title: how do i get a spotify artist image/portrait?
body: <p>I am trying to get an artist's image/portrait.  However, using Artist.fromURI() will return an artist object but  no portrait.  I read some other postings on StackOverflow where someone suggested using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sp.core.browseURI() 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>because fromURI only retrieves basic information for performance reasons. However recently spotify has stated that we are no longer allowed to use sp.core calls.  So what is the alternative?</p>
  
  <p>Instead this is what i'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>models.Artist.fromURI(uri, function(artist) {
     // this is called when artist is loaded but the following shows blank even
     // when the artist has an image
     console.log(artist.data.portrait);
  });
  </code></pre>
