Carnivorous plant artists

What artists did things with Carnivorous Paltns (besides Darwin's son and Allen Lowrie). Ha. Well I am taking the definition of Artist widely as possible. So Can anyone think of anyone else.
 
i remember someone had computer drawings of nepenthes somewhere...

pretty cool.
 
I'm not famous like those other guys but I made a limited edition Nepenthes inermis pitcher plant trap model kit and a set of 4 etched Nepenthes wine glasses a year or so ago.

You can see the model kit here:

I wanna publish a CP coloring book someday when I have time/energy to do so.
 
Hehehe, my friend Robin (author of the internet phenomenon "We Drink Ritalin") photoshopped this one night while I was showing him photos of Neps here on the boards. I don't remember who's pic this was originally - if you want me to take it down, please PM me and accept my humble apologies in advance. It sure is a pretty one though!

She was world traveller, and artist back in the day. We saw the gallery of her botanical paintings last year at Kew.

There is a magnificent sculpture/collection of bronze nepth pitchers at the Atlanta airport on the international concourse. At the Attlanta Botanical gardens there is a nepth chandlier that hangs in the special collections house surrounded by Nepths by Dale Chihuly.
 
I've done several sketches and one crappy painting of VFTs, and I recently did a large sketch of a N. ventricosa pitcher.
