You're prob'ly right about this. But it's a good idea, at least while we
gather the materials...

Perhaps we should create "pavilions" using surreal themes, ie. "Pavilion of
Forgotten Odors" or "Pavilion of Erotic Misery" etc?

The individual image maps (I doubt) would most likely be in the area of 100k
each, so we're not really talking about much disk space for these; it's the
artworks themselves that'll be taking up the most space, escecially when the
number gets about 100, even if each is only around 100k. (This equals about
10 meg without any text or anything else.) 

Just how many pictures/artists are we talking about?
