Recently, it seems like a lot of artists that are doing a majority of photography have been making artist spotlight. I'm not saying it's a bad art form as for I do it as well. I just think there haven't been many abstract/computer graphic artist spotlights.

Just one person's opinion.

The artist spotlight is selected based on the most nominations from members, so it's purely up to them who is chosen. If you want to nominate someone who's work is in a different field you are certainly free to do so.
