I had a hanging chad.
Bacon is love.
I don't know what happened in the restructuring of this, but in the test I had my pick on the 1st or 2nd page and kept it the rest of the way. This time out, I think I went thru 5 or 6 prints in the course of the selection process. Liked it a lot, although I'm a bit curious about a 2nd, 3rd, etc. place finish as well.

I didn't see any Emek's that grabbed my eye enough to vote for 'em. I will reveal that I picked Everett's cuttlefish, then it was ousted by Hosman's Dylan St Louis poster, but in the end (just like in the test balloting), Alex Grey got my vote for St Albert (Hofmann).pjtaper wrote:anyone care to share what they voted for? Or is there even any reason too, I am sure everyone is voting for EMEK's amazing Nick Cave poster!!!

ONE FLAW THAT I SEE. Example: Rob Jones' 2006 NYE Racs prints will only have a chance for nomination in 2007. Since they were created in 2006 they will be disqualified from next years contest. A crime to see those slip through the cracks.
Horkeys DRDC print made it to the last page for me, then DD's "please dont worry" stole the vote.

I had Emek all the way, but crazily enough, had to choose Long Quiet Life 06 McCarthy - 1st as the print of the year. It appeals to so many people that I've shown it to, and the fact that it's glow-in-the-dark is a bonus. I dunno. I think there are posters that are better illustrated with more detail, but McCarthy got my vote.
Twas a good year for many artists, though I'd say this had to be one of Emek's record years for bad ass poster after bad ass poster.
