I am adding another new favorite artist to my list. I would just love a print or twelve from the fabulous artist Loish, aka Lois van Baarle. Her work ranges from somewhat cartoony and heavily graphic to the quietly atmospheric and painterly. Almost all her images have a lighthearted, playful quality, and the way she draws women is just too cute for words. She's another great example of someone who has an anime influence, but who has incorporated that influence into a well developed personal style. 
Plus, she loves fish.
What I really can't get over is her use of color. She does such a fantastic job of putting together a pallet that's lighthearted without being over-saturated or saccharine. Their really pretty earthy, at the base, with just a few pops of brighter accents. Plus, you have to admire someone whose studied all over the world, as she has. Her webpage can be found here: http://loish.net/ and I may just have to buy a calender off of her, if nothing else.
