Pie! I Think The World Would Be So Much Better With More Pie.

Two things I am constantly reminding myself of is that sketchbooks don’t need to be perfect, and that not every drawing needs to become a finished piece. I happen to like this pose so I may do something with it, but it’s nice to give yourself the leniency to simply create with no expectations. 💞✨💞 #ursaink #sketchbookart @ohuhuart #ohuhumarkers #sketchbookpage #sketchysketch #markersketch #sketcheveryday #sketchbooktour #brainbreaks #artbreak (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKU8fYDMZ84/?igshid=2y2c1n9xyobj

I painted this family portrait a month ago. Let’s be honest— we only care about close ups of the doggos 👉👉 Baldur the Mastiff and Valkyrie the German Shepherd. 💜 Oh, and their parents. .

One of our family stories is Krampus. You could say I’m a little obsessed. We also have Julbock. But no Santa. Who brings your holiday gifts? (Or beatings?)

This week I am teaching grade school students to make flip books. Always a fun project! We’re starting with the bouncing ball... animation 101. Quite a few of the older students knew what onion skins were from using animation apps on their phones, but had never used the same technique using paper. ✨🤜🤛✨ #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #artteacherlife #bouncingballanimation #flipbook #flipbooks (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFSVH8sGkU/?igshid=mg9yoq0pskmp

✨ Tanuki Tuesday!!! 💜 This should be a thing. Real life tanuki, Japanese “raccoon dogs”, are adorable and their mythic counterparts are charmingly mischievous. It’s hard not to love these little characters. . Mythic Mail, Letters From Japan is being released September 1st!!! I’m so excited! 🥳🤩🤩🤩 . #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical #tanuki #tanukijapan #raccoondog (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTP2X0KpPjU/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is one of my favorite recent pieces. I have it as the wallpaper on my phone right now. We get snow well into March so I thought it was fitting. ❄️ ⛄️ ❄️ . #ursaink #barnowl #barnowlart #whiteowl #winterscene #winterscenery #snowday❄️ #snowytrees #winterart #wintersnow #owllove #fantasyart #fantasyartwork #fantasyillustrations (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKy4in5Malc/?igshid=4m3xsxgqi4xm

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ IN USE 🖤 Tag me when you receive your Mythic Mail... in the mail. March letters were sent out last week, but I’d LOVE to see you with your letters. US subscriptions should arrive any day if they haven’t already. 🖤 I also make stickers and art prints and buttons, but this is by far my favorite “useable” art. 🖤 I like to think that Mythic Mail makes my art more consumable. I give a handful of people around the world something fun to look forward to in the post. 🖤 #ursaink #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #mythicmail #mailsubscriptions #monthlysubscription #artinuse #artdaily #snailmail #inuse @joannehawker (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMWD47is8eE/?igshid=qkb3n0ay4nhb

What is your favorite stone/gem? Rock junkies unite! Azurite brought to you by a fun collab art challenge with @dulce_somnium_art . I love azurite not only because of its deep color, but because it is ground up and used as a painting pigment. Plus, the hunk of azurite from my rock collection is so sparkly and raw. 💜Follow @ursa.ink for more! (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTfCciMDk8/?utm_medium=tumblr

You guys, let’s start hanging out next week! 💜 Every Monday and Wednesday we can chill to some lofi (👈 see how hip I sound?!) and make some mini comics, zines, marker sketches, and digital illustrations together. Let’s make art! Or you can just hangout while I do all the work... I’m cool with that. Keep me company. 💜 Live Art Streams on YouTube and Twitch as well as “watch later” options. I hope you will join me for some art and chill. 😘 🥳 BONUS BIRTHDAY STREAM JULY 3! 🎂 . #artchannel #livestreams #liveart #artstream #twitchstream #youtubelive #youtubestream #youtubeartist #youtubeart #markerdrawing #markerart #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitalarts #sketching #sketchbookart #draweverydamnday #chillvibe #liveart https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZ1pHtMybP/?utm_medium=tumblr
