[color="DarkOrange"]"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things... hey... the good things don't always soften the bad things; but vice-versa the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant." -11th Doctor

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I PM'ed my votes, although I was very tempted to just show everyone. I guess I'm just too darn secretive.

I'd also like to say that I am very grateful that I have been nominated by so many people. It's really encouraging to know that I've touched some one or brightened a day. Thanks everyone.

Don't vote for yourself, man, that will nullify your entire ballot. It'd be perfectly legitimate to say you wanted to vote for yourself, and it could be considered vaguely amusing.

Would you be so kind as to tell me why, mayhaps?

You didn't have to take it down, you could have just said you really wanted to do so. It was a joke, but Link Antilles did make it clear that was an invalidating condition.
