Hugo Roundup: Best Professional Artist

The art categories (both of them) are always gorgeous, although I would like to see more different mediums in the professional category. It appears economics are such that jewelers and the like always end up in fan artist.

• Tommy Arnold
• Rovina Cai
• Galen Dara
• John Picacio
• Yuko Shimizu
• Alyssa Winans

My pick: Tommy Arnold

My prediction: John Picacio

(Picacio has popularity and fame other than as an artist that will likely put him over the edge).
