The art table stores the currently assigned artist thumb and fanart. This will either be a local file or URL link to file. It can be accessed by infolabel or JSON. Actual display of image is via the texture database which manages the thumbnail cache folder. But I think the way AS is designed is to supply a path to an image folder which skins can use via the "mulitimage" control. This is how "extrafanart" works as well.
Do you know how to access it via JSON? I looked through the JSON API and didn't find any way to do that. With the URL I could look into "downloading" the file into the folder with the rest of the stuff AS grabs. I'm not sure it's really worth it though, as AS grabs from most of the same places that the scrapper does. And, as you say, AS points to a folder and then lets the skin do the display. That's very different than the way the texture database works.
