Not directly relevant to finding an illustrator, but relevant to designing the illustrations... did you see http://oscarbonilla.com/2009/05/visualizing-bayes-theorem/ ? I find the Venn Diagram visualization of Bayes Theorem to be the most intuitive.

I was very impressed with the simplicity of the Venn diagrams. Making a more intuitive explanation of Bayes Theorem than Bonilla's won't be easy, but obviously it's a worthy cause.

A Venn Pie chart is very intuitive and shows ratios better than Venn diagrams: http://oracleaide.wordpress.com/2012/12/26/a-venn-pie/

Well dang. I had some musings about how you could visualize Bayes theorem by having a grid of colored pixels and then tests would be loose-fitting circles, but I guess that works just as well.

If we're plugging visualizations of Bayes, I happen to like this one. :-)
