Another nerikomi experiment, this time a lil snek. I colored the porcelain myself -- the yellow is a Mason stain. The green is that same yellow with a touch of cobalt oxide. I'm not sure where the dark spots came from but I'm guessing they're due to tiny lumps of cobalt that I didn't mix in thoroughly. The red eyes are porcelain slip colored with a little bit of Mason stain.

This piece was inspired by a version of Henry My Son by Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie that I listened to obsessively as a kid. The song is a humourous American reworking of the Child ballad Lord Randall.

Song for Woody

Originally posted on January 29, 2021

On this day 65 years ago Bob Dylan played his first show in New York City.

“Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
Bout a funny ol’ world that’s a-comin’ along
Seems sick an’ it’s hungry, it’s tired an’ it’s torn
It looks like it’s a-dyin’ an’ it’s hardly been born”
