BOB EGGLETON
 is a 
science fiction
,
 
fantasy
, and
 
horror
 
artist
. Eggleton has been honored with the
 
Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist
 
eight times, first winning in 1994. He also won the 
Hugo Award for Best Related Book
 
in 2001 for his art book "Greetings from Earth". He has also won the 
Chesley Award
 
for Artistic Achievement in 1999 and was the guest of honor at 
Chicon 2000
.

Eggleton's drawing and paintings cover a wide range of science fiction, fantasy, and horror topics, depicting space ships, alien worlds and inhabitants, dragons, vampires, and other fantasy creatures. His view on space ships were that they should look organic, and claimed that as a child, he was disappointed with the space shuttles and rockets NASA produced; they were nothing like fantasy artists of the twenties and thirties had promised. His fascination with dragons originated with his childhood interest of dinosaurs, which can be seen in the book
 
Greetings from Earth
. His paintings are commissioned and bought at science fiction conventions, and used as book covers.

Eggleton has illustrated cards for the 
Magic: The Gathering
 
collectible card game. Eggleton received massive encouragement from his father, in the form of books, supplies, visits to museums of space and aeronautics and support during the career choices he made. Eggleton dropped out of his art college, because he felt it was not for him. Eggleton is a fan of 
Godzilla
 
and worked as a creative consultant on 
the American remake
. While in
 
Japan
 
he appeared as an extra in one of the more recent films.
