The four on the top row are derived from the mold of "Buzzcut," the stern soldier doll kept around the studio for either anatomical purposes or for people who like to play with dolls. On the bottom row, the two claws are from Robot Goddess 1, which did not survive intact. The next three are from the alien eraser mold used to make the Dwarf Spirits, the minotaur eraser mold used to make the zombies, and the baby/bodhisattva face used for many purposes.

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.
