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

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}

Gorzo

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.
