Fortunately, her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.galendara.com\/portfolio\">portfolio<\/a> on her website shows a bunch of really lovely work. I can't link to specific images, but if you page through the portfolio, there are dates on the lower right corners of most of them, and there are a bunch of great pieces from 2013.<\/dd>\n  <dt>Julie Dillon<\/dt>\n  <dd>Her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliedillonart.com\/\">main page<\/a> now shows a bunch of images (scroll down to see them) with publication years clearly visible in text below them. I would love to see all Hugo-nominated artists do exactly this from now on. A couple from 2013 that I especially like: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliedillonart.com\/project-view\/ancient-discovery\/\">Ancient Discovery<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliedillonart.com\/project-view\/desert-dragon\/\">Desert Dragon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.juliedillonart.com\/project-view\/long-hidden\/\">Long Hidden<\/a>. (Not sure whether Long Hidden counts for 2013 or 2014, though; the book that it's the cover art for didn't come out until January 2014, I think.)<\/dd>\n  <dt>Daniel Dos Santos<\/dt>\n  <dd>I like his cover for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dandossantos.com\/gallery\/full\/gallery_kalimpura.htm\">Kalimpura<\/a>, which had a 2013 release date, but the art was done (and shown publicly online) in 2012, so I'm not sure which year it counts for.<\/dd>\n  <dt>John Harris<\/dt>\n  <dd>This image is in the packet, but I think the presentation somehow makes it look better here: <a href=\"http:\/\/whatever.scalzi.com\/2014\/05\/29\/john-harris-on-john-harris\/#jp-carousel-24552\">The Twin Parliaments of Pyrrhus<\/a>. I'm not sure why I like this version better; maybe just a black background makes it stand out more than in my standalone image viewer?<\/dd>\n  <dt>John Picacio<\/dt>\n  <dd>Here's his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnpicacio.com\/portfolio\/2013\/\">2013 work<\/a>. About half of it was in the packet, but I like a couple of the ones that weren't in the packet better than most of the ones that were.<\/dd>\n  <dt>Fiona Staples<\/dt>\n  <dd>I found a page of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.essentialsequential.com\/Fiona-Staples_c_37.html\">her prints<\/a>, almost all from <cite>Saga<\/cite>, but I can't tell when any of them were published. I guess <cite>Saga<\/cite> vol. 2 is a good place to look for her art?<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this year&#8217;s Hugo voter packet, five pro artists provided samples of their work.
