I loaded my kiln for the first time! I’m doing a gold luster firing and I’m so excited to see how it turns out.

I know people keep coming back to this point but it is painful how incompetent this administration is on top of being so evil. I’ve known slices of American cheese that are sharper than these people.

This itty bitty cyclops ceramic mermaid has big feelings.

I’ve decided to stop spending hours of time applying to artist “opportunities”. I really just want to make the art that I want to make more than I want to get acceptance from the larger art world. I want to make meaningful art rather than seeking approval through conforming to art trends.

I was already being ground to dust by capitalism, and now this?

I’ve been really into making these spider-eyes lady vessels but the interior glaze, which drips over the back edge, is especially sick. erikarier.etsy.com/listing/4319...

The world is being destroyed by people who think they deserve more when what they already have is far more than they ever deserved.

I’m so tired of feeling that all of our lives are being completely fucked because one old man is having a giant temper tantrum because he feels his own mortality and he is surrounded by people vying for whatever scraps they can snatch from him before he’s gone.

I get asked pretty regularly if I ship internationally and for a while I have not but I’m going to start shipping zines internationally on a limited basis. To order zines for international shipping please contact me directly and I’ll get you a shipping estimate. Thank you!

Yes the world is imploding but I made these wine cups with black cats and skull flowers for you to cry into.

Finished cutting a fresh batch of Walking Mountains. Even though I released this book a few years ago it remains my most popular. This book is the first one where I decided to hand cut each page. The story follows a group of women who have been forced from their home and are in search for a new one.

The first big hurdles of building out my home studio are complete! I have a kiln and it has electric! So excited to be able to work in one studio soon in my home.

While I’m wrapping up my next batch of ceramics, I thought that perhaps I’d share some of the art zines I’m making these days. First up is my zine, From My Sketchbook. This is a collection of comics and sketches from the little notebook I carry around with me. erikarier.etsy.com/listing/1778...
