Kate Boxer
So whilst wondering around Shaftesbury with Cherub the Great I encountered a chair on a corner of a street with a pile of the magazine [Evolver], who also have a penchant for parentheses and whirly-gigs, and as I am a fan I snatched one up immediately, because I'm a curious creature and free stuff is normally better and more satisfying than anything that needs exchangement of paper with queens heads printed on them.
I discovered Kate Boxer's work whilst browsing and became immediately intrigued, her animal pictures in print and paint were striking and used big block colours which I do love so, and a bleak, melancholic atmosphere, especially with that serene green background in that top picture up there.
So yeah colour me a fan of Kate boxer, great work. My favourite though, contradicting my love of colour is that snake image, it's strong and bold, composed and writhing, I don't know exactly why, it hits me just right and would love it on my wall.
If you're interested to see more, check out her website, lots of good quality images there
And, uh, more information than just me rambling, is available here

The snake image looks a lot like Clint Langley’s snake for the Iron Snakes logo. You can see it on the left shoulder of Calixus here: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/archive/5/51/20080617213715%21IronSnake.jpg
