About
I’m Anna. I’m small. I like making pastries, drawing, grocery shopping, eating fruit, drinking tea and hanging out with my tortoise, Bowser. Bowser and I moved to the Very Big City so I could go to pastry school and he could become a Tortoise of High Society. Or just hang out in his bucket all day; he’s a pretty laid-back dude. I recently finished school and scored a job at a great restaurant in the East Village which surprisingly leaves me with more free time than school ever did…so hopefully updates will be more regular and art will be more plentiful!
I also sell silly paintings of animals with food, which I will be doing directly from this site starting any day now. If you are interested in purchasing a painting you’ve seen before or have a question or commission request, you can email me at anna@verysmallanna.com or use the comment form on the shop page.
Where do I get my ideas? I don’t know. Probably just a somewhat-focused overactive imagination. Why do I do the things I do? Because no one has told me I can’t.
This blog design was thought up by me and executed most perfectly by my totally rad boyfriend Zack Brand. He could build one for you, too!
