forgot to mention that out of the 200, there is also a handful of "staff picks"... images which are selected for the spotlight because they are good, yet possibly overlooked because the artist is new here or isn't part of a group, so isn't part of the Hot 20 crowd. Sometimes I choose images by merchants. There is nothing hypocritical in that. Sometimes artists become merchants because they are good. Sometimes an artist makes something because he needs it in order to make the image in his mind. The judgement filter at that moment is: "is this image so good that I want other artists to take a look?". My relationship to the artist (merchant, friend, or thorn n the side) or to the rest of their gallery doesn't matter... only the piece at hand. So, yes, I am aware that many merchants are also artists.
