod hairstyle. The version on the left has been altered in Photoshop, using quick fix. The version below is closer to my original art. The sketch is on cream-colored paper. It has been altered in Photoshop, but only to remove spots and possibly sharpen or clean up the background.

The cream-colored version, below, is closer to the original. Cream is the natural color of the paper. That version has had only minor corrections, such as spot removal. You may use either one.

By placing the art on this public-domain blog, I hearby release it to the public. You may download, alter, recycle, publish, or print it in any way that you like.


Woman Spanking Boy Clip Art

IWoman Spanking Boy. My illustration of a woman spanking a boy is done in sepia pen on cream-colored paper. The sketch is in an antique style, as intended. The clothing is similar to Victorian fashion. The version to the left has been altered in Photoshop by using the quick-fix tool and choosing 'auto levels.' This had the effect of removing some of the yellow from the background. It also caused (by accident) a speckling appearance, which is pleasing and makes the drawing look more antique. The version below is very close to the original drawing. The only corrections to it are minor ones ~ some spot removal and perhaps some sharpening.

 
This artwork is hereby placed in the public domain. You may download, alter, recycle, publish, or post it in any way that you like. (I flipped the drawing horizontally when I first published it, and you may want to try that. I thought it looked a little more balanced that way).

Clip Art of Housewife (Public Domain)


Housewife. Vintage, antique look. Slightly frazzled hair. Sepia pen on cream-colored paper. Both illustrations have been altered using Photoshop. The one below had simple corrections/spot removal in the background and possible sharpening. It is very little changed from the original sketch. The one on the left has been brightened and sharpened using the quick-fix tool, selecting "auto levels."

You are free to use, alter, post, or publish this artwork in any way that you choose. I have placed it in the public domain.

1900s Girl







Simple artwork of a 1900s girl (girl of the 1900s era). She is generic, so could pass for other eras. Looks poor, sad, thoughtful, or determined. Quick sketch, sepia pen on cream background. Two versions available. Both were altered in Photoshop: the first, for spot repair, sharpening; and the second, through an automatic process called 'high pass' (I'm not sure of the function of that tool, but the gray picture is the result of using it). My original illustration is tiny (about 2 x 2 inches) and will not enlarge well. Spot illustration, clip art.

Comic Girl Redhead Art - Larger Version

This is a larger version of the comic girl redhead (originally now dedicated for use in the public domain by the artist). Click on the photo to see the whole picture. Feel free to clean up the shadows, alter it, or use it in any way; but if altering it drastically, other than just cleanup and removal of shadows, please remove my signature from it. If this version is not large enough, please find the same art in Flickr: Full-Sized Art on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/southernmuse/35552222655/in/dateposted-ff/
