Mindscape In Cyberspace

Flickr is one of the most popular on-line platform to showcase and share your images with millions of users from various corners of the world. Though, primarily Flickr is meant for sharing Photographs (and now video, too), however many artists, painters, calligraphists, print makers, and designers share their artworks, illustrations, paintings and other non-photographic images on Flickr. If you visit specific groups dedicated to non-photographic visual art, like paintings, graphics, digital art, illustrations, you will find thousands of artists showcasing their artworks and providing an amazing spectrum of visual culture, across the globe.

Here is a list of 20 Flickr groups dedicated mainly to non-photographic art, which I find very interesting:

My Flickr Fave Collection »

I have been visiting Flickr.com for quite some time, and it became one of my favorite online communities that are meant for visual artists and photographers. I often use this site for networking with friends and other artists from various corners of the world. The amazing collection of photos, artworks, graphics, paintings, sketches, drawings, illustrations, and collages by various artists on this site, has always fascinated me a lot. I have found many images that I’ve drawn my inspiration from; met many people who influenced my visuals; joined great groups to share my works with other like-minded artists; and created my own Flickr collection with my favorite Flickr images. I thought it’d be a great idea to share my Flickr collection to others.
