The original illustration from the AD&D Monster Manual:
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, ceramic artist 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 feel like I'm frantically birthing as many clay monstrosities out into the world as I can.

Baalzebul Wall Mask
This is a wall mask depicting the Arch-devil known in Dungeons & Dragons as Baalzebul, Lord of the (F)lies, and elsewhere as Beelzebub. Like most devil figures in monotheistic religions, Baalzebul/Beelzebub is a pagan deity (in this case Philistine) converted into an evil spirit.
