Hi Cam,

Never played with it myself, but isn't image.getBindCode() in 
Blender.Image enough for that?  You can load the images and then get the 
bind code to use them as textures applied to quads for your 
thumbnailer.  get/setBindCode methods + documentation were contributed 
some weeks before 2.34 by Andrew Corrigan and Satish Goda.
