Use a PDB to POV convertor on a glucose or sucrose structure file. Then
add various effects for electron clouds, and add cool lighting. Render
a ridiculously pretty image and print it on a T-shirt, with the caption,
"eye candy."

On the front, put a small POVRay "P" and on the back maybe one of the 
following:
Distant Shores- C. Gerber
Dark Side of Trees- G. Tran
Reach for the Stars- G Tran and J Piqueres
Alchemists Laboratory- J. Piqueres
Non-cubic Space Division-T. Kristensen
or any other of the hall of famers, or perhaps each make there own work. POV 
"P" on front, artist's best work on back ;->

See:
http://www.xfrog.com/4images/search.php?search_user=gtran

Take for example, "The Accident".
http://www.xfrog.com/4images/details.php?image_id=92&mode=search

I can think of no other artist whose work inspires me more, whom I believe
deserving of accolades and cash, whose work I'd rather have on my wall.

I think "The Accident" might be one of the coolest works of Gilles. But as
it is, I think it makes a poor "evangelistic tract" for povray, as I'd
guess 75% of viewers will assume it's a photograph of the present reality
we exist in. I don't think that exhaustive photorealism is itself a bad
thing, but that if you are specifically interested in impressing folks with
a raytracer, you ought to either:

i) have exhaustive photorealism of an unreal world or impossible items in
our world, or

ii) throw into the mix of objects a variation in completeness. Such as an
untextured grey car in "The Accident", or one with wireframe (not that we
have this innately in povray).

Just my 2 cents.
