  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art ("The Met") has over 375,000 images that are considered 'open access', which means that you can use them for any commercial or non-commercial purpose without attribution or fee. Basically, they can be used for any reason! The hard part is navigating the huge website and trying to find specific images. In this video, I do a walkthrough of the Met Open Access search portal and show off 5 hidden gems that can help spark your searching on the Met! These designs can be great raw fodder for your print-on-demand artwork (Redbubble, Teepublic, Etsy, etc.). It can also be a useful tool if you are creating digital artwork for sale on Etsy or other digital platforms.

  • @benosborne413
    @benosborne413 Před rokem

    Great videos. You are using inkscape, can it be done in Illustrator?

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před rokem +1

      Yes pretty much anything that Inkscape can do, Illustrator can do (they are both vector programs).

    What happens if API access is not at the bottom but it is still says public domain underneath the image. I found the exact image you showed but it doesnt say anything at the bottom API access either.

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před rokem

      If it says public domain, then legally you can do anything with it. The museum can ASK that you ask for permission or give credit, but you don't have to. Public domain means by definition that there are no restrictions.

    I am having a hard time getting my designs that I am using from The Met to look great on Redbubble shirts. The images are a decent size and I send the images to procreate and from there(without changing the size of the image) I add my own artwork, text, and so forth to it. The canvas has a 300 DPI. I can upload and apply my design to most of RB products, but when it comes to the shits, they are pixelated. I’ve even tried resizing the image in Procreate on a canvas that is the exact same of t-shirt dimensions and it actually looks worse. Oh, please help me sort this out.
    Thank you in advance, Stacey

      Hmm that is strange - can you send me a file at zenwatercooler34@gmail.com and I can take a look?

  • @oneworld4018
    @oneworld4018 Před 2 lety

    Great info. Can you sell them on online?

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před 2 lety

      Yes-anything marked "open access" is in the public domain, so you can do whatever you want with them. There are no copyright restrictions.

    6:47 How can we do this on inskape? Like you did, removing background and everything, just the drawing is left..

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před 2 lety +1

      Sure thing, I have a video on how you can trace a bitmap (image) into a black and white vector: czcams.com/video/oWL8Qc7vTbk/video.html

  • @09cutie0pie
    @09cutie0pie Před 8 měsíci

    so you can use the images for free in the US. What about other parts of the world?

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před 8 měsíci

      It's a good question - there is no one defining authority so it can get complicated with some images - but generally speaking, if the image is really old (like medieval times) then it is universally recognized as public domain

    New Met Policy Allows Free Image Download for Non-Commercial Use I just now read this, after I visited the site, have they changed it?

    • @craftystax
      @craftystax  Před 2 lety +1

      I'm not aware of open access being used for non-commercial only (the whole idea of open access is that the images are public domain). Public domain is good for any use (commercial, anything).
