Vote for the artist of your choice! Votes go in the comments. Commentary and links to additional work are welcome. Polls open for at least one month past posting.
Googled both, and it looks like both mostly did things similar to the ones posted here. I can appreciate minimalism, but let's go with Sidney and his black bottle-opener headed people.
I get to vote for the Australian and not feel like I'm deliberately influencing in vote in favour of my countrymen! Yay! As much as Nolan is iconic in this country, I can't say that I'm a big fan, but in this case, he gets my vote. Long may he live.
Voting in the Infinite Art Tournament? Awesome. And, please be aware that purely anonymous votes are not counted. You don't need to log in or use your real name, but you must identify yourself in some fashion for your vote to count.

ReplyDeleteNolan's camels. We haven't had camels for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI find myself liking both more than most of the newer artists recently! I'll vote for Nolan's camels as well.
