I noticed the two beholders I had on my shelf in the studio gallery were missing. I spent last night and this morning worrying if they had been stolen and what the appropriate course of action would be if they had. Would I be justified in removing all of my work from the gallery? Could I possibly convince the powers that be at the studio to compensate me with two months of free membership? Could I get them to forgive my current $40 clay debt? Would I be obligated to leave the studio entirely? I received a text that the two of them had sold for $30. I'm relieved they weren't stolen, but I'm disappointed that I asked that little for them.
While swimming laps and worrying about the missing beholders, I decided to make an image of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs with the words "Hate Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry."

Aberrant Ceramics is the artwork of Aaron Nosheny,
ceramic artist and potter in Tucson, Arizona.
I work in the medium of stoneware clay and make hand-built pottery, sculpture, hamsas, ornaments, masks, and a variety of other forms.
I’m a self-taught autistic artist working in my medium for over twenty years. I like monsters, insects, weird animals, body horror, folk horror, horror comedy, horror in general, Halloween decorations, fast food mascots, kitsch – all of these creep into my work, but there’s really no overarching theme.
I am in love with my medium. I love the process of frantically birthing clay monstrosities, subjecting them to an epic trial by fire, and sending them out into the world.
