It's settled.

Tough choice. Funny, clever and sarcastic they all had their charms. "got haiku envy?" still makes me laugh.

Die Gestalten Verlag has published a most delish collection of animations from the web hottest artists in 72dpi-Anime . When this book arrived I ripped the plastic off it to deeply inhale that fresh-off a printer smell like the book junkie I am. Thick pages in this gorgeous book flaunt each animations best stills on a doublepage spreads, sorted by artists.

The category will be called "Lavoie's Playground" after the jury president himself, and although it will be open to ads that would be considered scams in other award shows, the category is not a complete free-for-all.

Result? Emailharvesters make their own sites! (do read more)
