One of the other artists I'd consider voting for beside Pamela Anderson (paintmysky.com) is Brandon Minga. His work would be a huge shift from the previous Pfister resident, and I think it would bring a great unique eye to the residency. Coming from a design and illustration background, I think his collaged images would be very interesting to see throughout the process of work as well as conceptually discussing the media, subject, and display.

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the "bio" written here. I think referring to yourself as an art and design "titan" oversteps the bounds of pretty much any artist, and even if written in a tongue & cheek way, (hard to tell on the interwebs though) it can come across as extremely conceited. I'd stay away from praising yourself or your work to that extreme, especially when it's hard to tell if you're joking or not...
Anyways, despite the bio, his work is very interesting and different from any of the other artists...take a look and make sure to vote...I think today is your last chance
