Well, I know these things happen, and James Jacobs was upstanding enough to alert me to the error. But I actually did the maps and handouts for the Challenge of Champions, not the inimitable Mr. Lazzareti.
Dangit!
Scary part is, I recognised your maps... But I like your work, so it only figures.
(Unrelated: Both the recent Downer chapter and the Downer Critical Threat were great, as was the illo of an Azer cooking breakfast on his head. Keep up the good work!)
Let me contribute to the Kyle Love-In by saying that I enjoyed the detail you put into the Dusklight Caravan illustration. One of my joys in submitting to Dungeon is seeing my words professionally illustrated and mapped, and the personality you put into Brias' portrait was quite rewarding. If he's ever of use to you in a Downer plot or elsewhere, I hope you won't hesitate to use him again. (Granted, as Paizo now holds the copyright on him, that's no longer for me to say.)

If it makes you feel any better, Kyle, we also mis-credited the artist for "Challenge of Champions VI." OH! And we misspelled "sorcerer" in the header for "The Mud Sorcerer's Tomb" also.
It's always exciting to see the errors that creep into the magazines around the convention season.
In any case... we're printing a correction in issue #139 to put proper credit where credit is due. And to help pay off the sin, Kyle... I'll buy the beer for the next Age of Worms game!

The Scorceror error was only repeated 15 times. I do wonder how a spellchecker does not catch that. I actually think they are trying to increase the value of the magazine. Maybe, they are in talks with Martin Scorcerorsese for the rights and are just trying to butter him up.
BTW, Great Maps Kyle. My victims (err, I mean players) enjoyed several this weekend and will get the rest in 2 weeks. Keep up the good work. I'll point out to them that you were misidentified, despite that fact I didn't mention it this weekend.
