hi there! thank you so much :•) idk how much you know so i’m doing very elementary, sorry if you already know some of this stuff. to draw the pictures i used underglaze rather than regular glaze which is a thin clay slip with pigment in it rather than regular silica glaze and is used under the glaze. i waited until the cups were bone dry or very dry leather and used a very small brush to draw them and on the most of the ones other than danny losing at cards on which i just used the black background to refine the lines, a clay tool with a kind of square chisel tip to scrape off tiny bits of the clay to refine my lines. they also make underglaze “pens” and pencils but i have had very sore luck with each. danny loses at cards is very barely lazily burnished not enough to make it shiny but it made it smooth bc the clay i used was very coarse, and unglazed on the outside. the other one you mentioned has glaze over top it, and on the ones with panels i used wax resist over top of the underglaze before glazing. if you want you can apply underglaze after bisqueing/biscuit firing in addition or instead but my preference is on bone or drier leather so that i can do the chiseling, but my clay was very sturdy so i wasn’t particularly worried about crushing in this stage. also doing it before bisque fire makes me feel like it’s less likely to run but i think is cope. some glazes will make underglaze run or bleed no matter what and some underglaze will run or bleed no matter what and the only way to really tell is to test them. except if the glaze has zinc in it then it is absolutely likely to bleed. though ofc you can guarantee this won’t happen if you leave the painted part unglazed. my black underglaze was amaco velvet and all my other colours were from the mayco sampler pack. amaco is pretty pricy but the opacity can be better. i hope this helps & if you have any other questions i’d be happy to say more! :•)

i’m really glad i never sold this mug. so many people i spoke to at craft shows said they thought it was sad… i don’t think it’s sad at all. people projected their own feelings onto it which of course is the nature of art & i think very much may be contributed to by the fact that i don’t draw people smiling very often (particularly danny is not much of a smiler) but i don’t really think i’d want someone who it didn’t make them happy to own it. like ppl said oh well you know he gets a phone call and he’s not dressed yet (presuming it’s the middle of the day) but like it doesn’t show what time of day it is or anything… my original vision was that he was in bed but it wasn’t going to fit but it is the morning. i think it’s such a simple action and such a simple drawing & narration that there’s a lot to be read into it. like it really is as simple as he hears his friend is in town so he gets dressed and leaves the house immediately, bc he’s excited to see his friend. the owner of my studio who also interpreted it sadly wanted to make an ig post abt it and all i had to say was it’s about being excited to see a friend. i admit that there are ways i could have shown this & like it would help if he did look excited to hear a friend was in town so a lot of the room for ambiguity comes from my inadequacy as a cartoonist… but anyway i love it and it’s happy to me.
