Another quality clip art collections from LPJ Design. As I've said before, it is hard to go wrong with the art of Storn Cook, and the $10 price tag makes it entry price for someone who may not otherwise be able to afford full-color art from this artist. The pictures in this collection would be good for use as cover elements, or even character illustrations.

The Image Portfolio series is a very solid resource for high quality "stock" art that individuals are licensed to use in their own (self/small press-published) products for free. Not a bad deal for $10. The main trouble I find with this is that the print resolution available is going to limit a lot of the detail in Storn Cooks' beautiful artwork. The 300 dpi print size is approximately 2" x 2.5", which should be a reasonably sized spot illstration for a 5.5" x 8.5" page layout (as one might expect self/small-press publishers to use), but definitely still on the small side. I'm also surprised that the document is password protected and cannot be imported directly into layout applications, which seems antithetical to the intended usability. I would have expected that the included license language reasonably covers the legal rights granted and retained by the seller. All in all, I'm satisfied with the quality of the artwork and the license agreements of this package, but not the hindrances to its intended use.
