FREE 22 Original Stick Figures

Hi Folks -
I've been using more hand-drawn assets in my courses recently.
I decided to try a few of my own. I refer to them only as "stick figures"... "art", I feel, might be misleading.
In any case, this community (and its Staff ) have been so incredibly gracious and generous, that I thought - at the risk of embarrassing myself - that I would post these here in case anyone else might find some rough sketches to be of any use.
If the .zip file doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to re-package them tomorrow.
Best wishes,
Randy

Randy, thanks so much for sharing these!
Awesome!!
These sketches are awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Randy and everyone else - you're awesome!
Randy - thanks so much for such a great resource - they're brilliant!
This shows up as a .tgz file rather than a .zip. How do I open it?
Thanks so much Randy. These are fantastic.
I do a lot of stick people for eLearning as well. Here are a couple of quick tricks you fellow sketchers might like:
1) In PPT, you can put the "Pens" Tool on your UAT toolbar. It makes the same smooth lines as if you're annotating in Slideshow Mode. I can only get this to work in Windows. No luck on my Mac.
2) If you have an iPad, Sketchbook and Sketchbook pro are awesome for drawing and letting you export images. It's so much easier to draw with your finger rather than a mouse. I export them as PSD files for Photoshop. Then cleanup. Then insert wicked sketches into PowerPoint.
Bonus: You can really get creative if you do a screen capture while you draw. Then you have a video scribe on your hands.
Randy - Thank You3
Your sketches are SOOOOOOOOO much better than what I could have done (want to talk about embarrassing!), that was really great of you to share.
Thanks for these, Randy. They are great! I used the head scratch figure in a blog post today: http://forword.co/2013/02/22/422/. Cheers!
Thanks Randy. Here is a story I created using your stick figures.

Hey, Randy: Thanks for the stick figures.
Here's a basic SL presentation I created using them.

Thanks Randy for the stick people and thanks to everyone who took the time to post other useful resources!
Very Cool Thanks!
These are great Randy! Do you have any Terms of Use or are we able to use them in any eLearning we create, including for commercial use?
Love these!!! Unfortunately, even with 7-Zip, I can't figure out how to download them. :(
Teresa: If downloading doesn't work, I can zip them up and send them your way. My email: daniel@brighamcommunications.com
They are pretty cool, and with a little cropping and tweaking can be used in tons of ways.
Hi Mary -
Thank you for asking, but I have no restriction on their use ... except that you have fun using them. As long as you're having fun, I'm happy that they are of use.
Kind regards,
Randy
Thanks so much for these!
Randy - I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for these! I've been using them in a course I'm building and they're so great.
This thread came back from nowhere...
Thanks for the fabulous ART work! I think it is art. If you could see my stick figures, you'd understand. This was a tremendous gift for a quick turnaround project I had to do today.
Thank you so much:)
