I found a site that provides images for children to color, free
for educators to use. As luck would have it, those same images work well in zines and other self published documents. Check
it out for yourself. I have not found a copyright statement anywhere on the sight, nor artists credits. It appears that the
images could be considered clip-art and usable as such. Check it out yourself http://www.coloring.ws/coloring.html that'll get you there. Consider the samples in this zine as part of a review. See also http://www.artrenewal.org/ Real art you can right click and save.
