I used my digital microscope on those ceramic bowls I made… part 2…

Posted on October 22, 2019 by pouringmyartout

I might be a ceramic-glazing idiot savant…

Posted on October 8, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Catching up with my life…

Now I can smell ground up bones and cow meat with big chucks of gristle and fat whenever I want to, and be reminded that I actually met Eric Idle…

A father’s love for his daughter, as expressed in directions on how to babysit her when she was a baby…

Posted on September 4, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Another cool thing I did over the weekend, which isn’t really a weekend, because I work on weekends, so it was actually a Monday and a Tuesday, but I call it the weekend because it makes me feel like I have a weekend…

Posted on August 31, 2019 by pouringmyartout
