I don't really know why I'm drawing an elf girl other than that every so many months all artists on social media are given a cursed little test to prove our worthiness. If we don't pass it we are banished from the internet and bring great shame to our families.

Some of the sketches. Typically with clients I do a "pasta at the wall" round, especially when we aren't quite 100% on direction, then once we have a firmer direction I provide color alternates and more refinement of silhouettes/expression.

I have eaten enough sugar in Hawaii to kill a small child. I feel amazing. Surely I will never come down from this high.

This semester’s test glazes, the yellow didn’t turn out the way I wanted but look at that lovely blue!

This was satin white over rod’s bod clay, cone 10. I’m really happy with how this glaze turned out, I was a little worried it would be too white but I forgot how much rod’s bod speckles. A happy surprise.

A decade ago at the very beginning of my career I had the random honor of drawing the cover for Anthony Bourdain's fake sci-fi erotic series "Chef Xordain" for an episode of Jonah Ray's Hidden America, which is finally available for free streaming today on 800 lb Gorilla.

I have always enjoyed games and my partner never has. He played Mario and arcade games as a child but has rejected every game I’ve tried to entice him with, from side scrollers to rogue-likes. So imagine my utter shock that THIS…THIS is the first game in 17 years that he wants to play.
