When I was a teenager I used to do scrimshaw. Scrimshaw is when you use a needle to “etch” the surface of ivory, such as a sperm whale tooth. The grooves are then filled in with black ink. I made this cobalt painting on porcelain over the course of 3 days in Japan. Inspired by the teeth I used to scrimshaw on. #painting #ceramics #ceramicart #pottery #potteryart #porcelainart #aritajapan #scrimshaw #scrimshander #tattooart #squidandwhale (at Japan Porcelain / Imari & Arita Ceramic)
