Congrats to Dave Woody! You can see his portraits here.
that's it?? but it's so uninspired! i mean, i suppose it's technically well done, but really... how utterly DULL.
ReplyDeletei wonder what B.S. the artist wrote to justify such a boring photo.
i have seen the second place winner and he gota raw deal. his painting is inspired and was done with skill as well. these photos from the first place winner dont deserve first place. i often wonder if artist will continue to let non artist "scholars" decide what is sound art. they postulate that if it is purely conceptual in the sence that its nicely explained crap than it must be good. kudos to stanley rayfield, they owe you 25 grand.
