COMMENTS BY JUDGES ON ART IN 
COLOR AND SHADES OF GREY CATEGORY

REISS, A	

NOT INVITED	1	

I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S "IN YOUR FACE"  SHOWS IT AS IT IS.  
NO LIES ATTACHED.  SCARY BUT TRUE.  NO BODY WAS INVITED TO 
ANY OF THIS ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED IT.  WERE JUST THE 
UNPAID GUESTS THAT GETS STUCK WITH THE BILL.  (NO PUN INTENDED).

REISS, A	
SAY NO	2	

VERY INYOUR FACE TOO.  SRANGE WAY OF SHOWING THE COMMERCIAL MEDIA THE 
OPPOSITE.  DOESN'T ALL MEDIA SOURCES STUFF THIS "LIFE" IN YOUR FATE 
IF YOU WANT IT OR NOT?  BEAUTIFULLY THE WRONG.  GLEN SEEMS TO BE MOCKING 
THE MEDIA OR REALLY JUST WANT TO SHOW THE "REAL" PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO 
CREATIVE IMPUT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS "SATURATED SEX" IN OUR 
LIVES LIKE "THE MEDIA THINKS."  GOOD 4 HIM.

REISS, A	
I'M DIFFERENT	3	

NOBODY CAN BE DIFFERENT IF WE FOLLOW THE SAME PERSON.  BE YOUR OWN PERSON 
AND THE DOMINOS WILL FALL DOWN.  MAYBE IF WE ALL FOCUS ON BEING "WHO YOU 
ARE" INSTEAD OF BEING "WHAT YOU ARE" WE CAN GET SOMEWHERE.  BEING A MOLDED 
PERSON IN TODAYS WORLD--PUTS YOU BACK DOWN TO UNEFFECTIVE QUICK, CHEAP, 
DISPOSABLE INDUSRIAL FORM--WHICH MEANS YOUR BROKEN PART WILL BE OBSOLETE 
WHEN YOU TRY TO GET IT FIXED.

SLOTA, L	
WHO WILL BRING HOPE	1	

GOOD ART & IDEA--WOULD LOOK STRIKING ON A TEESHIRT.

SLOTA, L	
AFRICAN GOODS	2	

GOOD IMAGE

CORTEZ, C  	
I'M DIFFERENT	1	

WHILE TITILATING, STILL IN GOOD TASTE, CLEAR AND READILWHILE TITILATING, 
STILL IN GOOD TASTE, CLEAR AND READIL SEEN.  MY ACCEPTIONS THOUGH BRIEF 
WERE BASED ON LACK OF CLARITY AND IMPACT AND NOT ON LACK OF TECHNIQUE.

WAPAHI, R	
DIVERSITY FRUIT	1	

ALL "SHAPES" REINFORCES THE DIVERSITY THEME OF COLOR.

WAPAHI, R
WHO WILL BRING HOPE	3	

OUT OF CHAOS.  WHERE WILL ANSWER COME FROM.

WAPAHI, R	
WHO WILL FOOD?	4	

AGAIN FROM SO MANY VARIANTS.  WHERE IS ANSWER.  I SEE A THEME.

WAPAHI, R	
EXPECT--ACCEPT	2	
USE OF WORD PLAY WAS "CATCH THAT WORKED FOR ME.

DREW, C.	
LOVE LIGHT	1	
THE TEXT AND PHOTO ILLUMINATE EACH OTHER WELL.  STRONG T-SHIRT DESIGN.

DREW, C.	
PEACOCK	2	

FUN IDEA AND AGAIN ILLUSTRATES ITS POINT WELL.  VERY ON THEME.

DREW, C.	
EXPECT/ RESPECT	3	
SOLID DESIGN BUT NOT AS INSTENT IN ITS COMMUNICATION.

DREW, C.	
DIVERSITY IS THE FRUIT OF LIFE	4	
STRONG AND COLORFUL, WORTHY OF PLACEMENT IN LEADING GROUP.

BECK.G 	
DIFFERENCE	4	

IMAGE JUST GRABBED ME--BIT OF A BREAK FROM THE WELL INTENDED, BUT REPEATED THEMES 
PRESENTED.  DIFFERENT THAN THE OTHER SUBMISSIONS.

BECK, G	
EXPECT-RESPECT-ACCEPT	3	

LIKED THE SIMPLE PHRASING.

BECK, G	
END RACISM	1	

PLAIN CLEAR MESSAGE.  MORE THAN JUST RACISM ADDRESSED.

BECK,G	
WHO WILL BRING HOPE	2	

JUST A REALLY STRIKING IMAGE.  W/O HAVING ARTIST STATEMENT.  HAD ME THINKING ABOUT 
OPRESSION IN GENERAL.  & THOSE WHO ARE GENERALLY ON THE BENEFITTING END VS RECEIVING 
END & THIS IMPORTANT TO NOTIONS OF RACISM.  NOT JUST DESCRIMINATION BUT ACTUAL 
$/RESOURCES & GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS OF INSTITUTIONA RACISM.
