Today, a roving mob of married, middle-aged D&D geeks recognized this as a Beholder and bought it.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in the medium of stoneware clay for 21 years, developing a practice rooted in literal construction and obsessive repetition. He makes non-traditional ceramics in a medium built on tradition, exploring the overlap between wonder and revulsion. Subject matter includes sympathetic monsters, insects, opossums, fast food mascots, and Halloween kitsch.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.

4th Avenue Street Fair
This weekend was the Fourth Avenue Street Fair in Tucson. My offerings included some mushrooms, Grell Shroom 1, Beholder 6 (The Bad-Dental-Hygiene Beholder), several skull stars and USA-shaped surrealist objects.
