Flickr used to focus exclusively on photos, and even had a policy early on making non-photographic content unsearchable.

Flickr has since acknowledged the popularity of its service with illustrators, however, and recently introduced filters instead; users can mark their content type as non- photographic images.

This change will also make it easier for potential clients to come across an illustrator’s work. The cartoon above was one of my early cartoon sales; a publications company found it via Flickr.
