I started doing this several years ago. These are backgrounds, textures, clip-art, and other things to use in your work.
Then, I decided to buckle down and really make it useful. That means reworking the existing pages to be more cohesive and searchable. I also expanded my collection to have 1,000 of each section. That means, 1,000 pages of cars/trucks/stuff you write graffiti on... 1,000 textures... 1,000 pages of clip-art.
What can you use these for? The cars are set up to be backgrounds for graffiti to be placed on. For instance, I print these out on full-page sticker paper.
(Here's my suggestion for that: https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-E...icker+paper+online+labels,aps,126&sr=8-5&th=1 )
Then, draw away. Same with the textures. Use those as backgrounds.
Print the clip art out, cut it up, and shove it in to pieces. It makes great components to a piece when used as complimentary art.
But it gets better. Now that I am working with digital, I can even better incorporate this stuff. Thanks to Procreate, this stuff makes a fantastic jumping off point for so much. For instance, there is a section in "Cuts" called "Splatters." Some of these make good brushes. Others are good to drop into lines or fills and make them the same color.
Even if you don't do graffiti art, there is so much here to work with.
I am sorry that some of the images (although not many) are noticeably upscaled. I tend to care more about image's potential, although I focused on larger resolution if I could find it.
I'll be honest. Nearly all of this is stolen, with few exceptions. Also, while I made a real, concerted effort to remove duplicate stuff, I have no doubt there are doubles or triples of stuff. There's just too much here and I spent YEARS making this collection. I'm just one guy.
I included .zip files of each of the three folders if you want to download the lot of each, but you can also get the pages as individual files.
Enough talk. Here's the collection.
