This is a strong matchup! I'll vote Vieira da Silva.
Miro for the color. And more variety of line.
OK, here's a match where one artist is really famous, and the other is someone I had never heard of before the tournament. And, in my mind, Vieira da Silva is so much better I can hardly stand it. Where are HER calendars?
Miro.
Susan votes-by-mail for Miro.

I'm going to vote for Miro' and good cheer, but don't tell my wife.
And that was Miro's seventh votes, against Vieira da Silva's two, which means it's Miro' who continues the long journey left to take on Ernst Haeckel!
