Hello Bluesky! Let’s give this a go. I make sculptures. Mostly ceramic monsters with worrying teeth.

A beast with a sun and a moon hanging from a yoke, and stars on its back.

A mist blown beast

A small beast with smaller wings. And sharp teeth.

Portland art lovers and fans of unusual fish transportation MUST go see Sasha Fishman’s SHAD MODE at ILY2, there is a functional salmon cannon in the gallery with realistic weight hot pink rubber salmon you can chuck into it

I love that that photo is clearly a cat being forced to wear an AirTag harness, at max unamusement.

It fits into a pair of arms so perfectly!

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 11d

It’s such a fav of mine!

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 11d

Though honestly, this is my fav Art vs Artist, all in one photo.

Adding teeth today

An unfired ceramic sculpture of a large beast holding an even larger egg.

Art vs Artist. (nap edition)

A bulbous sculpture of a creature with large, sharp teeth reclines on its belly.

Eva reclines on her back, taking a nap in a sunbeam and the world’s softest moss. I have short spikey salt and pepper hair, quick dry hiking clothes, and a yellow bandana.

Hmmm. Not yet!

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 13d

Yuuuup. A true cultural milestone that is seldom discussed. To this day, my primary emotional response to SpongeBob is just mild confusion.

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 13d

If I’m sculpting for bronze casting, I might cut a sculpture in half, to make mold making easier.
I’ve been too lazy to melt my most recent beast, since I’d have to pull out its tinfoil center before microwaving it. However, I think I’ve found a new home for my bisected beast!

Yeah, they’re so freaking wild. I actually made a stuffed plush one for Ben 20 years ago, when we first moved out here.

Good choice.

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 14d

That sounds great! Thank you.

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 14d

You can’t say that and not say what your favorite type is!

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 14d

My discovery feed is an interesting mix, especially given that it’s based on the fav’s of the people I follow. Mostly it’s bug and science art, but there’s clearly one of you out there who loves terrible AI art - and surprisingly boring porn.

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 18d

It is, 100%

May I offer you an eel in these trying times? #ocean #art #eel

It was fascinating to sit down with a whole group of friends and go “wait, that’s how it works for you too?”

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 19d

Nooo, I can’t even picture that. We only have cold + damp, not the dreaded warm + damp!

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 19d

Yes! This happens to me too! I tend to get so frustrated with myself for not making progress.
I’m hoping that thinking of it in this way will let myself be more patient with those days.

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 19d

Ha, try Seattle in November. (You have my sympathy.)

Eva Funderburgh @evafunderburgh.com · 19d

I had a good conversation with a bunch of art friends yesterday about the work of getting to work.
You know that two hours of cleaning the studio and staring into space you start? It’s not just you.
I’m enjoying reframing that as part of the process, as the work of getting to work.
