Can someone help me out here?

I know where to go for Fonts.
I know where to go for stocks (Well w/bugmenot ftw :<)

But I have no idea where to go for like... I want to say icons, but not really. Such as, for example, I am looking for a few icons to use on a new site design, particularly I want a cartoony (Somewhat) version of a guitar -- with perhaps a musical note near it. I would also like to get a couple of other types of graphics to use here.

The only problem is, after googling for about an hour or so, I am at a loss.

I don't want computer icons or thier crappiness. I don't need high quality XP-style icons for a computer, and I've tried clipart stuff, but almost all of those are completely useless.

I've even gone to flashkit, but for some reason it seems like they've totally sold out -- and thier site is really hard to navigate or understand.

So can anyone help?

Mostly I just want some nifty little icons to stick near some button text (ie: "Gigs" with a guitar thingy next to it, "Bio" with a little notebook paper icon thingy next to it, etc...).

I mean, is there no place to find stuff like this? Do you just jump into google's image search and search forever?

Thanks =/

Why not just take the clipart that you've found and reduce the size?
Perhaps I don't understand what you're trying for.

I want something that isn't exactly as wierd looking as Microsofts clipart, like, I was just wondering if someone had a good place to get such smaller graphics.

Clipart isn't all its cracked up to be anyways, I want something that actually looks good -- not like it was done by a 2 year old, or created in paint.

Oh well. I did find a guitar thingy though.

look on the web for something like free clipart

and if youre feeling creative, try microangelo, its a program that creates little icons, its very powerful but its limited time trial

Nevermind, decided to scrap that idea and go with something else =/
