Robin Jacques

Robin Jacques (27 March 1920 – 18 March 1995) was an illustrator whose work was published in more than 100 novels and children's books. He is notable for his long collaboration with Ruth Manning-Sanders, illustrating many of her collections of fairy tales from all over the world. In much of his work, Jacques employed the stippling technique.

He was quoted as saying: "My preference is for children's books of the more imaginative and fanciful kind, since these leave greater scope for illustrative invention, where I feel most at home. Thus, my work with Ruth Manning-Sanders has proved most satisfying, and the twenty-five books we have done together contain much of the work that I feel personally happiest with."

Rebecca Guay

Rebecca Guay was born 1970 - that's all we know. And apparently that's too much information about her as far as she's concerned. Pity, I say.

I have probably already mentioned her - I fell in love with her work with Magic the Gathering card game. She is the artist behind some of my favorite artworks from that game, and there's a lot to enjoy there, so do go and check out the card art for Magic the Gathering.

Nature's Chosen MtG
(I would like to point out that most MtG illustrations are done as miniatures - if you look at the white speckles at the mist, this is about the actual size of this arwork here... maybe it was a little bit bigger, but probably not more than twice this.
