#6647 Favorite Artists

>Who have been peoples' favourite Traveller artists?

Well, I'd stick Tom Peters right up there in to top bits, and follow him up
by Rob Caswell (who I understand isn't doing SF art anymore) and Blair
Reynolds (who I can't seem to find within the borders of the US). I like the
old Keith brother's stuff - although I tend to like the previous artists a
little better these days. I really like Blair's figures and aliens.

He went on to say how he liked Reynolds' aliens.

Blair's MT art came as a surprise to me.  I was more familiar with
his current topic.  Blair's been doing Cthulhu art for a magazine called
"Unspeakable Oath" by Pagan Publishing: if you like Call of Cthulhu, I can't
recomend this magazine enough.  According to UO, Blair lives in Alaska,
and sends his friends at PP frozen dogs heads.  See the mag for more details.

His Cthulhu stuff is some of the most gruesome, revolting (read best) horror
artwork I've seen in awhile.  I liked his Traveller stuff too ;-)

PS-- I second the vote for Donna Barr as a great Traveller artist, but I
think most of her time is being taken up by The Desert Peach, a comic about the
Desert Fox's gay brother.  She did a musical on this topic, too.
