well Jettboy, after reading several of your posts I'm not surprised you'd vote for Legume. After all, quality of art skills no longer matter in art now do they? I'll agree that Legume provokes a reaction, deliberately so (so do political pundits, and they aren't artists either) and probably his art would fit well in a modern art gallery next to the guy that piled 30 radios up in the corner or painted 4 canvas the same colour as the wall... (yeah, I actually saw art like this hanging in two different modern art museums in Paris last year) but I think there are many other artists on this site and in the running that display more artistic craftsmanship in their work. As for me, I started drawing when I was 10 years old. (34 years old now) I won my first art contest in school at 12 years old. I have won money in art contests, and as a side note I have even won state music contests when I was in high school. And this was LONG before there ever was anything called Poser... or even a personal computer capable of creating art. (in those days, all you could use a PC for was simple games or office work!) I can quite easily pick up a PENCIL and draw whatever I want. And ToxicAngel can too. I like to see people that can mix 2d and 3d artwork with skill, and that's why I like looking at Toxic's work. It helps me with my own work. By Legume's own admission I saw once, he is not able to draw. What do I learn from Legume's work? I laugh at it of course, but I don't learn any art skills I don't already have. I probably could learn a few political skills I guess, though. I won't hold it against him, its what he does and he does it well, but Jettboy, you need to look at the person you're voting for before making stupid comments like quote: "Legume could, and most likely would, actually still be an artist if Poser had never been released" because by his own admission Legume CAN'T draw.
