Cthulhu Pot

This is a large (12 inch) coil pot in the shape of Great Cthulhu.  It has a lid reminiscent of the hat of a garden gnome.

Phallic Object 4

This is my fourth animal-like phallic sculpture.  This is another donation to my friend's auction, along with the Vulva Chamsa.  It's hollow and has a lid which doesn't fit that well.  I'm considering securing it with velcro, although I'm not usually one to introduce multimedia elements to clay pieces.

Vulva Chamsa

This is Chamsa 81.  My friend is having an auction to raise funds for her sex toy party business and this is one of the two objects I'm donating.

Space Coyotes 3 and 4

I sold a Space Coyote on Etsy and had a commission for another.  In my fantasies, I received and cease and desist letter from Lucasfilm, but maybe it will be Fox instead.

The one with the black nose is still available on my Etsy shop.

The Mog Project

I made these clay pieces inspired by illustrations from Mog the Forgetful Cat by Judith Kerr a few months ago as gifts for my nephew Milo, but I wasn't sure what to do with them.  My father visited this week and helped me plan the project.  We affixed them to canvases and fit them into frames.

This is Mog's head.  The illustration appears on the cover of the book and again on another page in which Mog has an existential crisis.

She was very sad.

The garden was dark.

The house was dark, too.

Mog sat in the dark

and thought dark thoughts.

This is a scene in which Mog dreams of flying.

She could fly everywhere.

She could fly faster than the birds, 

even quite big birds...

Suddenly she woke up.

I have the copy of Mog which I grew up with.  The binding is only partially intact and it smells like the mold in my parents' basement.  Buy a reprint of Mog the Forgetful Cat by Judith Kerr here.  Note that the classic phase "Drat the Cat" was apparently an attempt to convert the book from British English to American English.  The way Judith Kerr originally wrote it was "Bother that Cat."  I should warn you that the reprints use the original text.  I don't know why the publishers would think that "Drat that Cat" sounds especially American, but it does have a nice rhythm.

More Robotron Ornaments

These are the remaining two robot types from Robotron 2084:  the Grunt and the Enforcer.

Robotron Tank 3

The design in the middle of the Robotron tank reminds me of a cassette tape.  Unfortunately, this tank's head became detached from the body.

Roberto Mask

This is a clay wallhanging in the shape of another Futurama robot, Roberto.  It's a bad photo, but I dislike the piece enough that I don't care.  Hopefully it's just practice for a vessel in the shape of Roberto's head.

Charles Crumb Cowboy 2

A few years ago, I made a clay object modeled on a cartoon cowboy by Charles Crumb, the late brother of the great cartoon artist R. Crumb.  It sold recently and this is a new interpretation.

This is the first Charles Crumb Cowboy from 2010.

And this is the original image by Charles Crumb.

Non-phallic Hallucigenia WIP

I had an idea to make a Hallucigenia with a phallic head, but I just wasn't in a phallic mood tonight and this is what I produced instead.

Finished version of Aberrant Hallucigenia sculpture

Robotron Tank 2

This is a Tank robot from the arcade game Robotron 2084.

An image from the game:

Phallic Sculpture WIP

This is another piece for my friend's benefit auction.  I was planning on a "penis dog" phallic sculpture similar to the other three I made, but it turned out like this instead.

Finished version of Phallic Sculpture 4

Creepy/Erotic Chamsa WIP

This is a commissioned chamsa for an auction benefiting a website selling erotic objects.

Finished version of Vulva Chamsa

My Milagros

About a year and a half ago, I started this project with Sara.  We made small, grotesque clay sculptures with plans to paint or glaze them and hang them up with a clay bell.  She finished her own a long time ago, but it took me a long time to prepare mine, but it finally happened and here is the finished object.

This happy clay object was one of my milagros, but I decided not to include it since it's so grim and icky.

Robotron Ornaments

These were meant to be smaller Robotron 2084 objects to be used as Christmas tree ornaments, but they're probably still too heavy.

Robotron Brain #4.

Robotron Hulk

 

Robotron Tank

Robotron Brain, Side View.  This one lost a leg unfortunately.

Chamsa 80

This is Chamsa 80, with the same color and pattern scheme as the Robotron Brains.

Snake Head Objects

Yoda Objects

I bought a non-functional Yoda watch for $1.50 and these are the tests for the mold.  Came out a little distorted they did.

Rooster Pot WIP

This is a slab/coil/pinch pot with a rooster head and tail.  It's delicate and it has a long and difficult journey ahead of it which it may or may not survive.

Finished version of Nice Cock Pot

Chamsa Sale

I am trying to get rid of some of my more experimental chamsas.  Buy them here.

The Two Clamps Pots Together

These are the two Clamps Pots together:  the Small (5 inch) Clamps Pot and the Large (8.5 inch tall) Clamps Pot.
