one more thing....

I forgot!!
My boyfriend is taking this class on comics and I have been reading this one called black hole...
its super interesting! plus I like zombies and monster stuff so this makes me really happy :)

Today is a better day!

I may be peeling from tubing sunburns but the burns are gone...
I have just recently got the newest ceramics monthly and found some new amazing artists!!
 Kristen Morgan (who i have not found a website for) makes these sculptures that she does not fire in a kiln so that they eventually decay and deteriorate. They are really interesting... at least the ones i have seen....

These are just two images that are featured in ceramics monthly and I think that the concept is interesting and it is something i have thought about before...













Hopefully soon I will be able to put up more pictures of my own work...unfortunately summer puts a strain on my picture taking.

Hope you enjoyed my artist of the day... my horoscope calls for a bad day but I am determined to turn that around.

My Favorite things

So everyone has their down days... im going to show some of my favorite things since today is one!

Merideth Host

She does some work that is very subtle and beautiful and i totally respect that and would like to see it come out more with my work. Its also very clean cut and pristine.









Other work of hers has a dark twist to it and this is where I LOVE LOVE LOVE her work. She uses these colors that she refers to as sweet candy colors or something and then pairs them up with something a little darking and in this picture as you can see its teeth...


You can click the name to view her website i just think she is fantastic. I almost bought one of her cups at the Pewebic Center in detroit but probably would have put myself into debt.


Kristen Kieffer is another person that makes amazing work with porcelain!

From her cups to her bowls to her pitchers and wall pieces all of her stuff has this wonderfully eccentric detail to them which makes them all so beautiful and pleasing to look at



Shes one of the artists I need to add to my collection asap.



She works with soda fire as well which is what makes it perfect for me. Plus she knows one of my professors at Central. I have not met her yet but i think her work is wonderful.








These bowls are my favorite by far.






Brenda Lichman is an amazing soda fire ceramicist. She is one of the people I strive to make work like.

They are all so beautiful! The shapes. The colors. The flashing everything its just so pretty. I actually own one of her cups and it is so light as well. I saw almost all of these things at NCECA and if I could I would have taken everything home!


I am a Brenda Lichman fan for sure!!























these are just a few of my favorite ceramics things but now im going to veer off in a different direction...

Bitter Films Don Hertzfeldt
Crazy dude that takes simple animation to an extreme!

 I also like to dabble in a few 2-d things myself... a week and a half ago I made to paintings for our apt...

 Mr Bill Murray at his finest I also did Christopher walken but I will put that up another time...


well hope you enjoyed my rantings about my favorite things!

quote for the day....

"Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that's why I made works of art. " Felix Gonzalez-Torres


amazing artist... so passionate...
