Running without argument will also update the Artwork.tiff file

osascript path_to_script -artist   // return track artist
osascript path_to_script -album    // return track album

osascript path_to_script -artwork  // update Artwork.tiff

In Image Geeklet, set the path to path_to_script_folder/Artwork.tiff

Refresh geeklets with duration of 1-5 secs, depending on your preference

Extras

If you don't want the Spotify icon as the default artwork, there's another transparent icon in path_to_script_folder/DefaultArtwork/DefaultArtworkTrans.tiff, rename it to DefaultArtwork.tiff. If you prefer another icon image, you can just replace the DefaultArtwork.tiff.
