This is a miniature figure of my Kenku Assassin called Ulin. Kenkus were humanoid parakeets in AD&D but were reincarnated as slightly seedier humanoid crows in later editions. It occurred to me that maybe his tunic is cut scandalously low.

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny, potter and ceramic artist based in Tucson, Arizona. Self-taught and neurodivergent, he has worked in stoneware clay since 2004. He makes non-traditional forms 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.

Wise Man Objects
These are two more Nativity Scene Objects made from the discarded Nativity Scene I found in the trash, featuring the face of one of the wise men. The second one also has a weapon belonging to a Star Wars figure.

Tardigrade 3
I sold my first Tardigrade sculpture to a buyer on Etsy last month. I haven't heard back from her after several contact attempts, so I can only hope that Tardigrade 1 made it safely to the U.K.
This is my third Tardigrade

Celebratory Tardigrade
I received a message from a person in the UK who was interested in buying the tardigrade I have for sale on Etsy. I made a new tardgrade in celebration..

Nativity Scene Objects
I found a mostly intact nativity scene by the dumpster behind my apartment complex, along with various other discarded Christmas decorations. I immediately thought, "I have to press these things into clay at the first possible opportunity." These two wise men and a camel were the first to taste clay and here are the objects that resulted.

I gave away a similar chamsa and immediately wished I hadn't. This is the replacement.
This is an extra chamsa eye.

Unfired Purple Worm 2 and Free-Standing Duck Head
My first purple worm lost the stinger off its tail. I resisted the urge to destroy it. I'm using the damaged original as a glaze test and made a new one last night.


The small object pictured with Purple Worm 2 is a Free-Standing Duck Head, which was spontaneously constructed (rare for me) while discussing a dire work situation.
