Re: I had never heard of it (Textpattern) before
One thing I really like about Phil’s design is the fact that no images are required so we can get ride of the two pre-loaded images as well. That way, when users begin adding their own images, they can start with 1 instead of 3.
Agree totally (that’s why I’ve purposely used no images in that design), in fact IMO no theme-related images should ever be part of a CMS (especially not as part of a default install anyway), since they are part of the design itself not the site content. That way, when you come to redesign your site in future you’ve not got a load of redundant images in your CMS database.

This is only an issue when the CMS does not distinguish between images used for content and those used for design.

Correct, front side themes should have an images directory, just like the admin themes has. When I first started creating themes, I used a subdirectory off of /images, like /images/kubrick, etc. Now that I use a plugin, everything resides under _templates, as in _templates/kubrick/images.
