One subset of my overall artistic output is my clay works.  While trying to maintain a connection to the playful pop culture undertones and personal doodles of my 2-dimensional work, my clay pieces strive to expand my palette by including references to ruin/ruins.  Sun-bleached billboards, skeletal remains of Greco-Roman temples, and the dilapidated carcass of a defunct roadside Denny's restaurant are now welcome additions to the world of Captain Galactikka, fast food nibbles, pungent color schemes, and meaning full/less sloganization.
