Fan Artist Hugo comments and ballot

Behind the cut

Geneva Benton was my nominee and I love her stuff.

Grace P. Fong has some cool stuff on her website but I'm not really interested in anything in the packet.

Likhain was also my nominee and I also love her stuff.

Maya Hahto's mascot for the previous Worldcon was pretty adorable. Hard to not like a polar bear in a spacesuit or a steampunk costume.

Spring Schoenhuth is, as ever, Spring Schoenhuth.

Steve Stiles is, as really ever, Steve Stiles.

So, oof. Bottom three were easy, top three are hard! Person awards are hard because it's a little tempting to say "well, Geneva Benton might produce more amazing covers for Fiyah in 2018, whereas Hahto's bear is clearly a one-time thing", and then, also, Benton didn't actually put my favorite of her pieces from the Hugo-eligible things wiki into the packet, does that mean anything. But I think this is my ranking.

1. Geneva Benton
2. Maya Hahto
3. Likhain
4. Grace P. Fong
5. Spring Schoenhuth
6. Steve Stiles
