I just posted a blog post about book cover art being used for multiple books, and the question came up about where professional artist get their stock art. Does anyone know? Is there one main site where most of the professional designers go to get pictures? I know there are hundreds of sites, but I was wondering if there was one in particular that is used more than others. It would be interesting if I could track down a couple of the original stock images.
Also, does anyone know if it's more likely that an artist would use the same image for multiple book covers, or if two different designers would just happen to use the same picture?
When I was gathering some images for my blog post, I was kind of surprised at how many I found. I spent about a hour looking and posted about 10% of the ones I found.
It's got me curious so I thought I'd post the question here.
