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

Testing out some color ideas in preparation for Mythtober 2021 ✨ My newest plan is to make each mythic creature square (individual prompt days) into a cumulative poster print. So the little square backgrounds will link up and make a huge gradient background. Hope that makes sense. I can’t wait for Mythtober art challenge to begin! Just a few more days… 💜👻💜👺💜 .

I’m going to experiment today. I am painting the under layer with my pretty Japanese watercolors and then I’ll try doing a top layer with gouache. I have a new watercolor sketchbook that I want to fill with Ghibli landscape studies and Sailor Moon screenshots... because why not?! 💜 #ursaink #workinprogress #artworkinprogress #watercolorpainting #komorebiwatercolor #japanesewatercolor #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #ghiblilandscape #ghibliscenery (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfn_7FsWXf/?igshid=10un0qorsv6ww

What is your favorite mythical creature? This kappa isn’t necessarily my favorite, but I do find his whole story morbidly hilarious. 💜 All the behind the scenes details on this new book in my Clubs! 💜 #ursaink #kappa #kappacreature #japanesefolklore #japanesemythology #yokai #japanmythology #mythicalcreatures #mythicalcreature #mythicalart #mythicalbeast (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbAA42MqYn/?igshid=118pyi4njf0de

#MarchMeetTheMaker 💜 WORK IN PROGRESS 📚I always have 5 million “works in progress”, but my biggest project right now is my Mythic Mail book. Mythic Mail is a monthly snail mail adventure in letter form that i have an incredible amount of fun creating. 📚 I have loved creating it so much so that I wanted to take the adventure to Japan. Japan has such a rich monster culture. There are tons of creatures and tales to explore! It was hard to choose just a handful to explore. 📚 I have almost half of the main illustrations finished. Then I will move onto the writing and spot illustrations. Here I have my main sketches remaining and if you scroll, my book cover mockup. 📚 I am hoping to publish and release my Mythic Mail book sometime in late summer 2021. My Patrons in my Behind the Scenes Club are seeing all the illustration progressions and creature lists. 💜 . #ursaink @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meetthemaker #workinprogress #workinprogressart #meettheartist2021 #artaccount #indiebook #indiebooks (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKvud2sXRJ/?igshid=y00cvmdyhqbi

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?)

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

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
