Best sources for graphical assets for the hobbyist programmer?

This should be closed as an exact duplicate of this quesion.

For those of us who develop software or websites in our spare time with little or no budget, what are your best resources for icons and other graphics?

Do you have good sources that have free or Creative Commons licenses? Or do you create your own?

The Smashing Magazine has a lot of references to free icon sets and such, this is even a dedicated category: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/category/freebies/
