YOUTUBE MURAL

A couple times a year my friend Eileen talks me into doing some ceramics, if it wasn’t for her I probably would never get around to making stuff with clay, so thanks Eileen for the motivation to do so.  The Title of this piece is Vincent Van Gough’s Rodent Twin in a Parallel Universe,  this year I will be participating in a mug and small works show at the Pence Gallery, which will also be having a larger ceramic exhibition there as well.
