Beautiful Free Images & Art Assets

No Rules

"There are a million ways to get things done. A million ways to make things work out" - David Byrne, Talking Heads.

The beauty of art is that it's subjective. There's no definition and there are no rules.
We'll throw a bucket of paint at a photograph if that's what it takes. 

We're artist, designer, producer & curator nomads currently parked up in wonderful Bangkok. We create digital images from scratch using cameras, AI and numerous editing tools to feed your imagination. The devil is in the detail so we're carefully building a significant curated collection of free images and art assets for you to use in your personal and commercial creative projects.

When using AI prompts we avoid terms such as 'In the style of' or 'similar to' etc. as we  seek to create original content only. We also heavily edit every single generated image during post processing to enhance it's unique qualities and artistic aesthetic.

Free download options include low resolution jpg files - Ideal for social networks, websites & blogs and also high resolution png lossless files - also perfect for the above but with that extra professional touch, as sought after by design conscious brands and product creators.

Speaking of which, if you're not already creating products, now's your chance! Think, T shirts, magazines, books, posters, cards, calendars, packaging & album covers, plus customisable online products such as pictures, mugs, coasters, commercial, company & club apparel etc. not to mention presentations, analog and AI video creation, & much more. Grab some images now and get to work!
Note: Image to AI Video is a hugely effective way to create viral videos. Just grab some of our high resolution free images and upload them to an Ai app. such as 'Kling AI'. Add a simple prompt like 'make her smile' or 'turn him into a pumpkin' and you'll see the potential. Trust us, you'll be hooked! 

We love it when you mention or credit us but attribution is absolutely never required or expected. Please feel free to [send a link→] to something you've created with our images/assets - It's good to know what happens to our babies after they've abandoned us for dubious strangers :) Also if there's an Image category or style that you'd like us to include in our galleries, please let us know.

In the meantime, your presence here is very much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by.

Editor's Musings

Recently, while fleshing out this monster with delicious freebies for your good self, I had a flashback to the bad old days when free, or at least affordable images were extremely hard to find. When I fell back to earth I realised they still are, at least for those who haven't stumbled on Art Gratis yet - Said the green eyed monster :) Ok! enough cliches, but you get my drift, oops! sorry, shoot me now, arrgh, stop it!

If you're new here you may feel embarrassed when downloading our free images. Apparently, many of our users switch off their device and go to a dark corner to cry.
At first we thought it was a joy thing, but it appears to be a gut reaction to an overwhelming sense of guilt. Ok, I'm milking it now. Oops! yet another cliche - There's no escape.

By the way, we're looking forward to reading all your cards and well wishes for Art Gratis. We've just arrived at the office and can barely get in the door, thanks to your letters of support for our fledgling enterprise. Wait a minute, wtf, these are all bills!

Anyway, for those of you who've grabbed a free image or two, we understand you may be drowning in that aforementioned guilt, so we've come up with a novel solution to ease your pain. Simply download more! By doing so, you can get to work on those masterpieces floating around that beautiful mind of yours and you will inspire us to expand our galleries with fresh creative roughage for the senses.

See, now you feel all warm and fuzzy :) Ciao for now.
