Anna started making art in 2012, at 17 years old. She has grown a substantial following on Tumblr, with each of her drawings typically garnering a couple of thousand notes.
“I definitely started as a way to communicate small ideas as cute little comics, to make others laugh. I think being able to convey emotions through art is still one of the most important things to me. When I started I was going through a pretty tough patch in life and it definitely helped me to stay anchored to the ground, so to speak!”
Outside of art, Anna enjoys music, fashion, and studying different sciences.
“I’ve also recently picked up cooking and it’s made such a huge difference in my life, as well as being a nice break from working all the time!”
Anna derives inspiration from several renowned artists like Hiroshi Yoshida, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Taiyo Matsumoto. She is also inspired by those around her.
“I find that a lot of my close friends and art acquaintances are the most inspiring and always push me to do better and be a better person!”
You can support Anna by keeping up with her here on Tumblr, checking out her website, following her on Twitter, and buying some of her prints.

Adorable Miniature Illustrations by Brooke Rothshank
Miniature artist Brooke Rothshank has determinedly taken on a miniature art project, where she draws one tiny art a day to keep procrastination at bay. The artist has had extensive experience working with oils and acrylics, but explored minuscule art since she became preoccupied with the roles of becoming a mother. Rothshank has become a member, teacher and fellow of the International Guild of Miniature Artisans Guild School in Castine, Maine.
Focused on drawing approachable subjects- the softness in the detailed miniatures are inspired b everyday objects around Rothshank. This project was birthed in a bid to increase productivity and stay connected to her artistic compositions, however small they may be. The artist will resume creating commissioned pieces via her Etsy shop. No request is too bizarre for this artist, who is a mother of two young children. She and her husband, a ceramics artist, work together occasionally on various projects to highlight the niche of miniature art for the market. Find her work in her Etsy shop.

Often using images of himself in mundane situations, Inci transforms
simple snapshots into entrancing video loops. Believe us, these clips
will haunt your computer screen while you attempt to decipher the unique
patterns.” I post the GIF versions of original high definition video works of mine to this blog.

SugarmintsArtstore’s artist Lily is churning whimsical dreams of star-studded skies into beautiful graphic illustrations featuring Pokémon’s favorite characters. Blurring the borders between surrealism and reality, the artworks represent otherworldly scenes where the colors of night and day collide into a waking dream.
The sky is the subject where the violet, blue and purple shades mingle with white and cloudy textures that create a calm atmosphere. These pieces are simultaneously artistic and functional as décor. While fantasy is the theme of each illustration, the aesthetics are sublime, which make it adaptable to any purpose to which it is applied. SugarmintsArtstore transforms fantasy into breathtaking beauty within the frame of each artwork. Find them in her Etsy shop.
