            {
                var image: UIImage? = artwork.imageWithSize(artwork.bounds.size)

                if image == nil {
                    image = artwork.imageWithSize(artwork.bounds.size);
                }

                if image != nil{
                    println("image loaded")
                }
            }
        }
