The first round of voting lasts two weeks. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is my not-so-great attempt at trying to get people who are interested in my work to head over and toss me some votes. </div><div><br /></div><div>You can vote by visiting this <a href="http://www.saatchionline.com/showdown/match/showdown/4/artist/229644/art/106528">link</a>.</div><div>Or, you can go directly to <a href="http://www.saatchionline.com/karlyperez">my page</a> and vote from there. </div><div>I very much appreciate it.

I've also made a promise to myself to do blog updates more often, if nothing more than a photograph of works in progress. </div><div>Next week will be one of "happenings".
