My favorites are Phil Foglio and Carly Mazur
Some favorite Foglios
(yes I like goblins)
And some favorite Mazurs
I’m terrified to respond. Every time I find an artist I like it seems like they turn out to be a completely garbage person. Therese Nielsen, Seb McKinnon, Noah Bradley…
Jeremy Wilson, Magali Villeneuve, and Johannes Voss are probably my highest ranking active artists right now, but now I’m looking forward to finding out one is an actual cannibal or something.
I feel you there… Although it was already fairly apparent that Nielsen wasn’t a great person by the time I really became aware of her, for quite a while, I considered Noah Bradley to be my favorite MtG artist. After that story broke, I vividly remember saying to myself, “Well, at least there’s still Seb McKinnon…”
And, well, yeah…
I guess my favorite artist after that would be John Avon, even if he only occasionally does new MtG pieces these days. At least he seems like a pretty wholesome guy, but then again, I thought the same about Bradley…
rk post. Great art, even greater guy
Seriously, the guy is such a blast to talk to at events and he’s game to alter anything.
Two artist not already mentioned, but I am a fan of Richard Kane Ferguson cards. And Robert Bliss cards always gave me the hebbie jeebies as a kid, so pretty fond of them now.
Jeff Laubenstein is awesome and has done some great alters for me. He’s awesome to talk to at events.
Dan Frazier will always hold a special place in my heart because I wrote to him and a bunch of other artists when I was 10 or 11 and he was the only one to write back and answer my questions.
Victor Adame-Minguez did the art for Brutal Expulsion, which is a card that holds special significance for me.
Howard Lyon does some really phenomenal work and he’s another person who is really great to talk to at events.
Steve Argyle is an absolute madman when it comes to alters and sketches and he’s another really awesome dude to talk to at events. He’s so soft spoken and his artwork is so loud and I absolutely love that dichotomy.
If you like Phil and Kaja Foglio, Check out their ongoing web comic/graphic novel Girl Genius! A video game is coming out soon too.
