Caro is quite good! I am totally digging those piles of scrap-metal more than I probably should. But Carpaccio is really neat too. I enjoy the relatively high amount of detail in his paintings! I'll vote Carpaccio.

Carpaccio! The first one made me laugh, and then the second one did too though I am sure I wasn't supposed to, being as how it would offend Joseph of Aremathea and all. But I will consign Caro to the scrap heap along with Click & Clack, off to the great junkyard in the sky.

I'm going to go with the 2nd guy. "Depressed Women Playing With Dogs" is sublime and "Rejected Slayer Album Cover" will always be a classic.

A hard decision, but going with Tony "The Junkyard Dog" Caro.

I like the textures and shapes and found quality and BIG THINGness of the Caro sculptures.

My gut likes Caro but the analytical analyses favors Carpaccio...tough! I'm going with Caro against my analytical judgment.

I was on the fence, and I really dig the bored Venetian ladies, but that elegantly problematic watering can objet right here in PDX made me decide to cast my vote for Caro.

Carpaccio! I'm digging the lines of the composition. In contrast, with Caro, my eyes want to run away.
