Lolth in all her big-assed glory:
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramicist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
Self-taught artist on the autism spectrum. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, horror comedy, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – and all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme. I’m just frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can until I’m no longer able to do so.
This blog has served as a record of my ceramic output since 2006.

Lolth Icon
This is an image of the demon goddess Lolth, based on the callipygian drawing from the AD&D Fiend Folio. It's intended to be not so much a representation of Lolth than an icon, a statue than could be found on the altar in Drow households throughout the Underdark, a holy object to which every good Drow youngster might be encouraged to whisper his or her every infraction against the Drow lifestyle (such as spiders inadvertently trampled) as well as secrets about his or her parents so that they might be punished accordingly.
