(From Danielle LaPorte's The FireStarter Sessions)<br /><br />The illustrator who designed the header on my blog had an illustration that I loved--I emailed her and asked if I could use it. We got to emailing back and forth and she volunteered to spruce it up. This is what I ended up with :) She's awesome!<br /><br />http://www.jumpillustration.com/Kari Wolfehttp://www.imperfectclarity.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-80336027723306004332010-07-25T22:55:43.841-04:002010-07-25T22:55:43.841-04:00This was a timely post for me.

Double check all sources, but that goes for everything in life, I guess :)j. m. leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528070273611992249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-47675273341131245742010-07-23T12:18:32.414-04:002010-07-23T12:18:32.414-04:00The Stock Exchange is a great free stock photo web...The Stock Exchange is a great free stock photo website: www.sxc.hu.<br /><br />Also, as a graphic professional who is an aspiring author, I think it'd be a good idea for you power-bloggers to offer a trade. You could offer 1 or more guest post spots on your blog in exchange for a simple header graphic. I'm sure anyone who's trying to be a bigger part of the online writing community would jump at the opportunity.<br /><br />Thanks for the post!Sara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463632021684427524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8503889855562099029.post-26973222956181689442010-07-23T10:44:00.136-04:002010-07-23T10:44:00.136-04:00Great post, Livia.

Your headers are beautiful.

I'd just caution that anyone looking for graphics on deviantArt must realize that every single artist's copyright and permissions vary, and nothing can be assumed 'up for grabs.' <br /><br />Searching in the right categories though, there's a lot of great stock art to work with, and stock artists post clear guidelines in their journals. Also plenty of prospective artists to contact about doing custom work.<br /><br />I look forward to an insightful discussion on adverbs and erectile dysfunction, a problem that truly needs more attention and honest discussion ;)Hayley E.

I usually end up doing my own, but I'm a photographer, so that works in my favor. :)<br /><br />I'm always willing to help you do a blog header with included custom art and design for a small fee or trade for editing or something, if you'd like. I've done some around the blogosphere - Sarah LaPolla from Curtis Brown (http://bigglasscases.blogspot.com/), The Public Query Slushpile (http://openquery.blogspot.com/), I Blame Jane (http://www.belleausten.blogspot.com/) are a few. <br /><br />I'm not a professional or anything, but the offer's extended if you'd like. :) Good luck!Michelle D.
