yes you can search on google, (not on google images)
example: search "free soccerball graphic art" or something like that and find a link that says something similar to that and read about it, there are many sites out there that offer free art.
and if you dont want free art or paid art then make it yourself, check out this link it has great tutorials:

@Justin007h If you use free images, just be mindful to read the general terms and conditions thoroughly and also the specific license terms for the individual image

You may find that you need to provide a credit mention somewhere or you may not be able to use them for commercial purposes. Also, I think most if not all free image providers won't allow them to be used as part of logos or trademarks. Do lots of research before using to avoid that lawsuit.

I used to source free buttons but now I've changed that and have designed my own after months of practice using image software...

Read that: months of practice... That's why it's not free

There's a free section at http://www.graphic-buffet.com/freebies which will get you started...

More will be added very soon.

what could also help is to find someone who is willing do to a revene share, so you will give him 3 to 5% of your app revenues.

Also check out fiverr.com. There is a lot you can get for just 5 US dollar.

What!? 3%-5% rev share for doing the 40% - 50% of the work on a game is an insult.

Wait a minute you think your silly little art skills that you have spent insane amounts of time honing into something worthwhile is actually worth more than 5¢ per app sold. Thats just crazy talk right there I tell ya
