Artist statements and pictures

Small wooden sculpture

I wanted to make something not with clay. I wanted to make something cool with wood, so I got a block of wood and I started to hand carve my way into a piece of wood. After many injuries later, I managed to make a cool cone shaped cup. I didn’t have much time to smooth it up, but all in all, it looks like a cool sculpture of sorts.

Shot glass

I wanted to try to make something easy. But even this project was a tough job. I failed countless times, but in the end it turned out the way I wanted it to. I started with a small lump of clay. Then, I went to the wheel and tried to make a small shot glass. It was not as easy as I would have hoped. But, many tries later, I made it. It’s not what I wanted exactly, but I like it.

Car artist statement

I wanted to make something something cool and small, but something that also had plenty of uniqueness and was fun to look at. I wanted to create a small animal, but I decided to make a small car. It was nothing special, but I enjoyed making it and I loved the way it came out. It has lots of cool colors, and I’m proud of it.

I saw a drug free poster, and it had sideways text, and it had a lot of cool images and it used a lot of free space to write words, and when you zoomed out it said don't do drugs. Now, I couldn't figure out how to do that, so this is what I came up with, and I like it.

I didn't have much inspiration for this, so I just made what came to mind. I know it's about reading but when you said reading, I felt I wanted to make something soothing.

I really tried hard to do something good, so I tried to find a good base image, thus the heart. Other then that, I didn't try too hard on the rest of it, and I think I did a pretty good job.
