Vote for the two artists of your choice! Votes generally go in the comments, but have been known to arrive by email, by postcard, or in a sealed envelope.

Please note that you may vote only once in each face-off.  Opining that both of the artists in one of the two face-offs is superior to the other is fine, but casting your votes for two artists in the same face-off is not permissible.

    I don't usually vote for the spattery-my-kid-could-do-this abstract stuff, but it will be Sam Francis in the first faceoff, because I rather like the blue spatters.

    And then of course SHEEP!!!! and Frink for #2.

    Freud and Frink! Sounds like a clothing store for the young and angst-ridden.

    Definitely Francis, it's hard to get that splatter right, so he's got a big tick from me for that.
    The last one is too hard for me to judge, as I like them both a LOT.

    First result! Francis takes out Freud by a 9-3 margin. Frink/Froment is still open for a few more days.
