Surprised I haven't read more about people's votes. This year, there is a lot
of great art, and I love the two step voting process. In the past, I would try
to look at each category from the top down and from the bottom up, so I didn’t
use my votes too quickly, and inadvertently disadvantage someone with a name
later in the alphabet. The new two-step process is brilliant. Thanks to Bill
and Brian for improving a fun (but tough) process. This took a really long
time, but I love seeing so many pieces that I somehow missed! So, perhaps more
importantly, thanks to everyone that posted such amazing art to keep all of us
busy with something to see over such a terrible year.
