Hello from an artist refugee

Well, I've just deleted my two little-used LJ accounts, left the main one intact but completely f-locked, cancelled my auto-renewal, and taken every possible bit of personal information out of my profile.

So, by the warm glow of my burning bridges, I want to search out some communities for artists over here. I like to post images and I need to know what's a safe host to use, since currently I can't upload to DW from my desktop (and yes, I know they're working on that, and it makes me happy).

I've just learned that my Photobucket account is infested with Facebugs and will probably need to be ditched, so.  Anyone got some suggestions for safer options?

Facebook and photobucket are kinda connected, but I don't think it's that bad. I'm not sure though. You can share an image using facebook, twitter, myspace or even a messenger, but you have to log into facebook on there. Actually, apparently I'm logged in on facebook and the accounts are connected. <.< That's upsetting.... But it doesn't auto update my facebook. I stay off facebook a lot....
That said, if you find any good artist communities, let me know. This one looks promising, but I'm not joining until the entire aftermath clears on Tuesday: http://art.dreamwidth.org/
If all else fails, and Lj turns out to go the direction we're thinking it's going, it might be a cool idea to create an artist community. o.o You have a lot of artist friends and it'd be nice to make our own little niche. If not, that's fine.

I think Tinypic is actually really nice too.
