You know, Melvin, I may be crazy, but I DO see textures as art. Sometimes you can only appreciate the fine workmanship in them by looking at them flat, just the way they come out of the expander. I have even BOUGHT textures with no plan to use them in renders. A good example of a texture as art would be the few textures that the very talented Desdemona was able to launch here earlier this year. You did not have to render with them. Just the maps themselves were art. I'll go over and look at the texture you posted in your gallery now :)
