For you free image hunters out there...

Hello again from OLLieville. OLLie is out playing in Second Life for the next few weeks, so I’ll be giving you the low down on the latest and the greatest things hitting the online world. My name is OLLiegh. The OLLies, just like you, are hard pressed for money. And, just like you, we love free images! So today I’d like to give you a quick run down of our favorite free image sites. All are royalty free, but always be sure to check each site for any specific guidelines they might have for image use. I always like to include a reference list of where I obtained the various materials used in a project. Happy hunting!
