Jurors' Comments:
Rex Arrowsmith: Good color coordination; the more you study it the more you see in the imagery. It's a very interesting piece overall.
David Johns: The composition could be called traditional, contemporary, and monotype, which is a wonderful kind of technique. The use of colors and objects that make up the composition is very handsome.
Larry King: I'm glad this piece got its deserved recognition for its fast expressive mode. Even though it's a fast process, you have to think about how it's going to come out. Many people think art stamping is not valuable, but for me it is a very expressive method of mono print, but not in the standard mode you see all the time. This is why I like the mono print of the "Hero Twins." It has great geometric imagery. It's exciting and I like the artist's color imagery and format.
