A really popular style of art features ancient Egyptian images, photos and illustrations. Pharaohs, pyramids and all sorts of strange-looking creatures adorn papyrus and vintage paper designs. Some are color and some are black and white, which gives artists a great resource to find base images to create Egyptian-inspired artwork. These images are great if you are looking for images to use on print on demand sites like Redbubble, Teepublic, Merch by Amazon, etc.
