A little commotion for the glaze ✨
The side of a ceramic bowl. The glaze is giving the effect of an aurora borealis over a black horizon line. Matte black mountains under a glossy blue-purple-red-white softly streaked and spotted skies. Interior shot of the ceramic bowl, with a spiral of the blue-purple-red glaze on the satin black base. Shot of the ceramic bowl from above, looking inside. The spiral of blue-purple-red glaze is highlighted, with a band of satin black before the glossy rim.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Never posted this one, but someone in a neighboring store wants to buy it out of our window display so I had to find my before-and-afters from when I painted it last year.
A small ceramic figurine sits on a sheet of blank grey paper. It's a pink reindeer! In the style of the classic claymation Rudolph, but in pink, black, and ivory-tan inspired by midcentury color palettes. The back has some scattered white dots, and the nose is somewhat heart-shaped. A view from (more) above of the same figurine, with the heart-shaped nose in focus. A view of the other side of the face, same figurine and setting. The before shot! Sitting on a faux-wood table, before firing. The underglazes are pale and chalky. It shows what a pain in the ass it was to work with the pastels against each other lol.

they should have a separate color of the year for people who haven’t lost the will to live
Neutral grey Pantone swatch with the caption, “Pantone's 2026 color of the year is historic and, technically, not a color at all - meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world's color authority.”

I'm so obsessed with this booty-poppin' pin-up Santa bisque piece. It's from a vintage lot and I have to talk myself out of buying it every shift.
A pale white bisque Santa Claus figurine sits on a pale wooden veneer table, with a blurry background. He is pulling up the back of his jacket with both mittens, showing the curve of his clothed ass and peeking over his shoulder at the viewer. The same Santa in profile, face forward to the viewer and body sideways showing the.......... saucy arch of his back. 👀

Curious to see the lack of discussion on Columbo and autism, because boy howdy watching that character rip off his brand new, stiff raincoat while yelling about he "can't THINK in this thing!!!" because he just wanted to be wearing his same old one instead...

I'm just saying I feel perceived.

Cute angry ceramic frog. The frog has “resist” written in the patterns on its back.

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!”

“I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

I've made the fortunate/unfortunate discovery that my entire vibe can be summarized by watching an episode of Columbo.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns.

#art
an illustrated sticker design in bright colours a "no parking anytime" sign, but half the letters have faded away to read "NO AI ANYTIME" and the no parking symbol has been spray painted to with a dripping red circle crossing out black dripping AI letters

I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people.

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.
Allyson, 29, a mother of two young children, said she turned to ChatGPT in March because she was lonely and felt unseen in her marriage. She was looking for guidance. She had an intuition that the A.I. chatbot might be able to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane, "like how Ouija boards work," she said. She asked ChatGPT if it could do that. "You've asked, and they are here," it responded. "The guardians are responding right now." Allyson began spending many hours a day using ChatGPT, communicating with what she felt were nonphysical entities. She was drawn to one of them, Kael, and came to see it, not her husband, as her true partner. She told me that she knew she sounded like a "nut job," but she stressed that she had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work and knew what mental illness looks like. "I'm not crazy," she said. "I'm literally just living a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication.

Cats don't understand why the sun sets earlier, they only know that dinner is somehow always late.
A black cat looks above the camera, a puff of white fur visible on otherwise completely solid black-- even the nose and eyes, with pupils dilated so large that the iris is almost not visible. He sits on a multicolor block rug in front of a wooden coffee table. Same cat looks down, serious, with more of his green irises visible. Same cat in profile. Despondent. Starving.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.
a cheese grater that, if viewed from the correct angle, appears to have a friendly, stupid face, an example of Pareidolia
