No, I think Veronica's perfectly right. 
I doubt that he'll get many artists to spend their time uploading
their pictures. What for? 

There are a lot of collections already, eg the huge
 _catagorical_ collection by Paul Norgaard 
http://www.duc.auburn.edu/~norgapd/

And I simply don't like the word 'database'. I'd prefer a gallery
anytime. From my experience I can say that via Allan Mullan's link list
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2695/links.htm
you can find almost any piece of art easily - if you care.

P.S.
Sometimes I believe that alt.asc-art is seen as a social service for 
people in need of a picture. It's not. And some people seem to believe
that the artists are longing for better promotion of their pictures.
I don't think so.
