It's been several years since I made a vessel. It's been nice to explore sculpting on vessels with a few of my recent pieces, including this forest god one.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by @giantrobotstore for "KILN II " this past weekend. It meant a lot to see familiar faces and talk clay with everyone!
It is an honor to show at GR2 Gallery with this group of ceramicists. Thank you for wilding out about clay.
There were definitely some questions about Kyūbi no kitsune. All nine tails are sculpted, hollowed out, and then attached to the body in stages so they don't collapse under the weight. The more tails a kitsune has, the more powerful they are. So, nine tails is a very powerful yokai 🦊

"Meowtopia" opens online today! 🐱 This piece is inspired by a recent reading of "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami.
If you haven't read it, cats can converse with one of the human characters. The cat characters are one of my favorite parts of the story.Here posh housecat, Mimi, darts through Kawamura the stray's tuna filled dream (his favorite food).
I hope you can check out the online show!
Thank you for the invite to participate, @poetictigergallery ! 🐟

I read Watership Down as a young teen and it's still a source of inspiration for me. If you think rabbits are fluffy, sweet, and look cute all day - check yourself and read the book. Or induce nightmares by watching the 1978 animated version. (Swipe right to see the Black Rabbit being fairly benign.)

Rakugaki 8 opens this Saturday, March 14th, at GR2 Gallery @giantrobotstore .
I often end up with snippets of urban landscape or botanical drawings on a page, so I used those partial drawn on pages for some of these pieces.
