This may have been posted before but I was wondering what people's favorite artist is. My personal Dave is Jason Chan.
{Thrun, the last Troll}
{Iona, Shield of Emeria}
{Apocolypse Hydra}
{Knight Exemplar}
I've always liked whoever did {tibalt, the fiend blooded} and the person who did {tamiyo, the moon sage}, and the person who did {liliana of the veil}
In order of card association
Peter Morbacher
Eric Deschamps
Steve Argyle
And I also like Jana Shirmer and Johannes Voss (the team is nice, {sheoldred, whispering one}). Another great team is Zoltan Boros and Gabor Sziksai.

All three of those, as my friend says, lack suck.
My favorite is definitely Igor Kieryluk. I collect his foils, I have about ten of them and I'm always looking to trade for more.
His notable works are:
{Geist of Saint Traft}
{Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite}
{Spectral Rider}

John Avon!

{Spectral Rider} is a pretty tank foil.
I like Pete "Fear Me" Venters. Check out his Unhinged Unglued stuff. I tries to build a deck around {Drawn Togeather}
I'm personally a big fan of {Greg Staples}' work, everything I see of his looks great.
{Steve Argyle} is an easy fav also.

I have seen several by Steve Argyle but never Greg Staples that I know of.

{Diabolic Tutor} edit: 10th edition and newer
{Archangel of Strife}
{Divine Reckoning}
{Captain of the Watch}
Just to name a couple. Check those, click his name and browse, every single artwork is very well done.
I'm going to go old school with Anson Maddocks.

I have a foil Archdemon of Greed. Not using it if you want to trade. :)
My favorite artist is {blood artist}..

Seems legit.
Carl critchlow is my favorite for doing {silvos, rogue elemental} and {innocent blood}. I also find the crisp details of bruna, light of alabaster to be jaw dropping but I don't know the artist of that one
Dude. Anything by the foglio's is awesome. Sometimes I'm unsure if I truly dislike their work, or if it's so funny I actually love it. Hmm.
I've always liked Drew Tucker. {Murk Dwellers}, {Power Leak}, {Game of Chaos}, etc.

Wow. Awesome stuff. A true "artist" rather than an illustrator like the rest of the magic artists. I've always liked "musician", didn't think to look into the artist.

John Avon!
What has he done?
He does some of the best basic land art in magic. The un-lands were done by him. As well as some of the zendikar lands. Rob Alexander is an other I like. He has done some of the best non-basic land art. {watery grave}.

Ditto! I love the gritty, edgy, stylistic artwork rather than the direct depiction of what's happening.
Seriously, throw something nutty like a Jackson Pollock on a card.

I was hoping to see more gritty art in the Innistrad block. A few art pieces aside it just felt colonial/gothic.
Am I the only one that just loves Nils Hamm?
{Baleful Strix}
{Bone Splinters}
{Chancellor of the Spires }
{Deranged Assistant}
{Dungeon Geists}
Love his style!
Edit, ok Baleful Strix isn't in the database yet I guess, new planechase card. Wicked art

Winona Nelson is Bruna
Raymond Swanland is pretty great. Very sharp edges and angles.
{Vampire Nocturnus}
{Kresh, the Bloodbraided}
{Wurmcoil Engine}
{Into the Maw of Hell}
{Flame Slash}
And as I'm sure you know, selecting the artist's name under the card info shows a list of all cards they've done. :)
Kekai Kotaki has a knack for grand scale and stark texture. And his monsters look rad.
{Time of heroes}
{lorthos the tide maker}
{ikiral outrider}
{gaea's revenge} (the birds were a nice touch)
{autumn's veil}
Todd Lockwood is another favorite, can't believe I forgot to mention him or that no one else has either. The {Sun Titan} and {Moonveil Dragon} for example.
I'm gonna necro this thread because I realized that Véronique Meignaud is amazing! {Celestial Force}, {Mysteries of the Deep}, and {Summit Apes} are awesome in my opinion. And the real kicker is ZEN Island #236
How did no one mention my favorite, Steve Argyle?! He is amazing! {Liliana of the Veil}, {Celestial Mantle}, {Damia, Sage of Stone}, the alt art {Bloodbraid Elf}. Love his art!!

John Avon. IMO he does the best lands.
