An artist's depiction of the Tully monster:
Despite the way the name sounds, Tully monster was not a character on Sesame Street.
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.

Tully Monster
This is a clay interpretation of the fossil organism known as the Tully monster. The Tully monster is the state fossil of Illinois, the only place it has been found. The fossil is not well enough preserved to clearly place the animal in any extant phylum.
