I didn’t want you all to feel bereft of your weekly dose of Anika, but I honestly don’t have any art I can post today. I’ve spent the last week getting ready for my 5 year anniversary and planning this month’s “Tutorials of the Month.” I’m writing two new tutorials for this month, which will hopefully be up tomorrow (I’ll post here and let you know).
As for my anniversary…this week’s art project is a present for my fiance. Sunday is our anniversary, so I will post pictures of the present then. I would post them today, but don’t want to risk the chance of him seeing them. I think he’ll like the present though; I put a lot of time and – we’ll say “love” for lack of a better word – into it.
While I’m not posting my own art today, below is a beautiful and original piece by an amazing artist that I highly recommend taking a look at.
The Witchetty blog is written by Bee Joynes, a wonderful artist who is quickly creating her own style of artwork. Personally, I describe Witchetty as Tim Burton meets Disney (rather like "The Nightmare Before Christmas"). It has a slightly gothic feel, while still being warm and adorable.
Each of her characters are uniquely beautiful and each has their own unique expression and personality reflected in the paintings. Below is a taste of Bee Joynes artwork. Visit her site for more!

Oh thanks so much for the lovely mention. I haven't had nearly enough time to create lately because of my studies and this was a delightful surprise.
Reply to Bee Joynes:
I was glad to feature you! I love your art and it is a pleasure to recommend your blog to other art lovers. ^.^
I know what you mean about not having enough time to create. I'm always wishing for more time in the day and, unfortunately, it is usually art that gets pushed to the backburner on busy days. Still, it is always a pleasure to see something new on your blog.
Cute pics. Looking forward to the unveiling on Sunday. ^.^

P.S. I'm way behind commenting on your last few postings. Lots of interruptions lately regarding real estate and tweaking some pages on my website. Love the Twitvader and all the buttons. Will comment more soon.

Glad you like TwitVader and the buttons too. ^.^ They were fun to create.
