I think I see your point, we very often tend to focus on images which 
look cool instead of images which are good as clipart, as the purpose of 
clipart is not to look good by itself, but to be an useful building 
block for larger works.

But in the end, I see no harm in (ab)using OCAL like a completely free 
deviantArt clone or such.
