Today I want to share some of my secret places that I use for finding commercial assets for my artwork and marketing!

Why I Am Writing This Post
I have been doing artwork for my Etsy Store for a bit now and freebies for my Artsy Fartsy site for years at this point and I have found some really cool resources that are available to use commercially!
This came as huge shock to me because I had been using stock photo sites for years and had spent SO MUCH TIME trying to figure out whether I was allowed to use an image or photo for commercial use, how many units I could make and so much more!
Most of the sites that I am recommending today have either full commercial license or a split license for all commercial use and then POD (Print On Demand).
I hope that I can save you some time by making this list and giving you a ton of great resources with my thoughts about them!
5 Places To Get Commercial License Art
You are going to be SOOOO excited when you see all the different places you can get art and fonts for your biz! These are in "sorta" order of how I use them!
Creative Fabrica
I use Creative Fabrica almost every day at this point! Whether I am grabbing an image to use in marketing or a font to use for my designs, they have almost EVERYTHING you might ever need and a monthly subscription model that is truly affordable!
DO NOT pay $400 a year or so, wait until they send you the offer for about $4 a month and jump on that right away!
They have photos, fonts, illustrations and more! They do offer free products often and you can build up your library for free if need be!
Creative Market
Creative Market is a higher end version of Creative Fabrica with less content but a more curated set of offerings. They have tiers of licensing that include personal and commercial, but are still really affordable to use!
I have bought most of my products from Creative Market without doing a monthly subscription, but they do have one now I think.
My process to find things for "fluffy" stuff is check Creative Fabrica first and then go to Creative Market to fill in things I need after.
They do send out freebies weekly to build up your library!
Kittl
Kittl is unique among the ones that we have talked about so far because it is a design platform that has a LOT of assets included in it!
It functions much like an improved Canva because it has commercial license use without having to figure out what is and is not allowed!
They have great templates, fonts and elements to use in your marketing or artwork!
Century Library
I have been following this guy named Tom Chalky from England for a while now and he started doing scans and downloads of vintage images from overseas.
He started a monthly subscription for $10-ish a month in his Century Library and that was a number I could get behind to support a new creator!
He has some really unique images that I have not found anywhere else!
Inky Deals
Inky Deals is a newer one to me! It has a lot of different bundles to buy with curated images that match a theme.
My first impression is that this is comparable to Creative Market in the quality of the offerings and has wide range of products across the spectrum!
