Many people, including myself, have accounts and subscriptions to various stock and clip art resources. These are a valuable source for finding art that you may need and providing it at the click of the button. But sometimes it takes just as long to find just the right one as it would have to create a custom piece of art. Although clip-art is convenient, it may not always be the best choice. Instead of settling for something "close" to what you need, consider a custom illustration. It really does make a difference.
Maybe you're using stock icons for your company's software and it doesn't match or represent your correct image. Maybe you're a sports team and don't want to use the same old "wildcat" image that every other wildcat teams uses. Maybe you want to incorporate a mascot for your ad campaign that showcases your product or logo which can't be found in any clip art. These are examples of when you'll need custom illustration and with the right direction, it can be as quick and as affordable as any clip art site.
