Sketch for thesis

So I'm in the midst of thesis and have several ideas. This is one of them that made the cut.  It's rough, but it will do.

The Intrepid Detail Shot

I have been neglecting my Blogger account so here's a detail shot of a piece I'm very happy with this spring semester.  I find myself posting on Tumblr a lot more as of late.  I've been very busy this year with my position as the UF ceramics club treasurer, coursework, and teaching.  I'm getting better at what I do, but I'm not content.  I need to keep pushing forward.  Next on the to-do list:  NCECA and then my 2nd year review.  Here's hoping my 2nd year review goes well at the end of the month!

A new piece from this semester.

So this is what everything has led up to this semester.  Sorry for the lack of posts, but this semester has been about learning a new skill set.  I think this piece shows growth.  I know I'm happy with it.  I hope the bots and random passerby's enjoy it too.  I've also started a Tumblr account for fun.  It can be found here:  Link

Long time no update!

I figured I should address this space a bit. This semester has been very busy for me. I'm currently learning a new skill to further my work. I also just found out that one of my pieces was accepted in the NCECA Student Juried Exhibition. I hope that means I'm doing something right! Here's a teaser pic for this semester's work:

One of the fall projects!

I have a collaboration with a good friend this spring and have been deciding what to make. My partner and I are happy with the first two ideas. I think this third one will work. Posting only a sample for now.

Airplane Bionic Commando

Was doing some scribbling before I fell asleep on my trip to Indiana.

Pin Striping

So I have this piece that I've been wanting to simply draw lines on.  I made it smooth to draw and decal it.  I decided to go a different route and use some pin striping.  I have never pin striped before, but I did see it done on television once.  I like what it's doing so far.  I just haven't had time to live with it yet.

Late Night Progress

So I'm working on a couple of busts.  Yes, the female has arms.  I'm just working on them right now.  I just wanted to post an update before this thing went into a kiln to finish drying out for a firing tomorrow.  The male sculpture will not get arms, but have two joints should I feel like putting some on later.  Hopefully this thing doesn't fall apart in the kiln!

Gumdrops and Cyborgs

Thought I would share a couple of shots from one of my sketchbooks. Some brainstorming and daydreaming during class.  That gumdrop's going on a coffee cup!
