Sketchory: 250,000 CC-licensed sketches

Philipp Lenssen sez, "Today we open our new site which features over 250,000 drawings for sharing, remixing and more! You can also embed an animation of every image as it's being drawn. The Creative Commons license also includes certain forms of commercial sharing, e.g. if you'd want to sell a book with cartoons from Sketchory (for up to 1000 sketches). Also, we hope that everyone can help tagging the pictures so that the exploration features and search will improve over time."

Sketchory (Thanks, Philipp!)

Going visiting right now. I'm always looking for artwork to use and this looks like a bookmarkable site! Thanks for sharing it...

What's the over-under on how many Liger sketches we'll find there?

A great idea so long as craftsmanship is not an issue.

Wow, where do 250,000 drawings like this come from?!

At least one of those is somebody's sketch of John Jude Palencar's cover to Eragon.
