This is Ivan. He worries about what other people think of him. He’d like to fix his teeth. He owns a telescope but rarely uses it.

Four fish whistles. They make me think of a punk rock band. The stoner in the back on drums, the cutie on vocals, the serious one on bass 🐠 toot toot #womensart #clay #art #whistles #ceramics #pottery #potteryofbluesky #canadianartist #ceramique #céramique #fish
