The artist spotlight is on JD Robinson, a visual creator from right here in Oregon. He specializes in simple looking drawings done with a single line - no lifting the pen or stopping and starting. It's actually fairly difficult to achieve, but Robinson has done hundreds of these line drawings, creating expressive images with great economy.

His drawing appears with a story by author Max Rauhman called "Tuesday Evenings". What if your greatest enemy is yourself and the lines between reality and hallucination merge? Explore the terrifying terrain of the unhealthy mind in the Autumn 2025 issue of the magazine. Order at www.Illustratedworldsmagazine.com

Regular contributing artist, Nick Stevens, appears in the latest issue of the magazine with his image "Silver". Nick's work appeared on the Summer 2025 cover, and there's rarely an issue that doesn't feature his talent. We appreciate all of the art he so willingly shares with our readers.

This image brings a visual component to author Jon Clendaniel's fractured fairy tale. You can find both in the Autumn 2025 issue of Illustrated Worlds Magazine.

The artist spotlight is on Bailey Moore. This recent transplant to Florida is attending art college right this very minute, but we're happy she took time out of her studies to let us publish "Solace" in the Autumn 2025 issue of the magazine.

Her piece is paired with the story "The Pipe Organ on the Cliff" by Catherine Yeates. Visit an island in the afterlife and meet a few of the dead while you're at it in this beautiful tale of finding the heart of your soul after mortality is gone.
