Flying Vampire Bunnybat framed

I am, as you might expect, in the midst of pre-show panic, the hurried frenzy of getting everything ready and making as much new stuff as possible in prep for Wheatsville. I posted this drawing on here before, but I don't think I showed it to you in its framed format. I will have several framed mini-drawings available at the show, some even smaller than this one (which is approx. 2.5" x 3.5").

Conical Mollusc

Wheatsville Arts Festival approacheth! This weekend, Dec. 5-6, from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM both days. Guadalupe & 30th, spread out across several local businesses (I'll be outside I ♥ Video). This is in Austin, of course. The weather should, in theory, be relatively pleasant.

My plan is to pick up the new mugs, shirts, and shot glasses tomorrow, so I will have them at the show. Rah!

Green Sledding Slug Feep Orneryment

A succinct summation of how this time of the year can sometimes feel.

Ceramic Beholder Jar

Here's another high school ceramics class monstrosity. The lumpiness kind of works with the disgusting shape a beholder usually has, though I clearly didn't have the patience for all 10 eyestalks. I think in general my high school art classes were exercises in plowing through assignments rather than enjoying the creative possibilities of a given medium. My skill level improved dramatically in college, where things were a bit more freeform. So, while I would never present a piece like this for sale, it's interesting to look back on it to get a sense of my progression.

Monster Candy Jar

This is another of my old creations that's been hiding out at my parents' house for the last mumblety years. Another high school ceramics class assignment, this one was to make a candy jar. While not an especially refined piece, I believe it still shows clearly some of my early exploration of themes involving smart-assery.

White Board Monster

A known risk of putting me anywhere near a white board is that I shall inevitably cover it with doodles alike unto this one. (The red cast is from doing an auto level adjust in Photoshop; I rather liked it, so I left it that way.)
