There's basically a way of doing that already. In the settings you can go to SLIDESHOW and then enable USE TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND WHEN NO IMAGES FOUND. If the skin supports that flag then anything behind the normal AS display will be shown, and that is often an artist image.
If you're going to do a PR, please make sure the image display honors the user's choice regarding image resolution. By default AS only downloads and uses 16x9 images. The user can elect to download any resolution from fanart.tv or htbackdrops.org. I would suggest that if they have selected that option on either then it would be OK to display a non 16x9 image. Otherwise AS should really only display this internal image if it's also 16x9. Lastly, this should be optional, so a setting would need to be added to the SLIDESHOW section of the settings.
