[add-art dev] Caching the updated art images

[Ethan Ham]

Here's something that might be an issue: putting the jpegs into xml makes
the data twice as heavy (~11MB instead of ~6MB).  This is because the image
data has to be converted to Base64 so as to avoid breaking the xml.

Is 11MB acceptable for a download size?
