I know that it would not be a sure fire result but to be honest I would prefer anything above an empty screen
Neither Google nor Flickr have an API for image search. If you want to search those sites manually and download the images, that would certainly work. As to something versus nothing, I think it's much better to return actual images of the artist than random images that might be the artist.
I think that both have that.
Custom Search JSON/Atom API
The JSON/Atom Custom Search API lets you develop websites and applications to retrieve and display search results from Google Custom Search programmatically. With this API, you can use RESTful requests to get either web search or image search results in JSON or Atom format.
flickr.photos.search
Return a list of photos matching some criteria. Only photos visible to the calling user will be returned. To return private or semi-private photos, the caller must be authenticated with 'read' permissions, and have permission to view the photos. Unauthenticated calls will only return public photos.
