In February BGG voted on the best game illustrators / graphic artists: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/19153

The result: a BGG Hall of Fame. In other words: this list.

In this list the top illustrators according to BGGers who voted on the first list. BGG picked these artists as the best. That may mean nothing, it may mean everything, I think it means: quite an impressive list of artists!

Here are the best game illustrators according to us:

She is a personal favorite. Her style fits the boardgame genre perfectly. Creative, colorful and amusing... makes the gameboard and pieces 'pop' and yet it is enjoyable for all age levels.
