Ceramic Collages in Progress

I like to use thin ceramic models to make collage work.Part of the relative small and thin work is ceramic and another part (the background )of the collage is a large print.The print is a computer painting ,many of the images in the print are retouched ceramics.For the moment I work with flat prints, but I plan to invert the print into a sort of semi relief-I have to investigate a technique with blue foam to do that further.Some examples of the prints.

Breaking News

Beside the miniatures I have made now for my tiles a crackle slip which I can wet again and model(with a sheet of transparent plastic between the modeltool and the tile).To my cat tile are added small silkscreen made black images.I plan a city serie with my cat as the tourist and for each town characteristic buildings.Rob

Ceramic Miniature Sculpture

It is fun to add mini clay sculptures to my already fired tile. I have made sofar a buste of Chopin,coins,stamps,buildings and cars.The pieces need not much material use, and can made in a mini studio.I sculp the miniatures on plaster with a piece of paper and a sheet of plastic between the casting clay and the model tool.Also I use small brushes and casting clay to raise and paint the model.Rob

Jewelry for Fishes

I ám working at a serie of plates with fish images dressed up with jewelry and I 'borrowed 'Obama 's family name as an example for a frontdoor name plate.Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.Rob

Yes we can(...smile)

I plan to do a portrait of Obama.Also I ám working at a surreal piece with a steamtrain,a horse,and continents.With the concept text 'Iron horses are animals too'.That is true the engine of the train has the same strenght as 3000 horses.Rob

Animals are People too

People has often likeness with an animal,no wonder,People are animals too.The male chimp in my tile looks a bit like...?.Of course so there is any resemblance it is unintended and my fault.Next time I do a serious portrait .Rob

My First Grey Hair

I was a little suffering from psychological depression lately, and when looking in the mirrow I saw even a first grey hair!I don't like pills and the best way to halt

grey hair(and keep haircoloring away) is to tell myself everyday a joke.Here two versions of a clown;"the friends will be friends'' clown is ready and the ''My first grey hair''clown stills need a firing.Rob
