Cars first informed me of the dehumanization of machines. I would be waiting for a chance to turn onto a busy pike impatient and grumbling at the succession of not-quite-opportunities., then taking a stupid risk. I realized that the time involved was, like, 15 seconds or so. On foot a person would not even notice the delay as delay but just a continuation of process. Things that seem to make us greater than human actually make us less than human, less human. So I am sitting at my machine and am aware that to some extent my impatience is supported by my technologized alienation from you and that my impatience may not be quite a sin, but at least is a peccadillo and I should probably restrain it. Nonetheless - Monday you threatened to announce "later today." Um, uh... ?
Cool. Thank you. I'd've picked Kelly's, too, and Herreid's, also, except for Ostrov. I did not originally get the sense that the illustration was for a cover. Was that always the intent?

Sorry. The judges are being pokey. I'll pester them to get me an answer.
THANKS so much to all who entered... I promise next year I'll give you more lead time.
1st Place Kelly Dupen for her Wall-E illustration
2nd Pace Thomas McCullough for Charlie Chaplin
3rd Pace John Herreid for Bogart

nope. The cover wasn't in the contest. This was for interior art.
