Like most of my cartoon figures, this one is open in the back to make balancing easier and exploding in the kiln less likely. Therefore, sadly, this Bender has no shiny metal ass to kiss.

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.

Bender
This is the latest in a series of cartoon figures. I like how it came out even though I think it looks less like Bender and more like a guy in a Bender suit.
