Such a shame that 'ol Phil doesn't create art for Magic, as he was my favorite artist.

Any know what his latest work has been?

My favorite artwork from him is on the card Apathy.

Moved to General Discussion.
The Foglios are working on their webcomic Girl Genius as their primary project of late I believe. They may be doing other fantasy art as well but not really for any games that I've seen.

I do miss their M:tG art, and I wish they could have been commissioned for Unstable, but I do understand the opinions of others (especially those in the Creative department) who think that their whimsical cartoonish art can be a tonal mismatch with a lot of settings. However, they would absolutely be perfect for illustrating Bablovia.

I didn't know the Foglios used to work on MtG cards. As a long-time Girl Genius fan, I look at certain, uh, shots of protagonist Agatha in that comic, and I do wish they'd do some artwork for some of MTG's own leggy ladies. Chandra's steampunk theme feels like it would be right up their alley.

... Err, of course I only wish this because I think of the potential artistic value involved. Yeah.

I loved discovering their new cards when I started playing. That cartoonish style was really great for some cards back then.

Mirror Universe, Rainbow Vale and Sulfurous Springs might be my favorite art of them.
