Max Sugarman – Foster Machinery
Please come play with the interactive clay sculpture. I created this small collection of mystery objects and only later realized that it functions just like a puzzle. Whatever! Come play with me! They are smooth and nice to touch… mostly. Just be careful because it’s a little sharp in a few spots where the rusty […]
Max Sugarman – Enjoy Rust.
I like collecting trash off the street. But only good trash. I won’t just take anything. I want metal, nails, screws, bolts, rust. I pick them up off the ground and put them in my pocket when no one’s looking, and when I get home, I put them in a mug on my shelf with […]
Simone Thilges-Manansala – You Are My Sunshine
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you’ll never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away,” sang a mother to her toddler in the bus seats across from me. My mother used to sing that to me, and her father to […]
Yume Hoshino – MO-BUBBLES
After a long day of swinging through the city, causing chaos on every block, three monkeys hurry home to scrub away the dirt and grime from their wild adventure. At the base is Big Foot Darry, a pilates enthusiast with exceptional stability and core strength. Resting on Darry’s shoulder is Chive, the eldest while also […]
Yume Hoshino – To Frame a Dream
It’s still a mystery what goes on in my mind after 11pm, but sometimes I have to drop my busy thoughts from the day, and save it for the next morning. There are two parts of life, day and night. The drawing was the first piece I worked on, representing the calm state I am […]
Anna Wong – Noooooo…
Lured in by the toasted aroma, you walk into a cozy bakery. You’re greeted with dainty baked goods instead of the seller, and begin choosing which delicacy to have for breakfast. (Anything’s a delicacy when you’re broke.) You stare at the glistening egg tarts, but your frugality kicks in as you see the ‘Buy One Get One […]
CLAY’SMIND: DOHCAST
As a kid, I pictured my future self in interviews, even before I knew what I was going to do for my career and life. I’ve always imagined myself in conversation with interviewers asking me about my favorite cartoons and what I enjoy doing. Although it sounds self-centered, it’s something I’ve thought a lot about […]
Clay of the Dead: Susan the Time Snail
For my fourth post, I created Susan The Time Snail. He is a distant relative of Gary, SpongeBob’s pet snail, which is why he might be recognizable. As I mentioned earlier, Susan is a time snail, which means he can travel through time, however after accidentally creating one too many time paradoxes, he has decided […]
Clay of the Dead: Troll baby
The newest edition to my undead monster crew is named Moosh. They are a baby, but because of their troll heritage, they have the face of an old man. Due to the size of their head, they cannot stand up for too long, and must bring a toad stool with them wherever they go […]
Clay of the Dead: Puddle Monster
This is Yams the Puddle Monster and the second monster in my column Clay of the Dead. He often hides in puddles (hence the name) but unfortunately due to the dirty, polluted water of the city, he has been dyed black. Yams enjoys eating peppermint bark but hates the sound of dry leaves. He lives to jumpscare people […]
