By voting for a poster on the first page. Read the bit at the top.quiksilvr22 wrote:how do you get to the other pages?
After you vote for a print, it becomes the "carry-over champ" and is added to page 2...

So much good stuff. I carried the Ghost Ship for 10 pages or so but plumped for The Day Everything in the end. Looking forward to '08.
Malleus NIN/Tool led the way for a bit for me, then switch to the Ghost Ship, then to the Dutch Whale. But I was suprised by what I picked in the end - more that I thought about it and what my tastes have grown to, made more sense to me. It's also (in my opinion) one of if not the best fit for a band in my eyes for a gigposter this past year -- Mafia's SF Tool print.

Nobody cares about my opinion, but...
I ended up with Horkey Boris. Something about that poster, it seems to just have turned gigposter-ing on its ass. You can barely even read the text, which oughta be pretty important, and nobody would have used those colors before - not for a heavy rock band. And it's 35" x 16"...tall. WTF. It broke every rule, but still works.
And it's fvcking beautiful.
I think there was better "art" - I think McCarthy did something special for printmaking in general with Everything/Nothing - but hey, Horkey/Boris just punched me in the gut. And that's how I hope everyone is voting.
Plus no matter how great some of that work is, it just doesn't do anything for me - I never liked Emek (to hippie-tech), Fairey, Banksy (neither of those guys does anything new or deep ~anymore), or Danger (always seems goth/emo to me), so that took out like 60% of the nominees right there
