They look pretty good. Can be useful for gravatar like usecases. Good work!
I do like the output that these generate. Although I feel generating is the wrong word, as these are processed from original images on Flickr.
At a glance it probably wouldn't be too hard to actually procedurally generate them from a PRNG-based algorithm (which then lets you seed the exact icon.) These vaguely resemble the oldschool demoscene flame effects.
By the MAFIAA logick, wouldn't this count as derivative work of those copyrighted photographs?
