STEWART COPELAND

Hey folks,

So there's a big scifi/fantasy art show I try to get into every year, and jury selection process can be a bit of a pain in the ass (as in, you never know exactly what they're going for). But in the past I've found if I let friends pick their favorites from what I have eligible to submit, I usually make it past the cut.

So here's a gallery of 35 recent astronomical/fantasy-landscape pieces I've done this year. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to pick up to 7 of your favorites (you can see the titles by clicking on the thumbnail images). I'd really appreciate your input on this! It's usually a very profitable show for me when I can get in, but I always stress out over making the cut.

Anyway, here are the choices:

Thanks again in advance for your help & input!

So, Sock, how should we communicate our favs to you? Do you want it posted here, emailed, or something else?

Wow Lady, You have serious chops. Congrats on these!

In no particular order...
Moonrise
Along the Grid
Parade*
Desert Sky
Watchers*
Domed City*
Night Moon

* real stand outs for me

Very impressive. Good luck with the show.

Here are my favorites, with the top 4 being being real stand outs for my eye:

"Forest Spirit"*
"Lake of Fire"*
"Domed City"*
"Nightflyers"*
"Beyond the Grid"
"Network"
"Distant Landscape"

I am much more a fantasy fan than science fiction fan, so the ones that are more fantasy get my attention, especially if there are dragons. That said, some of my choices are sc-fi, such as Beyond the Grid.

After the first 4, I could easily pick different ones of the wonderful choices and probably would later today if i were to do it again.
