I got three amazing little clay skull creations in exchange for a painting called Jar Man. She is one of my INTERNATIONAL traders. Yes. That's right. INTERNATIONAL. A TOTALLY DIFFERENT NATION. Or something.
Regina is awesome and you should check out her website. Regina was kind enough to send some answers to my ridiculous "interview" questions:
Q: If you could punch anything in nature, what would it be?
A: The safe answer is Cancer. I'd punch that till the cows came home. But my first thought was to punch a Tsunami. Bastard things.
What do you make when you're thrown into a pottery with no experience in sculpting? Skulls, of course! I found skull cookie cutters on eBay and spent a few weeks making the damned things. Many skulls emerged from the clay, but only these three remain. They were meant for assemblage art, but I never got around to it and they calmly requested that I not donate them to charity like I did to many of their brothers. When I get to tidying, I often rid myself of much of my "work." This trio is looking for a purpose...
Shoot your TV. Or the person standing in front of the TV. Or just hold this in your hot little hand, and feel all powerful. That's what it does for me. I just made another one, so I will not feel powerless without this.
I teach college ceramics. That's all you need to know about that. During my first semester of teaching one of my students (Let's call him "Justin") made an entire "Hugs For Jesus" series. Nothing in the series had anything to do with hugs, or Jesus, except they all said "Hugs For Jesus" on them somewhere.
