The amazing art of MJ Lai (Mrs. Tokutake)

[Maiden69]

I used a strong hands 3rd hand arm when welding a while ago, they hold heavy steel pieces, so a ceramic pot wouldn't be a problem for them. You could have the clamp modified to have a bolt with 2 large cushioned fender washers and hold the pot from the bottom through a drainage hole. There are a few options made for over head cameras as well that may work.

I admired your pieces at PBE 2024. I hope that your hand heals and that you are soon able to paint pots again!

I saw a video once of someone painting intricate stuff and they had a cartoonishly large pillow they rested their hand on. I might have figured out something.

Not really art, but trying to make some promo materials for the club because right now all they have is a wall of text trifold pamphlet with a section you fill out to mail in a check to join the club

Pottery for sale! These are my take homes from PBE. See anything you like pm me and I’ll send more photos. Instagram and fb are much easier for me to reply in

It’s that time of year where I need wacky or serious pot motif inspiration! I also cherish memes.

I would love to see a rectilinear pot where each side is a panel of a 4-panel comic. I think your art style would lend itself to that.

OMG (7yo girls voice).

My daughter might die if I gave her a K-POP Demon Hunters pot... These for nationals?

My daughter is obsessed with this movie, so I get to hear the songs everytime I am in the car . Excited to see how this turns out!

 

[RJG2]

everytime I am in the car

Yep! Luckily I'm an old raver, and pop doesn't bother me. Hopefully my kids don't torture their grandads with it though - not sure either of them could handle it.

GSBF just released Nao’s talk on their YouTube and I was cracking up at his sprinkling of memes throughout the presentation.

I’m always telling him to gaijin smash when we’re in Japan, he gets pretty mortified at the suggestion in whatever situation we’re in
