San Francisco Mermaid 🧜♀️ 👉Scroll for close ups! 👉 I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area (EAST BAY 4EVA!) and as a kid, whenever we would cross the Bay Bridge or the Golden Gate Bridge, I would look for mermaids. I did see a whale once, so you never know. 😉 (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJAmRLMafJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am a closet button fanatic. How about you? I think buttons speak to that little part of me that likes to collect pretty little things, just for the sake of collecting. ✨🖤✨ #ursaink #buttonpins #pinbutton #buttoncollector #buttoncollection #pincollection #pincollector #artpin #artbuttonpins #makingbuttons #makingpins #supportsmallbusiness (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPsHdSswSS/?igshid=1h3nsco83mf9w
PAIN 🖤 Are there any visual artists out there without hand pain!? Doubt it. 😂 Trying a little different composition with this one, but the same super saturated colors I love. . #ursaink #fantasyart #fantasyartist #horrorart #10kartist #artoftheday #artaccount #macabreart #weirdart #weirdaesthetic #darkaesthetic #californiaartist #californiaart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNDVFjCssAk/?igshid=58l4ighr8awn
#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ Hi guys! I’m excited to participate in @joannehawker ‘s prompt list this month. 💜 Today I wanted to share my brand with you. I am Sarah and I started Ursa Ink last summer. My logo is a fun, vibrant purple with a bear holding an edelweiß flower. It both represents my Alpine heritage and the connection of bears to my life. The name Ursa Ink comes from the art of ink itself and also a little tip of the hat to my passion for astronomy. 💜 I created Ursa Ink in response to an urge to better myself during quarantine. My “regular” day job of teaching art to grade school students came to a sudden halt last year which led into summer. I began my mission to create art for MYSELF for a change. Weird art that I love to make and love to enjoy. 💜 I always say that I am a very mercurial person. Consistency drives me crazy! I like to create lots of different things in lots of different genres. The one thing that never changes is my primal drive to MAKE stuff with my hands. It makes me who I am. I don’t think I could suffer through this world without art. #ursaink #meetthemakermarch #meetthemaker2021 #meetthemaker #meettheartist2021 #meettheartist #artaccount #femaleartist #femaleartists (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL5peQ3MXJx/?igshid=t8kuqs8ih5bj

#MarchMeetTheMaker 🐹 HANDS ON Everything I do is “hands on”. I actually get antsy when my hands aren’t making something, drawing something, painting something, releasing that creative energy. I’m sure other creatives feel the same way. It is simply impossible to be hands off. #ursaink @joannehawker #hamstersofinstagram #hamster🐹 #hamsterlove #hamsterlover #hamsterselfie (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvWjfnsbkS/?igshid=efan8924y5dm
#MarchMeetTheMaker 😂 NEWEST MAKE 🤦♀️ My daughter made some bizzare comment last night about her 2021 Halloween costume idea: a monkey mask with a top hat and beard. 🤦♀️ And thus, APEraham Lincoln was invented. It was too funny to pass up a drawing opportunity like this. I had a half hour before calling it quits for the night so it was ON! . #ursaink @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meetthemaker #meettheartist2021 #newestmake #newestcreation #aperahamlincoln #abrahamlincoln #kidsareweird (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMC52DVsiV5/?igshid=6jkd8o1vf9pi
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?)
