If you look at the way bricks are generally placed in a wall, you can 
see that the top half of an image, if split and switched left/right in 
the bottom half, can make a good hex tiling image.

There are plenty of integer pairs that come very close to the value of 
sqrt(.75), so getting an image with good-looking proportions isn't hard.
