🐉What Is Your Favorite Mythic Creature?🧞 I Have Spent The Last Three Days Formatting My Book For

#MeetTheMaker 😍 SILVER LININGS Has 2021 also been kind of a weird year for you so far? Not bad, just a little— awkward. 🌙 On going and residual Rona mandates have made the first quarter of 2021 awkward. I can’t think of any other suitable adjective. I have tried my best to stay off of the all mighty F😵 Book because of the constant drama and hatred from everyone. I have friends in every camp and it all is too extreme and too loud for me. 🌙 Which brings me to my silver linings: ⚡️ I have found an absolutely wonderful community of artists on Insta and TikTok that are very supportive and friendly. ⚡️ My Patrons have been super awesome this year. Especially since everything that’s been going on the last year has been really hard on a lot of people. So the support that I’ve been shown has been astounding. I love all my patrons, short and long term. ✨ ⚡️ I started a small group on Discord for fellow Patre⭐️ n creators to be a sounding board for one another. ⚡️ Residual closures have led me to buy all kinds of preset supplies... nope... would have done that anyway. 😉 ⚡️ And I have found the time for my daily creative practice and personal betterment. I couldn’t ask for more. #ursaink @joannehawker #MeetTheMaker2021 #FemaleArtist #FemaleIllustrator #ArtAccount #SmallBusiness #patreoncreator #patreonartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMsgzLesSdT/?igshid=1ldczedks1duy

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

Pie! I think the world would be so much better with more pie.

#MarchMeetTheMaker 🦓 PORTRAIT 🦓 Do you remember Fruit Stripe gum? And how every piece came with temporary tattoos? That used to be my favorite and this background in my self-portrait reminds me so much of the colorful zebra stripes. 🦓 Some things you may not know about me: other girls wanted a pony when they were little, I wanted a pet zebra. I have never gone “with the grain “ on anything in my life and I’m not sure I know how. 🦓 I am an avid reader. I have 16 tattoos, most of which are very large. I am a recovering bread-aholic. I also have a mini farm with sheep, goats, Rabbits, one duck, and two dogs. The German Shepherd is most certainly my husband’s dog. But Grimm, the fluffy Belgian Shepherd, is my dog. And I have an 11 year old daughter that doesn’t help with any of it. 😂 🦓 I have always been a real outdoorsy person. I love hiking, backpacking, camping, and I live for bonfires. I am also a USA archery certified instructor and run two Girl Scout troops, one of which is an outdoor adventure troop. . @joannehawker #ursaink #sarahcuthillartist #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMakerPortrait #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheArtist2021 #FemaleArtist #FruitStripeGum #80skid (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSUVIcMkFV/?igshid=13oq8pdryao03

What is the weirdest creature or myth you’ve heard of? The kappa is pretty high on my list of most bizarre. They love long walks on the shore, cucumbers, sumo, and raw offal right from the source… to put it nicely. 😂 . #kappa #japanesekappa #mythicmail #japaneseyokai #yokai #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSCrVK8J2CK/?utm_medium=tumblr

Monster Mash!

I can’t live without my water bottle. I’m one of those people that carries it everywhere because otherwise I would forget to drink ANY water during the day. So of course I have to decorate my massive water bottle with my pretty stickers. 😍 . #ursaink #stickerclub #stickershop #trollstickers #kitsunesticker #alienstickers #alienmovie #xenomorph https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdTICRsTb1/?igshid=xn5b0sjydpxm

Another sketchy sketch because my day was filled with virtual classes and unloading a truck full of Girl Scout cookies. So obviously, if you have an itch for cookies, I know a girl. 😉 She does direct shipping. 🍪 . #ursaink #sketchbookdrawing #sketchbooktour #markersketches #ohuhumarkers #alcoholmarkers #sketchysketch #draweveryday #draweverydamnday (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKyrAIs7cI/?igshid=2qw9hm9b9mbu
