Looking to scroll less, but still see some weird clay guys? Join my mailing list at www.eclecticclay.com!
Ceramic sculpture of a yellow slime-like creature with large, goggling eyes. It's stretched out to form a backwards, misshaped "c" with its eyes perched atop its head, peering upward. Clay sculpture of an anthropomorphic gharial - a crocodile-like creature with a long, thin snout - dressed in a brown monk's robe with a rope belt. His hands are folded in front of his stomach. Clay sculpture of a neon orange goblin with bright yellow eyes. It sits with its legs splayed, one hand on a knee and the other contemplatively on its chin, as it leans forward to peer at the viewer. Clay ornament depicting an anthropomorphic pig in an orange and gold space suit. The helmet is a plastic ornament globe, and pig appears to be floating as if in zero gravity.

After what feels like a million setbacks and minor disasters, I've finished this 9 cat commission!

Bless this customer; their patience and kindness throughout was incredible, and I will genuinely never forget it.
9 clay cat ornaments in a variety of colors and poses. 8 sit on a work table with wire loops atop their heads. The ninth, the only black cat, is posed so its paws wrap around as though clinging to a branch, and it wears a Santa hat and a scarf colored like streaky bacon.

Bruce Coville is going to be at one of our local book shops.

I've got to get this signed; I've had it since elementary school, and it's definitely at least partly why I wanted to be an artist.
A well-worn copy of Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, a book by Bruce Coville. The cover is a colorful illustration of a red dragon hatching from an egg while a boy with brown hair and blue eyes watches in wonder. Text on the cover reads "She was just a little dragon...until she grew, and grew, and grew...."

Bilbo got skunked last night; in spite of my best efforts to clean, the house still smells kind of...spicy.

The Trash Kingdom grows with a skunk knight (I want to tweak them a bit, but color will help) and a pigeon bishop.
Two ceramic clay figures, in the process of drying. The one on the left is a skunk, dressed as a knight with shield and helm. The one on the left is a pigeon, dressed as a bishop with mitre, cape, and staff. In the back, two royals - a purple raccoon and a blue possum - are visible.

If anyone could help a disabled, housebound dude who’s currently without care out with the cost of some food and meds, I’d appreciate it. Sorry.

@dmacalvert.bsky.social's viking bear struck a real chord with me, so let's bring him to (3D) life!

Step one - big, badass axe!
A printout of a drawing of a big grizzly bear dressed like a viking. He holds a long-handled axe. A clay replica of the axe rests on top of the drawing.

Sitting at a slow show, not much going on, staring at my banner, staring harder......

THERE'S FUCKING GENAI ON MY BANNER!!!

BRB talking to the designer I hired; this was in 2023 so hopefully it's ignorance and not deliberate action. Either way, I'm getting a reprint.
A red dragon flying over mountains. The dragon has three wings, inexplicable anatomy, and is clearly generative AI.

Needed to keep the creativity going today and was inspired by my bff @eclecticclay.com to create a #snoof. They don’t have a name yet but I’m sure one will reveal itself in due time.

I keep misplacing my headphones. Hopefully @nora.zone' mascot Bauble will make them a bit more obvious.
A pair of black wireless headphones. A reflective sticker with a kobold printed on it has been placed on one of the ear pieces.

Anyway, today's all about packing for this show. Come see me and all my little weirdos!

The summer did not unfold as I had anticipated & now I’m in big debt after moving for grad school on a different timeline, thanks to my ex and his family.

If you can help, I’d be so grateful. I am living on student loans, but it’s not enough unless the goal is met.

It's September, the PERFECT time to think about the holidays!

No, really.

I am open for commissions, and have four slots available for guaranteed holiday delivery!

Commission a pet, fursona, TTRPG character, or anything else for yourself or a loved one.

More details at www.eclecticclay.com!

On the right is reference artwork for a wolf fursona with white fur and tan and brown markings. On the left is a clay sculpture of the character wearing a green vest, brown breeches, and a backpack, carrying a knife at his hip. Clay ornament of a brown cow stuffed animal dressed in green hospital scrubs. Two side by side pictures of a skeletal anthropomorphic dragon wearing black robes. It holds a tall scythe in one hand, and two blue spirits shaped like a fox and a bird accompany it. The photos show the front and back of the figure.

The number of obviously genAI flyers I've gotten from the school district this year is....just exhausting.

What if I started marking all the errors in red pen and sending them back in a folder?

I'm sure the HSA would love that.

In this period of time filled with AI stupidity, let's celebrate those we are not celebrating enough:

Art supporters, Art commissioners

THANK YOU!

Thanks to YOU, many artists can do what they do the best and keep being productive but most importantly

If anyone can help with the cost of some essentials, I would greatly appreciate it.

Trying to raise about £150 to cover:
My overdue broadband.
Food until next week.
Bleach/cleaning supplies.
