Build a Brand Illustration System from 135K CC0 Museum Artworks, Under $1 Each
round · x · 2026-10-28
PaulJun shared a tool he's building: take a CC0-licensed art style from open museum collections and use it as the basis for a brand's illustration style system. You can edit textures, colors and more; all SVGs and artworks are layered in Figma and also available as code for animation. Each illustration currently costs under $1, and he's pushing it to adapt styles or remix elements into new, surprising artworks.
The underlying site, 10M, aggregates 135,000+ artworks from 22 institutions including the Met, Rijksmuseum, Art Institute of Chicago, Getty, National Gallery of Art and Smithsonian. 130,000+ works are open for download and reuse, searchable by color, mood, era, medium, or artist.
