Monster Cat! Scroll to see more 👉 It took quite a bit of practice to make sumi ink paintings I was happy with. Now I need to find some nice paper to mount them on... On a side note, my daughter and I spent nearly an hour on Google translate trying to figure out what type of hair each of my Chinese ink brushes is made of. 💜 #yokai #yokaiart #sumiink #sumiepainting #inkpainting #monstercat #catofinstagram #japanesebrushpainting #inkbrush #painting #artistic #artworkpromotion #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artfeature #artpage #100daysofart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTIFgjylB3w/?utm_medium=tumblr
OMUKADE Man-eating Centipede 🐛 I’m feeling bittersweet as I get close to finishing my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel. It’s been a great adventure in pushing my illustrations and my storytelling. I hope you will love it as much as I do when it’s released late this summer. 💜🥰 . I want to give a big virtual hug to my Patrons who have supported me and have been enjoying all the behind the scenes process (and tears) for this book. I love you all: 💜 Trevor C. 💜 Bryan J. 💜 Chuck P. 💜Dani D. 💜Becca F. 💜 Alexis L. 💜 Amanda H.

Mythic Mail Letters From Japan book secrets: 👺Today’s Easter egg (super top secret hidden gem) is this illustrated postcard featuring the Bura-Bura, or haunted paper lantern. The characters that make his eyes and nose are called “henohenomoheji” using Japanese hiragana. It’s a little joke that these characters look like a face when arranged on paper. The eyes are “no”, the nose is “mo”. Not pictured are “he” for the eyebrows and mouth and “ji” for the outline of the face. ✨Link to the book in my bio✨ . #burabura #haunted #hauntedattraction #foxfire #kitsune #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfRhasJ8or/?utm_medium=tumblr
WORK IN PROGRESS 🖤 I am my own best hand model. I have no idea where this one’s going (as with everything I draw), but it will likely be weird. I’m a little frustrated with having hands lately and it’s coming out in my work. I think some dead flowers might be in order… 🖤 #ursaink #DrawingHands #DrawingHandsHard #handmodel #artisanoutlet #WeirdArt #DarkArt #MacabreArt #MacabreArtwork #DarkArtwork #FantasyArtist #FantasyArt #CaliforniaArtist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAx5-DMGvt/?igshid=1b52p68yo56ni
#MarchMeetTheMaker 🐆Today’s Prompt inspired me to make a mini video of what my typical day looks like. You’ll also get a little peek of some of my animals in my morning routine. ✨ @joannehawker #MeetTheArtist2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheMaker #StudioSpace #StudioTour #artistsoninstagram (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMA3BM8gjkg/?igshid=1wbdn4f5uoyen

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
Working on my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel. I have my nose to the grind stone so don’t talk to me for the next 2 months 😂. Kidding... kind of. . #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artworkpromotion #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist #mythicalcreatures #japanesefolklore #yokai #indiebooks #illustratednovel #japaneseculture #mythologyart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPgwcS8s47p/?utm_medium=tumblr
My first complete paint pour + gouche x glitter resin = experiment. I will have them up in my s h 💜p once a smooth out the edges. These were super fun to make so I plan to do more. ✨✨✨ #ursaink #cheetahprintwall #glitterresin #paintpouring #paintpouringart #paintpourart #paintpour #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartwork #mixedmediapainting #bluepurplepink (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK64wj_MZP9/?igshid=hamywp1yy799
#MarchMeetTheMaker 🌙 On Your Desk 🐆”On your desk” is today’s prompt from @joannehawker . Since I use a tilted drawing desk, it makes it a little complicated to show you what I have on my desk. So this is what sits directly behind me. When I do my art classes with grade school students this is the background that they see. When I twirl around in my chair because I’m not entirely a grown-up, I get to look at my fun, golden leopard print wall. 🐆 I keep all of my markers, sketchbooks, unfinished paintings (we all have an abundance of those), My printer, button maker, and packaging supplies all around me on my shelves. And I also have my troll (masked up 😂🤦♀️) sitting beside me. 🐆 Today’s Prompt also inspired me to make a mini video of what my typical day looks like. And you’ll get a little peek of all of my animals in my morning routine. 🖤 #ursaink #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheArtist2021 #FemaleArtist #MeetTheMaker #artistsoninstagram #StudioSpace #animalprintlover #studiotour #artdesk (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMApxfUMZB2/?igshid=n6ewikgfr6vr
A little work in progress shot. Wednesdays are kind of long work days for me so it can be hard to put a pin in it and get my other work done. 😭 Gotta bring home a little bacon.
