Michael Whelan
Can we please, please discover some new artists. Yes, Picacio is, from what I know, a good guy! I too love Donato Giancola and Michael Whelan and Julie Dillon! But, like... Whelan does not need to be on any more finalist lists, really. Honestly I think art awards should be more like lifetime achievement awards and once someone has won it once they now Have That Achievement and aren't eligible again. I guess you would still have people nominated year after year without ever winning, but maybe we could at least slowly clear some of them out. Or go the other way and make it an actual works award and nominate specific works, blah.
