One of the best fantasy artists out there (after Brian Froud, of course) is Amy Brown. She does paintings of fairies, elves, dragons, etc. She has an ethereal sense of beauty and a quirky sense of humor.

I ordered Bookworm, Companions, and Gargoyle as birthday presents for myself from Mystic Dreams Shoppe.
