Why the Clipart Business Is Flirting With Disaster

Clipart

 The great thing about the clipart industry, and the greatest thing about the clipart business, is that there is a big demand for it. Clipart is ubiquitous because of the ease with which anyone with a scanner can create artwork. The problem is, though, with all the demand, there is also a great demand for clipart art to be sold. It’s a simple supply and demand situation.

This is one of the challenges of the clipart business. Like any other sector of the market, the demand for clipart is always going to be high because of the demand from people who are looking for art. This demand will always be there because it is the perfect way to sell art. But the supply of clipart art is always going to be low because of the need for the supply of clipart art.


I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that there are no clipart artists who want to sell their art.


There are. But there are also some that don't want to sell at all because they don't want to sell anything. Some may be on the other side of this equation, but I'm going to tell you that there are a huge number of talented cartoonists who would love to sell their work and have it get passed on to the next generation.


In the early 2000s, there was a small crop of cartoonists who just wanted to be a cartoonist but couldn't draw well. These guys would do simple drawings of cats or dogs that they could draw on.

This was the era of the internet and sketching.


It was the age of the clipart, and not just because a bunch of sketchy kids would put up some cute doodles of cats. A lot of the most talented cartoonists had never even seen a computer before.


Yes, even back then you would have to have a computer in order to create a clipart. You could even go to a cafe or a coffee shop and just draw on a napkin or a paper napkin. Because now we can just download these cute drawings of cats or dogs onto our computers and they will look like they are drawn on paper by a real cartoonist.


It is not until the late 1990s that we see clipart being used in print.

It's amazing what a few years can do. Back in the 1990s, there were few if any clipart programs are available and for the most part, they were created by artists for artists. And because of that, I believe that clipart programs were actually being used more as a cheap way to create artwork for other artists. Today, though, there are thousands of clipart programs available and they are all created by the same people.


The reason I bring this up is that I think that clipart programs are still being used to create artwork with clipart programs. We haven’t seen any clipart programs released as part of the official website, but I have heard about designers creating their own custom clipart programs for certain programs or clients. I’ve even seen clips created by artists that are not available in the official Clipart program. It’s fascinating to me to see the industry working together.
