This is Beholder 14, another beholder with teeth in relief instead of an actual mouth cavity with dozens of needle-like teeth.

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.

Menorah with Spirals
This is my first menorah of the year. The spiral pattern is from a Halloween candle of the female monster from The Bride of Frankenstein.
Unfortunately, due to a random kiln accident, it's probably not salable. Another piece was placed too close to it in the glaze kiln and became fused to it. That beige blob is my initials and the white dot in the upper left corner of the initials is where I had to pry the other piece off of it. It was very sharp and it made me bleed.

Kalbon the Cambion Devil
This is my miniature of Kalbon, a Cambion devil and one of the main villains in Beyond the Crystal Cave. Actually, Kalbon is the consort of the main villain, the hag Soryth.
The mini is off model for a cambion devil, but I wanted to use the ape mold for the face. It makes him seem more bestial and vicious than a more humanoid design would.

Unfired Otyugh
I took a break from the beholders and made an otyugh, a D&D monster than looks something like a pile of garbage with an irregular jagged slash for a mouth and spiked tentacles. This one came out too cute for my taste. I think it's the legs. It looks like a slightly toothier version of one of those Mr. Men characters.
And this is another menorah, although the old lady in the synagogue gift shop said that Orthodox Jews can't use menorahs if the candles (except for the shammus) aren't all on the same level. I, apparently, was the (half-) Jew who didn't deserve to led out of Egypt.

Ent #2 with Foliage

Ent #2
This is my second ent/treant,
based on this digital image by SirJarva on deviantart.
I didn't bother trying to replicate the lush foliage, but I'm going to make up for it plugging some broccoli into its hole.
