Where to Announce Free Graphic Art?
BrynM asks: "I have a good portion of my deceased father's artwork scanned and up on a personal website (294 images with everything from sketches to finished work). I have been adding more in batches and should end up with around 1,000 images when done. My sister and I have released the art under the Free Media License, which is much like a GPL for art. We have also set a date on paper that the art falls into the public domain regardless of what laws may change in between (avoiding the eternal copyright stuff). My hope is that people will utilize the art, since the only gain I desire is to share the pride in the work my father did. Where can I announce that the site is open to the graphics and stock art geeks out there? Since the server can't take a full slashdotting (DSL), that's out. Are there any sites that specialize in public domain or commons type art sites without having to submit every piece to an unknown body?"
The Internet Archive seems to dig on this kind of thing. They put up the Prelinger archive when Rick Prelinger put it into the public domain, and they do a lot more than the Wayback Machine.
Why can't I moderate something "Wrong" or at least "Grossly Misinformed"?
If you are so concerned about the potential bandwidth impact from such a posting that you omit a link to the site in question from your post, also remember to use an email account in your slashdot user profile that is in a different domain than the site you don't want slashdotted. Not being malicious, but we are a curious (and clever) bunch...
