Replace dashboard widgets with banner ad

I know it’s probably not encouraged, but is there a way to replace the standard dashboard widgets (Recent Drafts, Quickpress, etc.) with a standard image banner ad?

I know how to add new dashboard widgets, but I want this to be a plain image with no surrounding widget.
