#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
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?)

#marchmeetthemaker 💜 BELIEFS & VALUES ✨ The first thing that comes to mind is my whole reason for starting Ursa Ink: Just be WEIRD! ✨ I can not count the times I have shown someone my sketches or something I was drawing only to receive a long pause followed by, “Hmm. Okay.” or “... that’s... different”. ✨ I have learned to embrace my weirdness. My art isn’t for everyone and that’s alright. I rather create things I am passionate about and make me happy than to always cater to the taste of others. It is difficult to wait for your fans to find you. But I rather have only a handful of fans than comprise on my own sincerity in my work. ✨ All I can do is continue down my weirdo path— making art that puts an awkward smile on my face. 💜 #ursaink @joannehawker #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2021 #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist2021 #meettheartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9_uARMGMI/?igshid=1t05wfkbopafx
Work in progress ✨ This doggo is joining his German Shepherd friend in the commission I’m working on.

✨Ukiyo-e inspired excerpt from my Mythic Mail Japan book coming in September! ✨ Follow @ursa.ink for more. 💜 . I have always adored and admired the simplicity of Ukiyo-e style art. In reality, it is very difficult to create... for me it is anyway. Not coincidentally, Camellia is the name of my daughter so I kind of snuck her into my book. 😉 Are you familiar with Ukiyo-e Japanese art?
