This was a fun commission. Most of my giraffes end up as smiling giraffes: (Giraffe Column, Giraffe Pot, Giraffe-Hydra-Tree, Giraffe Lich, Giraffe Cup). I made 14 and 12 survived, a few with missing legs.

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.
