Good Morning Sir Mike!

Brother your really starting to take some giant leaps lately...these latest two really show some "damn fine" creative thinking!

A war club as a mug...now, how cool is that! I could be wrong I don't believe anyone has gone down that path before. Not only that, your exploring with marbling the clay your using, and adding paper clay to it. Giant steps.

I just love, LOVE mixed media clay work! The concept and execution of the biker mug is my favorite....a found object (handle), and real aluminum diamond plate combined with the clay. Did you tack the plate to another base there?

And to top it all off, your photos are looking really nice (be careful of the flash). Red is a hard back ground color to shoot work on as it tends to pull the viewers eye more towards the red than towards the work, but in this case, it works well behind the Club Mug. Tasty.

The blue jean also works behind the biker mug. Thematic yet subtle.

There is no bluring a fine line in this work...Nice job Mike.
