My kinda cupcake.....

Uncle Owen tells you to forget it.


So cupcakes they say. Humph. Fine, I get it. So here is my cupcake story.

The scene is a child’s birthday party. The year is 1977, shortly after the epic release of Star Wars. The children are running around the house and yard making Tie Fighter and X-Wing sounds, mimicking the familiar crackle of light sabers striking one another. One small group is gliding around jerkily imitating Droids. In one word the scene is hopeful. The birthday boy has only one request, cupcakes that resemble the recognizable metal top of his favorite character R2D2. As the birthday song commences the feeling in the room is exuberance, and glee. As the birthday boy’s mother turns the corner, coming in to full view of the boy’s entire entourage, they all see the yellow and brown visage of a smiling teddy bear shaped sheet cake. Disappointing, cupcakes are for sucks.

luck?


so a few days ago i finished casting the work for my show.
ten minutes ago i was carting the very
last two pieces to bisque for my show down to the kiln room. and wouldn't you know it... i slipped on a push pin that was lying on the ground, whacked my ankle on the side of the cart something rotten . As i fell towards the floor in the cartoonish "i just stepped on a banana peel" style i caught my balance by crushing the very last piece i had cast. damn it all!

so i guess it is back to casting that one last piece.

ps. my computer just ate my website and also is playng hide and seek with practically all my files. i love life

Friday the 13th


The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.
It's a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia of the number thirteen.


You haven't truly lived until you've seen Crispin Glover's amazing dance sequence in
Friday the 13th : The Final Chapter (Part 4). Trust me on this one.

Ceramic mustache mania

This is from Garth Clark's website. I guess mustaches are so new they are old.

Richard Slee

Winner of the 2001 Jerwood Applied Arts Prize, Richard Slee (b.1946) is one of the most interesting and significant ceramicists working today. Richard Slee is the most consistently innovative ceramic artist of his generation, a restless neo-Pop artist in the genre of Jeff Koons and Paul McCarthy, although, to put this in context, he evolved and refined his highly witty style and satiric vocabulary in the early 1970's long before either of these two artists arrived on the scene. His work is influencing the new generation of makers with his sleek, sly and meticulous objects that play in the cracks between function, design, decorative art and domestic tools. This exhibition, following a critically acclaimed book and retrospective exhibition, reveals the artist at the height of his expression.

What the Snail?





I accidentally stepped on a poor snail the other night, and at the time of the incident I thought it was an acorn. In the light of the morning I was able to see that I was wrong, it was in fact a snail shell.

I have been thinking a lot about collections, arrangements, and classifications these days...

a few things i like today...
