I will completely agree that art isn't essential to an RPG; however, it helps. It gives a visual representation of the game, or at least it can. It makes for a good reference for GM's (ie...well, it looks like this) and makes a game look more polished to the average RPG reader. That said...
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get artist who would want to work on games? My only thoughts would be, if someone here already has one, maybe you could share even if they would only put up some pre-made pieces. Additionally I assume artist congregate like other groups, so maybe one would invite others. The other being, finding a site like this one for fantasy or sci-fi or steam punk...etc artists and trying to convince a few to join here. I hate to say spam their forum, but it would seem like the quickest although probably resulting in a lower grade of artist. And I'm with CA, I can't draw. I look at art I did when I was 8 and that's still the level I'm at.

PS. I wasn't good then either.
