I like how the glaze blurred and moved a little on this one.

Girl's head candle holder
Another ceramic piece from NYC. She holds a tall candle in her head- in fact, I'm using her as a candlestick right now. But in these photos her head is empty.

Ceramic hands
Greetings from England! My long blog silence was caused by the intense madness of trying to prepare for a transatlantic move. I hadn't quite prepared for that. Thought it'd be a doddle. Well, it was not a doddle! But I made it, man. I'm on the other side of the Atlantic. I live in London now.
And here are some things I made in my last weeks in NYC, which made it safely across the pond, to my amazement. They're just experiments, playing with glazes and techniques. A set of hands. They can be wall mounted, or laid flat. They can hold a candle or earrings or coins in their palms. Ceramic has such a nice feel to it.

New York Stories: Oven
Well, it's been a while. I've been dealin' with some things that will eventually no doubt be illustrated in New York Stories, once I can get enough distance to find 'em amusing. Until then, I'll be catching up with various things that fell by the wayside, i.e. a million projects, and this here blog. Here's another New York Story, the memory of which is gonna make it a little easier for me to repatriate to England in one month's time (!!!)

Oh Comely
Drew this for the lovely Oh Comely Magazine. Accompanying an article about a teenage girl who shared her birthday party with her grandmother, and thoughts about keeping friends throughout your life. Just a simple drawing.
There was also a tiny interview with me at the back of the magazine (I'll spare you) and they're doing a giveaway for one of my garland kits too. It's a Kaye-heavy issue.

Milo immortalised in ink & clay
A few doodles of young Milo, and an attempt to sketch out a teapot design based on his fine physique. I already made a miniature Milo in ceramic a while back, but now I'm playing with clay again I want to make him into some more practical forms. We'll see - probably not particularly smart to make a big fragile teapot right before I have to lug it to the UK. Maybe this will be a project for England.

Iphone case
I got an iphone case made for my brother's birthday. Lino print in a different context.

Leah, Dylan and Moses
A visit to Leah and Dylan's flat. They've made it a wonderful place full of wonderful objects, one in particular: Moses the kitten. He is a magnificent little chap. A Devon Rex (not a breed I was familiar with before), minuscule, and wildly happy to clamber on or over humans. You should check out Leah and Dylan's shared blog, for more Moses and more of their apartment.

Easter
Got some photographs back from the egg hunt we had in Fort Greene Park. Happy times with good spring weather. Sometimes New York is very fine.

New York Stories: Dentist
Proudly fighting stereotypes about English Teeth. And still disappointed that I didn't get to keep my damn xrays.

Rabbit rubber stamps
I carved some stamps a couple weeks ago, as prizes for an easter egg hunt. Now they're in their new homes, I've just got this post-it to remember them by. I think I'll re-make that grumpy face up top. I rather like him.
