How is the image on the home page selected? The image is selected by the following process: First, an artist is chosen at random from among those who have DC galleries that meet high artistic standards.
Next an image is picked at random from those in the galleries of that artist and a thumbnail of that image is created for display.
The image changes each time the page is refreshed.
