Ursula is a New Yorker who sometimes makes pictures and sometimes makes words, and often sits very very still and tries to pyrokinetically melt herself from the inside out. She graduated from Fiorello H. Laguardia (the "Fame") High School in 2002, bitter, but confident that things would be looking up real soon. She then went on to Parsons School of Design where she spent more money than she likes to think about on a single piece of paper. In 2007 she escaped Parsons with a surprising amount of her dignity still intact. These days she's still bitter, but pretty confident that things won't be looking much worse anytime real soon.
Sometimes Ursula draws dead babies. It's not cause she dislikes babies and wants them dead or anything; if you take her to the Natural History Museum she's liable to cry when she sees that family of elephants with the little dead baby elephant holding on to the dead momma elephant's tail. Ursula draws dead babies cause she's profoundly disturbed by the fact that dead babies exist in the Universe.
Same goes for lots of stuff she draws.
She's just working through it.
