Aberrant Ceramics: September 2016

/* Pinterest website claiming thingie */ /* That's it for the pinterest thingie */ Aberrant Ceramics: September 2016

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
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.

Mean Cat and Deer Minion WIP for the Emperor Card

Underfired Weasels for the Priestess card

The kiln underfired and the glazes are duller and rougher than they should be. I'm going to refire them, but I think the underfired versions might work out better for the Priestess card.

These are the ones I drew. The first two are the same as the one used on the Weasel Cup. The last few look more like lizards.

Hot Dog Kid/Giant, Deer Minion, and Mean Cat WIP for the Emperor Card

The Emperor is based on an old collage of a giant in a Speedo with the head of a chubby-cheeked kid from a hot dog advertisement. I'm having trouble getting the Hot Dog Kid's face to come out right.
