Here's whom I can confirm for sure to add to your list...


Mark Poole
Ed Beard
Brian Snoddy
Rob Alexander
Dennis Detwiller
Ruth Thompson
Pat Morrissey
Jeff Menges
Randy Gallegos
Ron Spencer
Chris Rush

It was my first GenCon - such a blast!!! I have the Magic Portfolio GenCon '95 and that's where I pulled names from (to be sure) - there were more, but I can't say whom with absolute proof. Best of luck in your quest.

Take it easy,

Alexis,

I will try to find my playmats from that show, as they will likely have similar art from the same artists.

Thanks Mark :wink: Almost done, missing Artist 7, Artist 8 and confirmation of Randy Gallegos Artist 4 and Quinton Hoover as Artist 12 (But I have serious doubt that it's from him) as he was not supposed to be at Gencon 1995.

I ran across a picture of the artists at GenCon on Amy Webers Facebook page earlier today. They all had name tags, but hard to read. It's in her photo album " iOS Photos "

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater

18 people in picture. Might be a 1994 photo though, she's not sure.

a small detail. If you ask Dan about art #1 you will find that it was not commissioned for the Orcish Oriflamme but rather a different card in the set, which was rarely used and even more rarely remembered. The spear and dangles were added for the Oriflamme.

Trivia, I know, but at least to some, interesting. I don't know of other sets that used the same piece of art for more than one card.
