Got a lot of work done on the price since I've last posted. Just sharing the progress. I still need to attach foam on table, pour the glitter resin, and attach the nodes into it. They are firing now so I'm excited to pull them out Monday morning. Then I need to make the body and dress for octoboy. Things are coming along quickly. Need to be finished by end of June for the work exchange show at The Clay Studio.<br />

Getting started on some new work. It s a combination of throwing and hand building using laguna's 20g clay. Its really tactile and easy to work with. I'm hoping to completely cover in fake flowers and glaze in semi transparent low fire glazes. I've recently decided that low fire clays are a better route for my work ad it allows me to decorate them in the colors appropriate for my work. This piece has a foot stand but it is not pictured. This will be at the bamf 2 show at the Brikhaus Art Space in Baltimore in early April. The opening is April 7th. See you there!<br />

Been a while since I posted last. In the last two months I've been quite distracted. Started working at the Ceramic Shop full time, got two peices into the Our Community show at The Clay Studio and applied for the Graduate program at Ohio State. Getting nervous waiting for their response.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the new slides I had taken of some recent work. Hoping to get back into making. I signed up to take a mold making class this coming spring session at the clay studio, and in April I have a group show in Baltimore at The Brickhaus Art Space, and the work exchange show in June. Gotta keep chugging.<br />

Did a little more work yesterday. I managed to trim the covers to the fruit dishes I'm making. But, unfortunately, I don't like them so they will just be glaze tests. On the other hand, the more I work the more I discover what I really want the work to look like.<br />
<br />
I took a break yesterday to start working on my figures. Instinct took over and somehow he ended up with Octopus arms. I really like it, and It oddly fits in with the rest of my work. I still want to use the imari gosu to draw cherry blossom flowers on parts of the surface, and luster the heart on the chest. I've decided to change the color of the roses from pink/blue to gold. It seemed... right :)<br />

I spent the majority of my time this week trying to adjust to the new clay body I'm using... changing clay bodies right before a deadline probable isn't smart. Finally cranked out some good test pieces, and got some practice with the imari gosu.<br />

I've modified the plan a little bit. I'm going to make medium sized plates, with domed covers decorated to look like landscapes. When you lift them the drawings on the plate will be exposed. It adds a bit more dimension to the work.<br />

The drawings are going pretty well. I bought some new brushes to help get more detail but I may actually need to get an even smaller brush so that I can get even more detail on the drawings.<br />

I finished my first draft of my letter of intent, and am all set to mail out release forms for my transcripts from MICA. I need to make contact with my last reference before I can submit my application, then finish the work by late November so I have time to get professional images of them taken.<br />

Making the final push of work to apply to Grad School with using my proposals for the residency in Seto. I'm trying to decide what kind of form to use to make the plates and tumblers. I want clean forms with sharp lines and smooth surfaces. I threw a few forms, and decided That I liked the foot of the tumbler, the way the rim of the plate comes in and frames the inside of the plate. I think I might implement the steep curved foot from the tumbler on the plate.<br />
<br />
Below are the original sketches. I'm imagining putting the drawing inside inside the plate so the ledge acts as a frame for it. The plate should be more of an object than a plate. The drawings on the tumbler, I'm imagining treating each plane as a separate panel for drawings.<br />

I'm excited to see the improvements my next one might bring. I'm most likely putting costume making on hold to finish up the photo series for all of them(I have another 2 partially finished costumes, and 3 total photographs to shoot). I'm hoping to finish up this illustration soon so that I can create the backdrop for the photo for this costume. Here are some photos of the progress I've made thus far.<br />

I've been slowly working on a Boy Lolita illustration, and since I had the outfit drawn already I decided to get started on the costume today as well. I spent the majority of today piecing together the shirt from the drawing. It still needs buttons, and then I can get to work on the jacket and pants.<br />
<br />
I'm really happy with how it is turning out, and I'm excited to get to work on the other parts. I have all the templates drawn up and I will probably cut them tonight, then sew them over the weekend and early next week.<br />
<br />
Don't worry, I have a wig to match the hair in the illustration. (n_n)

Walrus Orgasms & New Figure Work

<div>
I got walrus out of the kiln. He still needs eyeballs and such but I love the rough texture and color of his skin that came about by spraying layers of black and clear. It has the perfect damp sheen. I'm going to start building the base soon. I also finished up the hands and feet of the cupcake. I will post that image after they get glazed.<br />
On another note, I have begun work on a new figurative piece. Trying to sharpen up my sculpting skills haha. Made both hands and one foot. Im using bmix for its off white color, perfect for more of a skin-like tone. Im thinking I will build a wire armature body and sew an outfit for it. Similar to work I did ages ago in highschool. <br />
Here is the progress I made today. Sorry if images are the wrong direction. I will rotate them when I get to a computer.<br />

Seto Artist in Residence Program: Final Application

Mailed out my application for the International Artist in Residence Program in Seto, Japan today. Finished all the paperwork, attached proposals, and sketches just on time. I'm anxious, but excited, to get a response. It's a rather fast turn-around. The application is due on the 16th, their response is expected by the end of September,   and if I'm chosen I would have to turn in insurance info early October, and I would head out October 30th.<br />

I'm putting together proposals and drawings for new work as part of my application for the Seto International Art Exchange - Artist in Residence Program. I looks like a great program and Seto, Japan, has over 1300 years of history making Ceramics. I'm really excited about the possibility of traveling abroad again, as it provides me with crucial inspiration for my work. Here is the first of my proposals for some of the work I want to make.  a description is typed onto the image.

I took a break from making the tattoos yesterday to start work on my next illustration. He is legless right now but looking good. I'm really loving how efficient it is to draw my characters directly into photoshop. Still a little rough with the pen, but i'm sure with time it will all work out. Also I designed my first Star Trek tattoo. It's a fractal infinity with the IDIC logo.

I'm on a roll, and I really want a tablet computer... I'm hoping to have enough saved up by fall to buy the New Sony Tablet that is coming out. Here are a few designs I've been working on! Here I have the finished Butterfly, two Iron-man designs, and a Phoenix design. Getting pretty accustomed to the drawing digital tablet, and I'm beginning to crank it out.

More Tattoos!
