Whiskey Jugs
A set of ornate handled jugs for storing beverages and/or jet fuel in.
No ICE in my Firewater
I was working on this one while ICE turned Minneapolis into a war zone, hence the name. I based the design off another piece of mine called Imago DEI I was doing during the Hands Off protests the year prior. The themes of that piece were around the many shapes, colors, and sizes captured in the phrase “Made in God’s image” which seemed appropriate to use here as well.
Uncle Molotov’s Special Reserve
I wanted a firewater jug with a lot of emphasis on the ‘fire’ part. In short, I wanted something that looked like a jug of Greek Fire Odysseus would have flung at an enemy trireme.
Granny Rags’ Void Draught
I don’t do much fan art, but I ran into a brick wall of potters’ block while working on this jug and decided to borrow some inspiration from the world of video games. I’d recently started replaying my way through the Dishonored series, which to this day has one of the best visual styles you’ll find in gaming. The pattern on the body of the jugs is the ‘Mark of the Outsider,’ a glyph that the game’s resident demigod uses to brand his servants and grant them powers. The titular Granny Rags is a doddering old woman who you later discover to be a powerful witch and one of the Outsider’s favorite servants. This was my first time using Coyote Glazes line of shinos, and I’m thrilled with how the dark lines of the glyph look like they’ve been seared into flesh.
Blue Pot Still Jug
A simple whiskey jug inspired by the copper pot stills I saw at distilleries in the Scottish highlands when I went a few year ago.
Plump White Whiskey Jug
What it says on the tin: a plump jug with a spotted fluxy white glaze.
Soda on my Whiskey Jug
The first in the series and a happy accident. I was attempting to make a hollow sphere in two parts, and borked up the measurements of the body’s component pieces terribly. Rather than scrap it, I attached a spare teapot spot I had lying around and was so pleased with the result I decided to explore the form more, resulting in the rest of the pieces on this page.
