Artist of the Week: Donato Giancola

Over the past three weeks, we've look at Kev Walker, Todd Lockwood, and Anthony S. Waters, three of John Avon's four favorite artists.

Donato Giancola was the fourth and final name on the list, so let's check out his art!

      

Donato's first work showed up in October of 1996 in Mirage with Village Elder, Amber Prison, Grinning Totem, and Moss Diamond.

    

In the Mirrodin Block, Donato worked on the cards that create a legendary creature token and are also the art that resemble the set symbols. Also from Mirrodin is Chrome Mox.

Later, in Ravnica, Donato illustrated three guild leaders and two guild champions.

    

  

There were also three powerful artifacts with art by Donato:

    

Of course, Donato also has done the art for a pretty powerful and popular creature for Commander, at least for five-color decks.
