Dan's House CollectionWhen no source information is listed with the images on this site, and the images are not linked to a source, that means that I do not know who the artist or copyright holder is. Usually these are graphics that have appeared on "free clipart sites" and have been widely circulated as free for the taking. However, there is no guarantee that the material is public domain or copyright free. You generally are pretty safe if you use these images on non-commercial sites. If you have a commercial site, your best bet is to use only images that you know who the artist is and have received specific permission to use those images.
