Welcome to the Stash @ RabbitNET!
sourcy graphics for your virtual home
Terms of Use
Key:
Each asset has one of the following tags:
- Mine means an asset that was made entirely by me, or modified significantly by me. If a source is provided, it links to any assets I used in creation.
- Adopted means an asset that I am redistributing wholecloth from another source.
Rules for ALL assets:
- Do not hotlink anything you find here.
- Do not claim you made anything here yourself.
Rules for my assets:
- You can use them for whatever you want.
- You can modify them in any way.
- Credit is appreciated, but not required!
- Pixel Clique sprites should be redistributed in accordance with the original clique's rules and not used as general website graphics, traced, or modified in any way.
Rules for "adopted" assets:
- Most adopted assets have been recovered from defunct or no-longer-maintained websites/services and are basically abandonware, or they come from a large commercial entity.
- All freeware/linkware graphics re-uploaded here are hosted in accordance with the original creator's rules (I have provided a link back to source, and I do not host works from creators who do not want their work redistributed).
- Please credit the original source, even in cases where the original source is defunct.
Credits
This website only features graphics that I can locate a source for. In some instances, this is because the graphic was created entirely by me. In other instances, I have remixed or sourced assets from elsewhere. In the latter case, I will provide a link to the original source, or a decent re-upload of the source. Please note that some sources are defunct services and therefore may utilise the Wayback Machine.
If you are the original creator of anything hosted here and would like it removed, please contact me at rabbitsocials@gmail.com.
The Purpose of the Stash
The Stash originally began as solely a repository of seamless backgrounds, as I felt the Web was sorely lacking in quality, contemporary collections. This original version of the Stash unfortunately died during the Catastrophic PC Failure of 2025. When remaking my website, I decided to upgrade the Stash to be the home of all of my graphical creations.
The Stash has an emphasis on sourcing because I think that's polite, and also because I find doing deep-dives into where assets come from to be really interesting. This is not intended to shame the numerous unsourced graphic collections that exist already on NeoCities. Many of the sources for the most popular graphics used on the Web now have been so completely lost to time, I do not blame any webmaster for not sourcing fully.
Furthermore, from a more philosophical perspective, I believe the Web has an immense potential for remix and collaboration. An unsourced graphical asset on a homepage can be viewed as something akin to art theft, or it can be viewed as a digital form of collage. That may be a controversial opinion, and I accept that, but the Web's structure stands so fully in antithesis to traditional understandings of copyright and ownership, and I think that can be rather powerful. I strongly recommend the book REMIX by Lawrence Lessig, one of the founders of the Creative Commons, if you'd like to delve deeper into the philosophy of ownership on the Web.
So put simply, I source as fully as I can here because I'm in an easy position to do so. I'm the one ripping or creating these assets, so I know exactly where they came from.
