Lost Pictures, Lost Visions, by Damir Radic (3/10/08): The first half of the 20th century was marked by radical ideas and the creation of the new technologies. The evidence of the time, photographs and posters, still carry the strength of this lost era.
To Meet You, by Kathi Day (2/11/08): I don't think to myself "Ah, today is a cat day." when I wake up, but sometimes I think "Ah, today was a cat day." when I go to sleep. (It can be very frustrating to have a dragon day when you need to draw a cat.)

In Moebius's Shadow, by Nate Simpson (4/9/07): I've always felt slightly guilty about getting paid to do this sort of art—how could something so fun be worth actual money? Come to think of it, I need to remember to check the classifieds for professional tiramisu-tasting positions.
Innovari, by Luca Oleastri (3/12/07): In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines.

A Magpie's Hoard, by Maral Agnerian (9/11/06): I simply find the human form beautiful, especially the female, and I love lush textures, rich colours, and fine details, so I try to impart all those things into everything I create.

Gallery, by Patrick McEvoy (1/9/06): My biggest single influence is probably Jim Steranko—as a comics artist of course, but mostly as a cover illustrator. Luckily, or maybe not, I don't seem to have ended up with a style that looks too much like any of my favorite artists.

Gallery, by Autumn Domoslai (12/13/04): It is Autumn's firm belief that Magick abounds all around us if only we take the time to seek it, and sometimes it can be seen through the eyes of one who has walked the Sacred Paths and treacherous trails and brought back the old stories and legends of romance and valour, of courage and sacrifice.
