I am sorry, I forgot about this poll! Looks like Booper's Keywok took the limelight in this particular vote (after being forced into the running by some miscreants). I'd like to start taking nominations for this month, which will close some time in the first week of March. As I have mentioned before I would like to add some more categories to this and get some discussion going. We've seen at least three new makers join the playing field these first couple of months, and I know we're all looking to see what the established makers have in store for us.
Now I ask you, what else should we vote on for February's Artisan of the Month? Design detail, design innovation, etc. Essentially, why else do we like the artisan caps besides "looking pretty"?

Nominations are in and it's time to vote. Any maker that had more than one design up for nomination had the design chosen for polling via coin flip. Should there ever be more than two designs I'll use an online number generator or something of that nature to select one.
The poll shall be open until Friday, February 19th. There's still a lot more we can do with this sort of thing, and I'd like to have more categories and discussion in the future. The fact of the matter is it's hard to pick just one, especially when we consider everything that goes into the design, and eventually the sale, of these caps. So without further ado, vote away. :D

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Artisan Cap of the Month nominations!
After some discussion about this we've decided to go ahead and get this thread officially started. I'd like to keep things simple and civil, so try to avoid debating someone's decision. We all like what we like and this is a very opinion-heavy topic.
Rules:
1) The artisan cap to be nominated must have been created/put up for sale in January. If a cap was shown in December but not sold/raffled off until January, that's fine. If a cap was shipped in February but was sold in January, that's also fine.
2) We are nominating individual caps, so please make your nomination in the following format to keep it simple for me: Maker's name/brand - full keycap name. Example: BroCaps - TR8-0R Reaper V2, KeyKollectiv - Key-Wala, etc.
3) You may make as many nominations as you like. However, I will only be selecting one keycap per artisan maker for the final poll. I have not yet decided on how this decision will be made. Maybe via random number generator. I'll accept suggestions.
4) Please be civil. As I said before, this is all an opinion and being done for fun. Let's enjoy it. :thumb:
I'll try to keep the following list in alphabetical order.
