Yiying Lu is a Chinese-Australian illustrator and graphic artist. She was born in Shanghai and studied in Sydney and London. She is influenced by Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Shel Silverstein, among others. Lu currently resides in Sydney, where she is in high demand for commercial work.
Lu's commercial breakthrough came with
Lifting the Dreamer, an illustration for a birthday e-card. Microblogging service
Twitter acquired the work and it soon became iconic for that company as the "Fail Whale" -- a symbol of technical difficulties.
Five Minutes Metamorphosis (screen printed origami book, 2006).
I don't know what the title of this illustration is. But I think that it's awfully pretty.

Methinks she might actually live in Sydney. ;) You might want to udpate.
Oopsies. Fixed now.
You're right. Nice stuff, but "pretty?". Real men don't use the word pretty to describe art. {:^P

Sigh. Fine, JD. Whatever.How about this:
"That picture is so awesome, I want to dip my balls in it."
Better?
Only if it is your chocolate salty balls.
