2007 Artist
August 12th, 2007 by Editors
The following should be eligible for Best Artist in the Hugos and Locus Awards; and also in the World Fantasy Awards if the art is deemed to be fantasy.
In order to discourage people from voting for the “usual suspects” each year we would like to list particular works that each artist has been responsible for in the year of eligibility, although none of the awards requires works to be included in nominations.

Sorry… my nomination is Adam Rex,
Allen Douglas
Stephen Martiniere.
His cover for “Bright of the Sky” by Kay Kenyon, as an example par excellence of his work.
Getting a little outside of the usual box, Johnna Y. Klukas (sculpture, website is jykboxes.com)
Mike Mignola ( best known for Hellboy) did a wonderful cover for Ray Manzarek’s “Snake Moon”
For the Hugos, I’m never sure who belongs in the ‘pro’ vs. ‘fan’ category. All these are pro-artists, I gather?
Denni @6:
The distinction between “fan” and “pro” artist is not clear cut. One person once won the Best Fan Artist and Best Pro Artist Hugo Awards in the same year, whereupon WSFS passed a rule prohibiting that. (That rule may be repealed; a proposal to repeal it got first passage at last year’s Worldcon and will be up for its final vote this year at Denvention Three.)
I think most or all of the people on this list should be considered professional artists, although from time to time any of them may do what we consider fan art.
Thanks Kevin.
Part of the confusion for me is where the artists stand who provide the stunning illustrations for Interzone.
Denni, that’s a very good question. I’m pretty sure that the cover artists get paid, so that work would class as professional. However, I have a suspicion that some of the material in Interzone (e.g. book reviews) is not paid (other than in review copies). If the same is true of some of the interior art it would class as fan art.
I don’t see Steve Youlls name on this list. I think if you have done as many outstanding covers as this guy you deserve to be on this list, somewhere at the top of the list.
I’ve been looking at this guys work for 20 years now and have been a huge fan for as long, why he isn’t on this list is astounding, take a good look at his past and present work it should speak for it’s self it shouldn’t take me to point this out!!!
