Psychrolutes marcidus, the real blobfish: much blobbier and much more horizontal.
Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, 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.

Blobfish Tiki Mug
This is third in a series of four animal tiki mugs. I don't think it successfully captures the very human facial features of the blobfish, . Maybe if you took a blobfish and squished it into a column and gave it satanic eyes it would look like this.
