1: The Cafe - The eeriness of it gets me. It seems that something terrible is happening, but the image is so calm.

2: A Perfect Vacuum - The image is violent: the breaking window, the falling books, the fluttering dove. The floating woman seems to be peaceful though, relaxed. Her left hand is resting loosely on her her ankle. Everything is just fine to her.

NOTE: 1 and 2 could be switched (or a tie). Won't know for sure untill they are both in hand.

3: There is Glory in our Failure
4: Heat Death
then all the rest of them.

As with any print, it is difficult to honestly evaluate without having the art in front of you. Nonetheless, I voted for A Perfect Vacuum as # 1 on my list. I have already given a long explanation of my take on the image, so I won't repeat it here. Let's just say that APV is at the top of my list by quite a bit.
#1 A Perfect Vacuum
#2 Cafe
#3 White Cosmonaut
#4 Redemption
#5 Alley
#6 Heat Death
#7 Street
#8 Glory
#9 Freeway
#10 Adrift
#11 Red Cosmonaut
# ... the rest

Adrift and Red Cosmo are at the bottom of my list because of the dominance of Black and Red. I like the images, and might like these better if (as another poster suggested) they were grouped with White Cosmo and Redemption. Sadly, I don't own White Cosmo ...

Just out of curiosity, does heat death not make your list at all? Or not there because you don't have one?

Vacuum at no.1?! It's good, but c'mon now. Seems like a fliptastic way to vote in order to raise the trade bait/value of the print.
Collecting Geddes was a lot more fun before all the assholes showed up.

Not everyone has a cosmonaut booner. I for one am glad every time one of his prints is sans spaceman.

It doesn't surprise me to see APV at #1. What surprises me is seeing people vote The Street or Cafe. Street because there is nothing it does that heat death doesn't do better. And cafe because it just isn't as good in comparison to the others, although some people are attracted to the whole creepy vibe and I guess cafe probably does that better than any of his others so I can almost understand that one.

Rarely seen, the 'srdzevon' edition of Freeway:

Dude, what is it that you don't understand in Perfect Vacuum = broader appeal
Was there really a doubt as soon as this image was released that this would be by far Geddes most popular image? Not a single one.
Not everyone wants to hang a cosmonaut that seems to come down of a rope ala SWAT to operate his mission.
Geez.. I hope the next release is a bunch of clustered cosmonauts, so that I don't have to explain myself to the ''hardcore'' fans.

Caught the error moments after I submitted my post, tried to correct the oversight before anyone commented ... but you beat me to it. Heat Death is on its way to me as I write this :wink: so its a little odd that I left it out. Oh well ... it doesn't change my #1.

EB members who resort to calling other members names because they don't agree with an opinion or point of view have been around for a long time. And I had to buy my APV after the release because I failed at the drop -- not exactly a "fliptastic" move.

Why is Cluster not on the poll?
That is my favorite followed by Redemption.
Cannot wait for the larger size of Cluster, per his email, there is suppose to be one coming out. The small one sold out in about an hour (ed. of 70 and only to email customers) oh....remember the days when you could be on a special list that you had to be asked to be put on cause you really gave a sh*it about the artist...
If people think Vacuume is insane, wait until they catch wind on Cluster on an official release!
