Another awesome SIGGRAPH paper

Stumbled across this gem while doing research for my thesis paper - Painting by Feature: Texture Boundaries for Example-based Image Creation, presented at SIGGRAPH this past summer (2013). Basically the idea is using images as your palette, as opposed to preset colors and brushes. While the idea of using images to paint from is not necessarily new, the method in which the authors approach it is new, and quite intriguing. The example images are interesting as well, and really showcase the possibilities of this approach.
