groovy forest

salt and pepper shakers

Salt and Pepper shakers finally came out of the kiln.  here's a few of my favorite pairs

Here's that drawing I was talking about andy, this is the FIRST version, I'll post the revised version as soon as it's polished up to perfection

Toy design

Here's a toy design for drawing class, top is the measurements and the bottom is in context

Here's a little comic I did for drawing class depicting a gang of albatross taking down a hot air balloon

Here's the new and improved vehicle.  It's not so much an urban delivery vehicle as I intended it to be but it looks like it can haul ass

Once of you guys needs to paint this in a real abstract manner for use as an album cover...

clay modeling

here's my inspiration, courtesy of illustrator Fred Lammers



base armature to build clay on




beginnings of clay masterpiece



set against a mirror to achieve perfect symmetry, the human eye is just too flawed

salt n pepper shakers

ideation sketches



final models cut from high density foam



after the models are made, molds are made of them




Here's what ya need for a little slip casting



from top to bottom:
random wooden thing I use to scrape slip off my beautiful mold
tool used to form holes that salt n pepper will eventually come out of
exacto knife to clean up the seams that occur in slip casting process



pouring slip (liquid clay)



beautiful salt n pepper babies freshly poured



out of the mold and ready for finishing touches



there's still much glazing to be done, I'll keep you guys up to date
can you guess which one is for salt and which one is for pepper?
