Hi Meow,

Maybe we could coordinate something to help mutually benefit each
other.

Periodically we dedicate a particular month to some theme - like
Christmas, etc.  We could devote the month of September to "Pet clip
art", particularly focused on providing artwork for animal shelters.
Lots of people love pets so I bet they'd enjoy trying their hand at
drawing their favorite pets.

Along with that, perhaps you could write an article for your newsletter
explaining about openclipart.org and encouraging your readers to
participate in building the collection.  You've probably got more than a
few readers that would love to devote their artistic talents to a good
cause.  :-)

No money needed, just a bit of (enjoyable) sweat equity.  :-)
