I often get inquiries -- "Can I buy the entire set of orange men for a reduced price?" For perhaps over a year this little known opportunity has  existed on the rare gem of a website known as "Clipartof.com".

See this link

A little factoid concerning clipartof.com: The Orange Man practically lives there. I like to think of all of the websites I supply my art through as cities that I visit as a traveling merchant. Examples to follow:

Istockphoto is like that bustling super-metropolis filled with art and talent of every sort, fully populated with coffee shops where people exchange ideas and vision together. Its a supercity that is sparkling and refined.

Shutterstock strikes me as a more industrial city with merchants hurriedly running in and out, with their product selling faster than it can be stocked. Its a little more unrefined, but useful to those who have more creative ability.

Dreamstime and Crestock are somewhat like those medium sized towns with their own set of strengths.

Clipartof.com, though, is far different. Its like a small private town, almost a gated community. Only a few artists in comparison are found here, but the selection is the cream of the crop as far as illustrations available. Its more family oriented, and there is not even the slightest hint of beaurocracy. One might think it was a private club secretly opened to the public -- the best of both worlds! Any artwork bought from clipartof.com also has a much wider ability for use due to the user license agreement. 

This is where the orange man has truly blossomed and discovered himself, and where the best deals can be found in his use! Most sites have one or two color versions of the design mascot (also known as orange man), but Clipartof.com has 11 color versions! Clipartof.com is also the only site that sells them in bulk packages for a reduced rate. For those of you who have taken a liking to the orange man, its highly, highly suggested that you see both the package deals as well as the color versions.

Feel free to contact them with questions. They will treat you like family.

My biggest personal discovery as a "designer" (I try not to use this term too much) is that there life outside of orange. This has altered my entire world, considering I was born only being able to see the "orange" part of the color spectrum. Now that I'm healed and can see more of the world (admittedly I have used some blues) in all of its wonderful colors, I've now taken all of those little orange men and adapted most of them to other color horizons...like blue...green...yellow...coffee.....

Here's some examples:

For a quick preview of these, check out my flickr sets. There are about 150 of them available as previews.

www.Clipartof.com has the greatest selection of these alternate colors. See here: http://www.clipartof.com/portfolio/leoblanchette

(If you check my other sites such as Istock or Crestock you will mostly see just orange men).  My hope is that these added colors will open up new design possibilities -- or at least just add convenience!
