Jill Thompson has been a professional comic artist for over 10 years, and her work spans a diverse array of projects and styles, from Wonder Woman, to the X-Files, to her own storybook creation "Scary Godmother".
Thompson brings Brief Lives to life with incredible vibrance and clarity, and no one is a bigger fan of her work on the book than Neil Gaiman, the Sandman creator and series writer.
Along with a plethora of other artists, Jill is illustrating a few pages per issue of the last four issues of the series (4, 3, 2, and 1), and in a very deliberate wink to long-time readers, Jill draws a scene that echoes strongly to her earliest work on the series.

 Honolulu Star-Bulletin Features
In fact, having met Thompson at the San Diego Comic Convention four years ago, I'd guess that with her blazing auburn hair, slender figure and energetic persona, Thompson herself seems to be the model for the spry and sassy Scary Godmother.
Thompson then landed a job at DC Comics, where she worked on Wonder Woman and also distinguished herself with her drawings for some of DC's mature-reader imprint Vertigo titles, particularly Neil Gaiman's acclaimed Sandman series, Grant Morrison's The Invisibiles and an overlooked co-creation with Will Pfeifer called Finals.
Besides all this, Thompson is an avid pro-wrestling fan, to the extent that she was tapped to do a project with the female Hulk herself, Chyna, that unfortunately fell through.

 Archive: Jill Thompson Sexism Watch - The Comics Journal Message Board   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I'm not necessarily convinced, in retrospect, that there's sexism involved in Jill's media profile, either on her end or on that of the magazines that talk to her; some folks are just easier on the eyes than others, which makes them an "easy sell" for pictures.
The criterion for putting Jill on the cover as their first photo cover as opposed to, say, George Lopez must be her femaleness, I guess.
If Jill Thompson runs cute photos of herself and thus snookers dopey male fans into checking out her work, more power to her.
