Are you a teacher? Do you create newsletters? Are you planning a poster, TeeShirt, invitation?
My friend Mark Hicks has a new blog that is informative, fun and full of whimsical and inventive illustrations, projects, books and more.
His suggestions for using clip art wisely and his links to sites where you can find just the right blend can be found on his blog at Planet MARKIX

Yesterday I was making a flyer at work and wanted some clip art images of families. Mindful that there are many different kinds of families, I went looking for a little diversity—namely, racial and gender diversity—in the Microsoft Office clip art.
In my search, I was pleasantly surprised to find that MS has included several images of families with same-gender parents (search "gay families"). There are only eight among hundreds, but I bet that's eight more than there were ten years ago.
Diversity is still lagging on other dimensions, however. It's hard to find images of obviously multiracial families. I found a small handful, but there isn't a catalog heading for them, making it difficult to find them. All-white families dominate, followed by all-black families. There's a small number of obviously East Asian-featured families but pretty much zip in terms of obviously South Asian, Hispanic, or other "brown" ethnicities (though if you search for Muslim families, you'll find a few in traditional dress).
OK, Microsoft, you're on your way, but you're not there yet. Get to it!

Ginger thanks for the link. My sister etta is a grade school teacher and the info will really help her and of course, myself, too.
