The second painting, also teal blue shows the horse with its head held high, the sword going through its neck. A bird flies over the horse's head, angling its neck down to observe the scene. By the hilt of the sword, a serpent has its jaws held wide, and its body twists and coils about. Flowers further decorate and frame the scene.

some more unicorn birds I've been meaning to post for a while!
A digital illustration of a white bird with a unicorn horn jutting out of its forehead. It stands with wings folded and looking behind itself to a star sitting at beak level. The background of the illustration is a vivid yellow. Another illustration of a white unicorn bird, this time facing away from the viewer with its wings spread and tail raised.

ah almost forgot to post this here!
Alright so an update on how stuff is going regarding the online store: The good news: Postal offices and online selling platforms have figured out the shit show of US tariffs and I should be able to set up a tariff collection system for the online store just fine! Only some of my stuff qualifies as CUSMA compliant/tariff exempt ie. my ceramic work, prints, stickers, certain apparel items. If I wanted to send it to the States I'd have to have all my declared item inventory certified by an agent at a separate shipping entity who then hands it off to Canada Post. Every single item must also have a made in Canada label present. There's no way my online store can separate CUSMA compliant/non compliant items so I think I'll just have to bite the bullet on charging tariffs on everything and make sure everyone gets freebies! The bad news: Canada Post is on strike again so I'll just have to get shop set up to go in the meantime and be patient and do more local markets!

A ceramic creature with a black and pink striped body. Its mouth hangs open, showcasing little sharp teeth while bright eyes look about. Another striped creature, this time orange and light peach colored. Its mouth is closed in a toothy smile and little black horn nubs protrude from its forehead.

Some sold work from vending last month that I didn't have time to document!

1/2
A brown ceramic goat with black stripes running down its back, and head angled down to showcase its large, swooped back horns. A little sandy brown ceramic creature with a black head and big staring eyes. Black stripes run down its body and break up into little flecks by its legs. A chartreuse mug with a floral barn quilt pattern in the middle. Half rolled up little isopods frame it.

A photo of me wearing a black tank top featuring the "Ceramicists United" illustration; a dragon by a wood burning kiln with imps holding hands encircling them. The same illustration but this time on a black T-shirt I'm wearing.

Fingers crossed that Canada Post gets things sorted out for CUSMA compliant goods soon 🫠
So I thought I should be able to ship at least some stuff to the states with paperwork tariff free that are CUSMA compliant ie. my ceramic work, the ceramicist united apparel as its printed on clothes made in Mexico, stuff like big prints that doesn't fit in letter mail etc. but found out that a 35% tariff is still being forced upon Canadian CUSMA compliant stuff being send with mail carriers like Canada Post (pretty much my only option here) I don't know how many people would want to pay that tariff (and then their individual states import fees) so I think I may only be able to ship letter mail to the states until President Dumbass is out of office or croaks and then hope de minimus is reimplemented . Thankfully I'm fortunate enough that I have other options to try and make up for the huge amount of lost income and have been applying for more local gigs and teaching roles, and can start picking up more commissions again as needed . 😮‍💨 A meme photo of a stag deer sadly leaning on a railing on a gloomy day.

Popped over to Giant Tiger to just grab some toilet paper and discovered that store of all places (???) had very fairly priced thai constellation monsteras, so naturally took the scrawniest but very boldy coloured one home😅
Rows of variegated "thai constellation" monstera plants in 4 inch pots on a wooden crate. The label below them reads "$24.97" The thai constellation monstera I bought. Its main and largest leaf is pure white with a single speck of green chlorophyll fighting for its life. The white pigment of the leaves can't photosynthesize so the white leaf is entirely relying on the others! The same new monstera next to its big brother, a standard green monstera deliciosa which dwarfs the new one in size.

realized I never posted this ceramic charm I made last year, I forgot to take a photo of it glaze fired and it sold at an in person event so a simple photo of it at bisqueware with pencil sketch marks it is! :)
A ceramic tile cutout featuring an illustration of a brown and white sturdy little pinto horse, its little legs pulled up as if in mid-jump.

and finally, a tiny little freshly hatched sauropod also available at jonathons.ca !

$135CAD #ceramics

* due to the de minimus exemption being removed on the 29th in the US, and uncertainty of the new tariffs and possible $80 flat rate fee per package, US shipping is not currently available.
Multiple views of a short and stout little ceramic sauropod held in my hand. It sits on a little round clay stand and its grey and brown body is littered with symmetrical spots. Big eyes peer back at the viewer.

Big, alert eyes observe their surroundings, and a long unicorn horn juts from the centre of their head. An angle of them from behind.

Hi all!

figuring out a new d&d character (doodled before bed last night and was too lazy to mull over full armour so he's naked with his beeferonis out)
A pencil sketch on paper of a very bulky, thick-necked, muscular minotaur. His long horns eventually jut up at a 90° angle and the cheek pieces of his helmet form sharp, downward pointing triangles. Text reads “strap behind ears” and “dip in snout”

Wormy adjacent ceramic critters!🪱
The bulk of the wormies have been sold but the dish and any remaining worms + new work will be available at jonathons.ca in hopefully in a weeks time). I’ll announce when! :)
A yellow ceramic dish featuring an illustration of a long, noodley, scruffy creature curled around the circumference of the dish. On the inside of the dish is a cluster of flowers. A star sits below its slender, whiskered snout, and further little clusters of flora frame the creatures body. Ceramic worms in different shapes, colours, patterns, and poses. Some are striped while others are spotted or have floral patterns. One even holds a little flower in its mouth! One thing that connects them all is their big, silly eyes, all staring at the viewer. A different angle of the ceramic worms.

some general shop updates (and a good life update!) ^^
A screenshot of my “Ceramicists United artwork. Text reads: got a quote for tees/tanks and hoping to give an update in a week, maybe two regarding the screenprinting side of things! got some fun matte mirror effect stickers made though, and prints being made along with other general sticker and print restock! and k-pg longsleeve shirts have arrived (and a small batch of sweatshirts for those who still wanted that version)! the print is more vivid and sharp than ever before!! yay! i'm currently working on documenting everything, updating my online store and doing some ceramic work while waiting for the rest of the inventory to be set for pickup :) A photo of my english springer spaniel. Text reads: as some people know from my story posts, mildred has been in the midst of a stint with mast cell cancer. after the initial surgical removal it was reclassified from stage 2/low grade to high grade given a metastatic lymph node suggesting more aggressive behaviour (the node was also unfortunately close to the tumour itself.) she went in for additional testing + aspiration biopsies of her speen,kidney, and lymph nodes last week and everything came back clear today! given the one lymph node testing positive and some of the cancer penetrating into her leg muscle, we've been advised and are hoping to get her on a few rounds of radiation therapy and oral chemo to fully get it out of her system!
