# Image Challenge Vote
This week's image challenge vote has leapt the final fence and is heading down the home straight.

Your choices are:

* Biro art! Create your next masterpiece in biro, or model something out of several biros. Show those poncy charcoal/acrylic users the true power of the ballpoint pen.

* Rock stars in retirement. Show us what Bono, Sting, etc, would be doing if retirement was forced on all musicians at the age of thirty.

* It's the London Mayoral elections. So photoshop Ken and Boris.

* Apple have changed the world since we last did an 'If Apple made Everything' challenge, in 2006. So let's do it again: If Apple made X - pick an object, and Applify it.

And here's the click machine:

if we can 'shop Biro's then there's a lot more scope...just don't fancy a board full of line art all week

# BIRO ART!
but here is my detailed analysis:

Biro art! - YES
Rock stars in retirement - No
It's the London Mayoral elections - No
If Apple made Everything - NO!

* so there you have it

# Biro art is exclusivist, and denies people who can't draw the chance to be included
anyone who argues with this is not allowed to make negative comments about any craply drawn, badly scanned, poorly sized drawings.

As long as they're in biro.

I abstain.

# Immediately this was posted...
I voted for biro art. And was proud to see the result I wanted (on one vote).

Then I refreshed and someone voted for Ken/Boris, and I gnashed my teeth in fury at the inadequacies of democracy.

Now I am happy again. But wondering if all this "letting other people vote" was really necessary?

I tried reading it as

and
"great way to get rid of more forum-members-choosing-biro-art"

And I still don't understand what or why your anger is?

shurely, for the challenge, concept is always more important than talent or having ideal equipment?
