I don't really like that idea. After a few years of it, when an artist is picked, you then have to start wondering if they were truly the best artist of the year, or the best artist of the year except for these other 4 guys who won before. I think it would be a neat vote to have and to discuss and debate. But if we have it at all it should be a clean slate each year, imho.
So it goes...

Good point mfaith, if an artist wins multiple times then so be it. They produced the best work within the given year and earned it. Makes sense.

Also surprised by my picks...

Haven't even seen it yet, but can't imagine it not being gorgeous in person!

Zoltron nailed that Gobstopper version!

Wish I had pulled the trigger on this at the time :shock:

I don't really know how I ended with PF ...would probably do it differently, but no real stand-out in cinema posters this year. Art prints were hell to navigate, what a mess.

These results are not going to be good, least what I finished with. I would highly disagree with myself aside from my welker phish gig poster. Some how I ended up with a fight club print I didnt even consider buying.

cinema (animated film or not, love this print. great composition and everything I want in a movie print. FOTR is going to be amazing but strikes me as more of an art print):

GP - Image
This was my winner from the start and it showed up on the first screen, which sucked because I didn't get to gratuitously vote for my shitty gp once. :/

Art - Image
Went in with a completely different winner in mind, that changed 4 or 5 times, and this came out on top; barely beat out 'Fight or Flight'.

Movie - Image

I wanted to go with Miles Tsang for GP of the year but choosing between these two, even though they were for different nights, felt like the classic "reg > variant" debate..

Only topped by the legions on fuckwads who back his money grab. Love to see a fudge ton of skinheads crash his next art show and make his bullshit real. drymounting douchbags.

A cartoon of person who killed millions of women and children as the art of the year?
drymount you.

Mitchell is a tool but he has the right to free speech and we have to accept the good with the bad when it comes to free speech. That said, the artwork sucks so you don't have to worry about it winning POTY or AOTY or whatever it is.

I tried to vote for movie poster, but I didn't see anything I liked on the first page. Oh well...

Anything better on the second page will override your selection on the first page.
