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 😂.

I just finished updating my shop with these scene study paintings. I am so happy with how they turned out and I really appreciate all the love they have gotten this week. . If you wander over to my shop, you will be able to see the third Ghibli scene study that I have not posted yet on social media. ✨🖤✨ #UrsaInk #KikisDeliveryService #Greenhouse #GardenGreenhouse #WatercolorPainting #GouachePainting #GhibliScene #ghibli #artstudy #spiritedaway #shopupdate #sketchbookpage #sketchbooktour #10kartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsxoIBMulC/?igshid=96n8xuh8jw9s

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

#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

My neighbors moved, not recently, and I was the beneficiary of many pads of paper. I will definitely be using these up with some classes I’m enrolled in for this year.
