  1. Although Cole wins the "on my wall" contest, I am voting for Amador. I guess I prefer his art on nature over art of nature.

  2. Amador--spectacular and transient.

  3. Amador, wow. Does he (did he, could he) do any collaborations with Jensen?

  4. Amador's beach tattoos are pretty, but he's no Theo Jansen. I'm voting for Thomas Cole and the Big Chalice.

  5. Normally I would probably say Cole, but I dunno, I guess I want to give Amador a chance. Sorry Cole.

  6. I'll pick Amador for the Third Annual Kiwanas Sea 'n' Sky Festival Sand Castle and Beach Sculpture Contest, and Cole for the Infinite Art Tournament.

  8. Amador. Cole maybe had a shot until I saw the great land chalice.

  9. The rake's progress continues, as Amador polls 8 votes to Cole's 5! American art market rocked as collectors are forced to reevaluate Cole's work, much of it valued in seven digits!
