We picked Fred Fields. Although we will probably purchase one regardless of the artist as long as it isn't $200+.

I am wondering the same thing.  People are supposed to pick everyone they are willing to support with the understanding that some artists cost more.   Furthermore, if you pick Brom, Fields and Elmore that means you are willing to pay as much as $200.00 to $250.00 or so for that art, sight unseen.  If you pick Darlene and Jaquays as well, it's likely their art won't cost as much.  

If there is a new poll how about putting Wham on the list?

Ok, fixed my vote, but I am writing in Tim Truman, anyway.

Regardless, I am buying at pretty much any price level.

You can currently choose Tom Wham among your choices, or any other artist(s) for that matter.  You include the option "Someone not listed" and then do what you've done and list him and any others you like in your reply.  The poll is limited to ten options and the committee went with eight arguably good options.  Again, art is subjective and the options we chose are not the options everybody else would choose.  

That suits you well since you don't like Wham, but not including him as a choice pretty much screws him out of it.

Are there some examples of Wham's artwork that would lead to thinking this would be a great large artistic piece?

The only example of anything larger that he has done is the cover of Snit's Revenge.

Badmike wrote in ACAEUM Limited Edition Art Poll:Personally Wham is not my cup of tea (for a game, sure, Wham's games are legendary), but I would find it extremely hard to work on a project of an artist whose work doesn't really appeal to me, Chris (and the others on the committee) thought the same thing. Also, since his stuff is mainly cartoony (like Foglio), we thought the appeal to many of the buyers who wanted a more "heroic" type piece of art might be very limited.

You and the committee are probably right, so why stack the poll against Wham by not putting him up as a choice? Or do you mean that the committee wouldn't do Wham even if he somehow got enough votes?

My thoughts are that EO, Trampier, Sutherland and Wham are D&D/AD&D from the beginning. EO we've done, Tramp and Sutherland are gone, and I'd love to see an Acaeum Wham project while it is still possible.

I know some guys from G+ that game with and work with Ernie Gygax and Wham so I'll start poking around. Time for a different thread.

If you squint, that dude even looks a little like me.

Really?  I always pictured you a little younger.
