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.

Surly Drunken Leprechauns

This week's session of D&D Encounters involves one of the great underappreciated D&D monsters: the leprechaun. Mine are going to tower over the PCs' plastic miniatures. They also look inebriated and surly. I would like to point out that I mixed the acrylic paint for the reddish hair myself (red and bronze).




Leprechauns have a long history in the D&D game. Here are some from the AD&D Monster Manual impishly (although the imp is a separate entity all together) slanting the word LEUCROTTA from the corner of a page.
