Ceramics

Okay, I know, all I do is talk about my drawing students.  And my 2D students.  But I also have ceramics students, and those classes have been a HUGE challenge for me.

Visual Journal

Remember these book covers I made?  Well I have been doing some work on the pages.  I only have one page finished so far (but a lot more in the works) so I thought I’d share a couple pictures of it… hopefully I’ll have more soon (I have this habit where I don’t finish things.  [...]
