Happy birthday month! Thanks for doin an art share!
I do a lot of ceramics and as much guitar building as I can!
Two ceramic rats sit in a counter. The smaller one faces away from the camera doing a handstand with its feet up in the air. The larger one faces the viewer and is leaned over watching the small rat. The large has actually whiskers A hand holds a ceramic mug against the sky, the mug is a amber brown color with a bas relief of a stegosaurus A purple mug sits at the bottom of a quarter pipe ramp with graffiti on it, the mug had a moxi lolly roller skate with slide blocks on it A guitar headstock made of flamed maple. The headstock has a large swallow inlay in the traditional tattoo style

Sick of me yet? Don’t worry I’ll crash from relentlessly posting for the holiday lead up and you’ll never see me for like a whole week.

Luna moth mugs though! Look moths! MOTHS.

The beetle at the center of the universe.
A detail shot of a ceramic tile. The tile has a geometric swirl sunburst looking embossed background with a bas relief of a rhinoceros beetle. The emerald green glaze pools in Lower areas and runs off of higher areas creating depth of color in the glaze. The glaze is also crazed or crackled with small fractures in the surface

I really don’t mind the actually finishing part of shooting finish. If I had a space or set up for fume evacuation and dust mitigation I honestly would relish getting to do it more. But it’s always a slog and I never want to do it. I always keep tweezers handy now because bugs just love nitro…

Thagomizer included!

First Dino mugs out of the kiln. I was worried about these having too much detail but doing the bones on the like rock made it very possible. Quite happy with these and looking forward to exploring it a bit more.

Burgundy mist looking pretty rad. Spent some time scraping some overspray and places where the paint got under tape. Hoping to put some clear coats on this over the weekend.

New set of bookend planters from the kiln. Kind of annoyed that I forgot to put my typical masked off band around the rim. Oh well

Monstera Mugs!!!
When I was prepping for the workshop down at Neosho Community College last month I knew whatever sprigs I set up for them I wanted to be able to add more detail for me later.
This was one of the ones I made and I think it turned out pretty rad!

Well I really wanted to paint the top of this burgundy mist like I had it before. But now that I have clear sealer on it I’m not so sure 😂

I kind of never realized how much this brown looks like the eye color of my mom’s family until today.
I got green eyes and pale skin.

Doing some really horrible testing with an air brush in prep for spraying just the edges of the guitar I’ve been working on. First pic is a junk guitar to gauge spray patterns. Second is my friend who loves airbrush shirts name and last is the difference a tiny bit of toner on the binding makes.
An edge view of a blue guitar with binding, part of the binding has been painted blue A scrap board with squiggles and the name Ayla poorly written with an airbrush in blue A side only detail of the gretsch I am repairing, the binding on the right is a stark white, the binding on the left has been stained to mimic 50 years of aging nitro and looks like the palest yellow. Kind of just smoke stained
