I decided to do a #tbt this week, and chose "The Road to Extinction" I dont often explain my work, but I'd like to today. This piece is an allegory for warfare. These two angry guys have been fighting one another with everything they have. As a result their environment has been consumed to produce objects of warfare. Whats worse is that their weapon of choice are eggs...literally their future generations. I realize its a grotesque portrait of warfare, but in some ways it feels spot on. Would love to hear your thoughts if you're willing to post them. #ceramic #arttoy #custommade #handmade #sculpture #art #clay #figure #vinyl #toylife #vinyltoy #popsurealism #lowbrowart #mudmonkey #simonboses #tbt

I've always had a thing for mounted animal heads - I know, its horrible. As an animal lover its terrible. When I was younger my parents had 3 large animal heads made of Paper Mache. They were awesome. I did tons of sketches but just couldn't figure out how to make clay light enough to hang that way (it was well before I explored slip casting). The rise in popularity of art toys mounted this way is super exciting. So, I find myself experimenting with this idea again. More pics and info to come. #ceramic #arttoy #custommade #handmade #sculpture #art #clay #figure #vinyl #toylife #vinyltoy #popsurealism #lowbrowart #mudmonkey #simonboses
