1. Renee French

"French is certainly one of the more acclaimed comics artists of the past decade-plus; it’s fairly rare that a review of whichever anthology she’s currently contributing to doesn’t single her out as one of the highlights of the enterprise, and her pamphlet-format books have garnered a strong following." -Jog the Blog
Edward Gorey-esque Illustrator Renee French uses more feather-thin textures than line to delineate forms, with an admirable sensitivity to the grain of her paper. Her books & graphic novels are filled with imagery that often toes that popular line between body-horror grotesque & baby-shower cuteness.
2. Lisa Evans:

"Journeys & processes, subtle narratives & subplots. I like the merging of fact & fiction & the endless possibilities an image provides."
Wften working in acrylics on gesso & pencil "fluffed up in photoshop," Evans recently finished her first children's book, Orwellian The Flower by John Light and published by Child's Play. She has been focusing on 3-d imaging & design as she works on her current project.

Acclaimed comics artist-writer Nilsen has a delicacy of line and obsessive quality to his texturing that draws the reader in as if his investment speaks to the viewer's own, no matter how straightforward his concept or joke is. Also, his handwriting looks kind of like mine! He's been nominated for the Ignatz Award and was anthologized in the 2006 Best American Comics. He makes a lot of work, currently an ongoing comic series called Big Questions, for Drawn & Quarterly.
