I know that Paizo did this with the Dungeon magazine -- they made the artwork available online, which was fantastic because I could easily print things off for the PCs, or even just show them pictures from my laptop.
I am about to embark on the Rise of the Runelords adventure path, and I was hoping to find the artwork from the books online somewhere. Does it exist? If so, can someone help me find it? Thanks!
It does not. At least, not in an official form like back in the day-o-day. Our production schedules with Pathfinder, Pathfinder Companions, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Scenarios, Pathfinder Modules, the Pathfinder RPG, and Planet Stories is a significantly more wearing workload than back when we were just doing Dragon and Dungeon, so a free extra like this that still requires a significant amount of a designer's time to put together just isn't feasible right now. It's still something we've talked about doing in the future, but there's no solid plans. For now, the closest things are the illustrations available as part of the Pathfinder Community Use Package. The Pathfinder Wiki also has a ton of collected art for our past few years of blogs. So there's still a great deal of free and useful art out there. Hope all that helps!

Aside from the art we periodically post to our blog, we do not generally put our artwork online. Unlike the case with Dungeon, we can put PDFs of our products up the same day they release; for Dungeon, we couldn't put up a PDF until a certain amount of time had passed, per our license with WotC. Putting up the art and maps for Dungeon was a workaround for that problem.
Now that we can put up PDFs at the same time, though, we no longer do the art/map supplements. That does mean that you need to buy the PDFs to get versions of the art and maps to print out, but that's also why, if you subscribe, we give you the PDFs for free.

~innocent look~ Well, if you and James are REALLY bored, you COULD go to the Paizo Chat Site.
By the way, welcome to the boards vocaldc!
Thank you very much! I must say, I'm impressed with the quick responses!
And some of the artists that Paizo works with will occasionally post up some of the artwork they've done in their own website's art gallery or on their LJ, etc.
Sarah Stone puts up some of her work, and so do Julie Dillon, Ralph Horseley, and Wayne Reynolds.

if you Deviant art for paizo you'll find some official, and some non-official art from the artists themselves
While you guys were discussing pretty pictures, I was out actually playing that game we're talking about.
Giant wizards with expensive equipment shouldn't be allowed to flee. Make sure that goes into the PF rules.
And allow me to use this opportunity to remind you that we still expect to see an Art Database some day.
