    Damn, in any other contest I would have voted for Joseph Wright and SCIENCE!!! (and volcanoes) but I really, really like Theo Jansen's ambulating shell-creatures and seahorse-vaned millipedes. I suppose this is still a vote for SCIENCE!!! after all, come to think of it.

    In my opinion, Wright earns his right! I'll vote for Mr. of Derby.

    Jansen's sculptures are freaking amazing. They GO, you know! But you know what? I'm casting my vote for Geertgen tot Sint Jans, whose images are super tugging at my heartstrings.

    I'll go for the odd oblongly-shaped people of Sint Jans.

    I'll go with this Wright guy, although I like them all.

    I'm surprising myself here by voting for Wright, but another day, it'd be Jansen.

    I like all these artists, too! But I'll give my nod to Joseph Wright.

    I really like Wright of Derby, but everybody knows that I'm a Gertgen tot Sint Jans man through and through, and there's no use hiding it.

    via the US Postal Service, there's a vote for Geertgen tot Sint Jans!

    This one came down to a single vote, with Wright of Derby defending his right from Gertgen Tot Sint Jans 6 votes to 5. One vote went to the universally praised wind-robots of Jansen. Wright therefore dusts himself off after his Play-In flop, and readies himself to jump back into the fray in three or four years.
