While I may have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever, I can at least appreciate the work of those who do. One of my favourite genre artists is Martin McKenna, whose work has graced hundreds of speculative publications over the last twenty years. While he is skilled with all mediums, it is his pencil drawings that truly excel, at least in my opinion. The atmosphere that some of his illustrations evoke is fantastic.

While I'm on the subject, I'm also quite partial to Ted Nasmith's illustrations, particularly those of Middle Earth/Lord of the Rings. I even have three decorative plates with some of his Lord of the Rings illustrations on. I'm not so keen on his Lord of the Rings-inspired musical compositions though...best stick to the paintbrush, Mr Nasmith.

Who else...ah, how could I forget Jelly, my brother and faithful reading troll. He happens to be an illustrator too, and while he is still learning his trade he has produced some tasty genre artwork, such as this little gem below:
