It's hard to seriously consider Jill Neal's pictures art. As printed images on coffee cups and greeting cards and wine labels and tote bags they are witty, joyful, delightful, inventive and just a heck of a lot of fun. But serious art they're not. In celebration of International Women's Month B2

Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live has returned, at least for the time being.
