Klee
ReplyDeleteI really like Klee, but I can't justify voting against Banksy in this matchup.
ReplyDeleteActually, never mind, I can. Klee.

ReplyDeleteI vote Klee, Klee, Klee, and Klee, then the Norge mitten guy, with Banksy taking 5th through 8th.
ReplyDeleteI mean 6th through 9th, of course. I was so busy being partisan I lost count.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote from the proles for Banksy.

ReplyDeleteOh, well. I like Bansky and all, but Klee? It'll take more than Bansky for me to vote against Klee.
ReplyDeleteI probably linked this before, but am required to again: The Klee my parents had when I was a kid (well a print of it anyway), and I still have, Fish Magic, http://uploads4.wikiart.org/images/paul-klee/fish-magic-1925.jpg
I think I posted right, but in case I messed it up, I vote Klee.
ReplyDeleteHere's a conflicted emailed vote for Klee.

ReplyDeleteHere's my own unconflicted vote for Klee. Like the Mrs., I like the mitten on the Norwegian stamp, too.

ReplyDeleteIt's only the fourth time a Play-In artist has lost a match, as Klee sends Banksy to the Left Brackets with a nine vote to three triumph. Thanks for your votes!
