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.

Pope Mandrill II for the Hierophant Tarot Card

This is based on a Byzantine religious icon of Holy Hierarch Lev the Pope of Rome






The book he's holding is based on the Necronomicon prop from the Evil Dead movies.  I made a few alternate books, but I like the one he's holding better.
