Ian Miller (born 11 November 1946) is a British fantasy illustrator and writer best known for his quirkily etched gothic style and macabre sensibility, and noted for his book and magazine cover and interior illustrations, including covers for books by H. P. Lovecraft and contributions to David Day’s Tolkien-inspired compendiums, work for Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and various role-playing and wargaming publications, as well as contributions to the Ralph Bakshi films Wizards and Cool World.
Robert Gibson Jones(1889-1969) Working name of American illustrator Robert Gibson Jones. After some art training in Chicago, he worked mostly in advertising for two decades before becoming, in 1942, a regular cover artist for Ziff-Davis publications. In addition to covers for their non-genre titles like Mammoth Adventure, Mammoth Detective, and Mammoth Western, Jones painted 90 covers for Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures; later in the 1950s, he painted covers for Universe Science Fiction, Other Worlds, and Mystic Magazine. He also did some interior art.
Jones’s vivid, stimulating cover illustrations, reminiscent of Earle K Bergey’s in some respects, often had an Arabian Nights feel about them, displaying exotically costumed characters and a fondness for beautiful, dark-haired women; one celebrated cover, for the August 1950 issue of Amazing, featured the face of a woman wearing a bejewelled headband materializing above a mountain range to a group of grounded space travellers. Placing a positive spin on his proclivities, Brian W Aldiss in Science Fiction Art (1975) quotably said that Jones “made champagne of the myth of technological progress: the wish that frontiers beyond the Moon will yield adventure, power and romance.” But one could say with equal justice that his distinctly old-fashioned visions of the future, recalling the imagery of historical romances, lacked any genuine resonance with the futuristic spirit of sf.
Kelly Freas (August 27, 1922 – January 2, 2005) was an American science fiction and fantasy artist with a career spanning more than 50 years. He was known as the “Dean of Science Fiction Artists” and he was the second artist inducted by the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.

Cherryh, Stephen King, Gene Wolfe, Michael Moorcock, and Raymond E. Feist, among others. Two compilations of his work have been published, Dreamquests: The Art of Don Maitz, and First Maitz.

Richard Hescox is an Imaginative Realist painter whose long artistic career, initially as an illustrator, and more recently as a fine artist creating personal paintings and commissions, has evolved towards the goal of rediscovering the forgotten esthetic sensibilities of the late 19th century fantasy painters who are his major influence. His newer works maintain the same imagination and sense of wonder as his illustrations, but without the editorial constraints of his commercial clients.
