MUG'GED_ f. EC(H)O PARK POTTERY

A few weeks ago we headed over to Echo Park Pottery to color mugs for LA artist Peter Shire and The Ecology Center.  Having missed the mug making session the previous week, we met Mr. Shire for the first time and spent a Sunday hard at work dipping a few hundred mugs in glaze.  Mugs are one of Echo Park Pottery's staple items, and the mugs we dipped are now on sale at the studio of their making and the Eco Center's store.  Nearly a dozen of them made it home with Lori and I!

The mugs are a rolled slab construction with variously pointy and half round handles that are surprisingly comfortable to hold.  They are glazed in stripes of yellow, green, pink, blue, and brown with white rings around the lip.

Itineraries

These drawings track my movements in the second half of September 2010... walking, biking, driving, train-ing. This was supposed to be a long-term project over many months but that never happened.

A Su Gusto

Months and months ago, I flew to Costa Rica and labored in a jungle to build a hut.

Someday I will...

These are all over the place right now, but they are so incredibly awesome I have to post them here.  Eric Fisher mapped geotagged images on Flickr of cities around the world, and came up with these beautiful and somewhat abstracted maps.  Too bad LA's is not as pretty as the rest. I want these on posters.
