psocopteraFan artist is a confusing category for me. My pro artist nominees are all people I came across while I was wearing my SFF hat - they did covers or story illustrations for something I was reading. I see awesome fanart on a daily basis, but I encounter it while wearing my fandom hat. I'm not thinking about SFF awards nor are these works clearly being put forward as part of a conversation in the SFF world. But, can there really be said to be a coherent SFF world. Maybe fanartists are in fact fan artists.
I've decided to split the difference and nominate three people whose work I liked while browsing this Hugo Eligible Art Tumblr: Evgeny Hontor, Autun Purser, and Mandie Manzano, who was my second choice on last year's ballot.
And also two people from the fandom world: Marisha Lozada for her Korra art, and Julia Cross for the Avengers Tarot that I cannot find an original posting for, just reblogs.
(And I believe this is the last of my Hugo nomination posts... I stay out of related works, longform editor, fanzine, fancast, and fanwriter. Tune in some time in April for my reaction to the ballot, in June and July for my reviews of things I haven't already read, and in August for the rejoicing and deploring.)
