Six new Blasphemugs ready for bisque. These were a custom order but I'm thinking of making them a regular thing.

Top row: America's New Hobby Jesus Bottom row: Nun-Righteous

My next project in this sculpture class is based on the surrealist game The Exquisite Corpse. These are the creatures my classmates drew for my inspiration!

"As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect." -The Metamorphosis, Franz Kafka

Lately this enormous bug has been eating up all my studio time, hmmm. Oh, and I'm sick, and when I'm sick I get goofy.
