Using Flickr as a portfolio option

I'm constantly delighted by the ways people are managing to showcase their work online for little to no expense. Take Artist Ken Steacy, who is using Flickr as a portfolio site. And why not? He's making Flickr's pleasant and streamlined interface work in his favor, and he's smartly kept his account strictly professional (no personal snaps). These days an online presence is essential—gallery sites like Flickr provide an easy and (more than) affordable option (while you're still planning out that oh-so-amazing Flash portfolio site and trying to talk your tech friends into building it for free).
