I'm finally finished glazing and back to making new things. Eye Cup #47 came out slightly irregular, but it's hard to tell unless viewed from above.
Finished Eye Cup #48
Eye Cup #48 has the same design but it's slightly closer to being circular.

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.

Eye Cup #45 With Three Large Eyes
This is the last of this batch of mugs. It's divided into three sections of plum/deep red, pussywillow/indigo, and emerald green glazes and the irises of the eyes have the same three glazes.

Phallic Monster #6
This is a primitive sculpture of a creature with a penis for its head and tail. The Etruscan bronze sculpture it's modeled after also has an erection where you would expect to find one, but this one is in a crouching position and I couldn't fit it in. The top comes off to reveal a secret compartment.
Eye Cup #46 With 30 Small Eyes
This is a slab mug with 30 small eyes embedded in the surface. They're the same small eyes I use to make the small chamsas.

Eye Cup #44 With Ten Eyes
This is a copy of Eye Cup #36. It has three sections of overlapping glazes and ten eyes in the same three colors (purple, emerald green, and plum/deep red). Maybe it will sell and that's obviously all that matters.

This is a set of four flat Cthulhu objects and one squid object to be hung on the wall. The Cthulhoids were made by cutting out symmetrical Cthulhu paper dolls and tracing them on clay.

March 2015 Bisque Firing
I had a mostly successful bisque firing. The important piece survived the trial by fire and so did most of the other objects. The nice symmetrical mugs are not my work.
This phallic monster sculpture shattered. Luckily it didn't take out any other pieces.
I kept the head.

Table of Weird Clay Objects
I have a large collection of small objects made from molds and very simple sculptures that I started making in 2009. I posted them a few years ago (here and here) as the Table of Weird Clay Objects. I was still using dial-up at the time and I kept the images small so that they would load quickly when I looked at the website. These are better quality images of the same objects.
