Best Illustrator

Since I first spotted Emily Miller’s drawing of a fragile fawn wheat-pasted on a wall in Hillsboro Village five years ago, the artist has been among my favorite illustrators. She has moved beyond pretty woodland creatures, using her talents for direct social commentary and community fundraising. She designed a T-shirt emblazoned with a tipsy armadillo to raise money for Dino’s staff during COVID-19 and gathered funds for the ACLU with sales of a bumper sticker featuring a hungry alligator and the advice “Eat Racists.” A personal favorite is the pro-voting button that reads “Give a shit, VOTE!” along with a grinning dog taking a dump. Ha! Poop. Always funny. MEGAN SELING
