This is the image I want to use for the cup:
American Gothic by Grant Wood. Note the prodigious forehead on the man.
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.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
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.

American Gothic Farmer Cup Practice WIP
I want to make a mug with an interpretation of the severe-looking farmer from Grant Wood's painting American Gothic and these are my practice objects for the image on the cup. I like how the larger images look, but they don't give the farmer enough forehead.
