Seeking good sources for icons, artwork etc.

Question

Has anyone got a good source for icons that can be used in an application?

I'm thinking of things like pushpins, scope sights, house, car, shop, and other small graphics you might overlay on a map or picture.

Most people just rip them off from the web, but I'm looking for an honest source.

A while ago, I found a website marketplace where you could commission stuff from graphic artists. Does anyone have any links for these? The sort of thing I mean is like this: http://www.graphicster.com/Default.aspx (But those guys haven't got critical mass yet). Or these guys http://www.crowdspring.com/how-it-works/ (but they seem a bit high end)

Thanks for any leads.
