Can it be? Everyone’s favorite year-end list is finally here! Yes, it may be deep into June of the following year, but I wasn’t going to let these fantastic artworks go unnoted as I begin culling my list for 2025. As always, these one hundred artworks are not ranked but are arranged in a diverse yet overwrought combination of art styles, shapes, and colors. As exhaustive as I attempt to be each year, there are always excellent covers I miss, so feel free to share them in the comments. Scroll to the bottom for the full 10×10 collage.
Enjoy the eye candy!
