Oh hey, it’s indigenous peoples day!
I’m a reconnecting Cherokee artist working with digital art, printmaking, and clay sculpture and pottery (:

A digital painting of a person standing in front of a Mississippian-style shell gorget. The gorget features an incised design of a panther, which is sharing its head with the headless human figure. The person is pale skinned, wearing a ribbon shirt and clay beads, and holding a Cherokee style pottery bowl with an incised looped design.

A digital illustration done over a photo of a campfire showing an out of place, painted-looking wolf walking at the edge of the firelight, looking across the fire at the viewer. It is backed with a dull red and its breath is visible in a plume from its snout.

I'm cleaning up my shop and found two nearly-finished iridescent trans flag stained glass suncatchers that I had forgotten about but went ahead and wrapped up tonight. I'd love to find them homes — they're pretty big (11.5"x7.5"), $200 each. DM if you're interested! 💖

this came out so lovely I am super happy with it!
this is the first piece I tried out a new wood finish on and I love the color. for those interested I am now using tried and true wood finish (linseed oil / beeswax) it seems to hold up to water better than the cutting board oil I used before!

Yes! I have seen this method work fine without slip but you risk more peeling/worse adhesion without using slip in my experience, though air bubbles are easier to squeeze out without slip :3

Definitely bisque fire in between!! :3

Yesss I have a hoard of a bunch of different sponges for glazing. I love the natural sponges for more rough texture and makeup sponges are perfect when you want super clean fine gradients!!

Wiping underglaze wash off the bison pipe! 🔥 finished photos soon 👀

Luke 🐾 @nevesceramics.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!! Hell yeah go for it!! It's really fun and a nice way for me to play with illustrating And clay at the same time :3

Luke 🐾 @nevesceramics.bsky.social · 3d

This time I just used a black underglaze wash over the initial painting of browns!! But at cone 6 I bet that an iron oxide wash would look very similar? I applied the brown underglazes in layers from dark to light with a sponge too to make things have a smoother color gradient :3

I'm having so much fun laying beads of metal over @marandart.bsky.social's sketches!
Seriously, new favorite art technique unlocked, it feels so good to make these!
