Ron, I've seen your art. It's boring and pedestrian. It didn't make me think, it didn't make me cry, it didn't make me feel good or bad. It didn't make me feel at all, one way or another. Legume's art, on the other hand, always makes me feel something - whether it's anger, disgust, curiosity, whatever, it still makes me FEEL and that's why I think it's much better than your art. And that, for ME, is the whole purpose of art. If it doesn't speak to me in some way, if it doesn't grab my attention, engage my emotions somehow, then it's just not what I would call art and has absolutely no value to me whatsoever. Kate (who did NOT vote for Legume for AOM, btw, because AOM is not something I find important at all)
