Where the w!ld things are: more gruesome BOY pots!

Not to offend, but like I said yesterday, indeed, I look at some of the things I make (cars, rockets, planes, dogs, fire trucks!) and say "Gary, you make pots a little boy would want to make".
INCLUDING this new line of lizard cups.

Yesterday I showed the first in the series. This one is the second...and it got me thinking "what if the handle became a tail and then I added the face of a MONSTER???


And I finished that monster and I was like "dang, he looks a lot like some w!ld things I have seen before..."  which, for the sake of copyright etc, I will emphasize I said that AFTER I made them and it is just a passing glance and has nothing to do with any famous author's work, book, etc.
I remember hearing that author say "I was a little boy and we visited my old aunts and uncles and my characters are based on them and and their ugly old selves" or something like that....

ANYWAY, I do not make many face jugs these days, but starting the mid-80s I became very interested in southern face jugs...this is a favorite mug of mine, from around '89 next to a small vase from yesterday...character, eh?

Have an awesome day!
