clipartist.net

clipartist.net aggregates, annotates and enhances public domain and creative commons clip art. This is an experiment in developing search for SVG images. commons.wikimedia.org and openclipart.org are great sites but difficult to search. clipartist.net develops python and perl scripts to collect, enhance (e.g. resize, recolor) and annotate (e.g. determine the colors in an SVG image) and add those as meta information for the image. clipartist.net also has python scripts to automatically add posts to a Wordpress database.

This is an ongoing experiment and a sandbox for playing with SVG images. Exactly what clipartist.net does to work with SVG based clip art will depend on what seems dobale and useful. clipartist.net basically tries stuff by writing scripts to play with SVG data and looks to see whether those scripts adds any value to what exists on commons.wikimedia.org and openclipart.org
