Burri.
I really like Burra! And I can't really get into Burri.
Burri for me!
Edward Burra. Their human representations are amazing.
Burra.
Loving Burra! He slightly reminds me of... wait... checking alphabetical order... Justin Bua! Can I add him to your list of play ins?
Burra!!!
I love the lightbulbs.
Well, I was all set to vote for Burra, but then I Googled them both for the face-off, and I saw photos of Burri's Grande Cretto, and I was, like, whoa, that is the most amazing ghost town land art I've ever seen, so now I'm voting for Burri.
I'm going w/ Burri because of the textures, but this one was really close.
See, this is exactly what's so good for me! I look at the top, think, wow, neither! And then I come down the to comments and see people actually liking it. That's what growth is all about, baby.
(Okay, technically, growth would be if it changed my mind, which hasn't happened on these two yet, but I'm trying!)
Burra, either because of or despite the ghost face in the upper left of picture one. And because Burri does nothing for me but make me want to walk past his work faster.
Chuck: Justin Bua it is!
Burra. Isn't that a line from "Treasure of the Sierra Madre": "I think I'll go check the Burras" ?
After initial scorn for Burri, he's started to grow on me: textures, like lamanyana says, plus some external stuff that Mrs.5000 lobbied me with. Burra... isn't really doing it for me. So, my vote is going to the Italian.
Burra
And it's Burra over Burri, 8-5. But you can still comment if you want to.
