Nicely rendered. Beautiful glazes and colors. Great job.
(kind of reminds me of the ancient steampunk found here:http://americanfederationofficticiousarch.blogspot.com/
The organic rough feel of the ceramic reminds me of the Red Lectroid technology from Buckaroo Banzai.
STEAMPUNK!
So this is designed to defeat airport security in order to allow terrorists from the planet Mongo to hijack planes?
I'm reminded of the gun constructed of the bones of the "special" in David Cronenberg's eXistenZ. There's also something Burroughsian about some of them in their organics. I don't know if the artist was going for something vaguely unsettling, but I hope he wouldn't take it as a negative.
Hmm.... Claypunk? Kilnpunk?
Looks like the ray gun from the early Buck Rogers comic strip. Wasn't that the first ray gun in pop culture? I remember the painted tin models. Some of them even threw sparks.
Cory, thanks for the post! Also, I'm glad to know the Rotwang Retrovivifier will be going to a good home. Happy vivifying!
Reminds me of Jeff Burnette's glass work, which I've loved since forever.
