So I’m trying something very new for me: #hourlycomicday I’m also learning #procreate. https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWmemLgUom/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17y3wyix3j3uy

Ringing in the New Year with a back yard aluminum pour with friends. (Featuring @vidboi as my casting buddy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGiuPag0ln/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rbwvbw8uxn6x

Bronze casting is not exactly a “fast” process. A very patient collector has been waiting for this cast for way too long. Also, folks - my old little makita grinder is starting to die. Does anyone have an angle grinder they like? I’ll shell out more for better vibration dampening. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrlMW65Am0N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ql7hfr105rng

I’m so excited for “Wayward: In from the Wild”, and its artist reception this Saturday from 1-4pm. The @waywardretreats art retreat has been a huge part of my life for the past few years. This show, at @viragogallery, highlights art work and literary work from participants for the last 3 years. It has several of my sculptures and several underwater photographs from me, all for sale online at @viragogallery. (though some are sold out) Come by West Seattle, see the work in person, and meet some amazing artists! https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVpOxjgPI7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=61lzg7fraar2

The Sharp Tailed Beast is sharp on both ends. Well, all six ends, if you count its feet, because they're fairly sharp as well. In fact, you probably should count the teeth as well, for they are definitely very sharp, but that's an awful lot to count. . #monster #sculpture #ceramics #clay #woodfire #porcelain https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJNGK-AaGH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ucbuakj2286m

Beast on a half shell, anyone? “Pearl”, 2018. Wood fired porcelains, 4.5” long x 3.5” wide x 2.5” tall. $275. The previews of all my new beasties are now up on my shop, and the link is in my profile! Come take a sneak peek before Monday’s launch! . #sculpture #ceramics #monster #clay #woodfire #porcelain https://www.instagram.com/p/BrGEZBUgOBU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16rfjmccnrxp9

“Gifts”, 2018 Wood fired porcelains 5" long x 2.5" wide x 3.5" tall. . There are many types of gifts in life. There's presents that mean more to the giver than the receiver, and there's the perfect, undreamed of surprise. Most importantly, there's the gift of time, and even more rare, the gift of patience. . I’m starting to post the previews in my shop for Monday’s sale. It’s always so hard for me to write the little stories that go with my beasts, but they make me so happy once I’ve completed them. https://www.instagram.com/p/BrDs0rQAQy4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8yr7enechdik

Its always fascinating for me to look back and see the origins of a beast in an earlier sketch. Sometimes, it’s just the humor that survives. Also, my handwriting is *terrible*. . Shop launch on Monday, at 1pm PST! #monster #sculpture #ceramics #clay #woodfire https://www.instagram.com/p/BrBPIALAoFW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ktzjng1dcxte

Oh deer. Flame Horned Deer. 5” long x 3” deep x 5” tall. Wood fired porcelain with stoneware horns. The ash really did a number on this beast - soupy rivulets and tiny blue crystals. The antlers even went pale! $250, and coming soon to my shop! . #monster #sculpture #ceramics #clay #woodfire #porcelain #anagama https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_IyvjgEO6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=budofswnco8q

Skull Hat Beast is patiently waiting for my shop launch on the 10th. . #monster #sculpture #clay #ceramics #porcelain #woodfire #anagama https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8CsUxg--M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x0p2kymwxn2q

Gnaw, 2018. 4” wide x 3” long x 3” tall. Wood fired porcelain. The wood kiln was very nice to this lovely little beast. I can never predict the colors or effects - it turns the whole process into a collaboration with the fire. She’ll be heading to my online shop on December 10th for $300. #monster #sculpture #clay #ceramics #woodfire #art #anagama https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq3ARdqA7wA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=43pbxotmle8j

Time for beastie beauty shots! I typically do my own documentation, in a little set up in my basement. The previews will be up in my shop next week (link in profile), with the sale going live on the 10th! . #monster #ceramics #clay #sculpture #woodfire https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq0TcavAP8P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rkk4ls7ejee2

This little Egg Eater has perhaps the highest concentration of crystals that I’ve ever gotten on a beast. These crystals - the speckles - are unpredictable, and grow in the wood ash from the firing. Such a freckled beast! #monster #sculpture #ceramics #clay #woodfire https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqvi7xVgk4P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pjm02uyxt01s

A glossy beast, that’s been sweetly waiting for me to retrieve it from @6pondsarts. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqs5M9HgnQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mcprow4xjtfp

Ah! I’m finally back and getting my work from the wood kiln! It looks amazing! It’ll be hitting the shop December 10th at 1pm PST! . #monster #ceramics #sculpture #clay #woodfire https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsjJvdgaT8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rd9rwrn6tcm8
