You are very talented, I love your sculptures, especially your Cephalosexual Hermaphrodite ( I have to admit, I copied the title ) Looking forward to see more

Hey, long time no talk. In case you were wondering, this is riceballclubdotorg's newer, more professional account.

Not that I've actually managed to post anything.
Of all of the people I favourited on my old account, you are one of the people whose art inspires me the most, which is why you're the first person I'm watching on the new account.

How have you been?

Hey there. Thanks for the comments. I love the astrology pieces and the photo of you with the alchemical symbols. Super cute.

Your sculptures are absolutely fantastic!

What I find particularly interesting is your creativity with thinking of the "gender" of the chemicals in your glazes when making each one of them, incredibly fascinating. It opens up a whole new world of meaning that could be possible in art...

Ouroborealis In reply to Karithina [2009-11-16 21:41:29 +0000 UTC]

thank you! Im glad you're excited about that idea, now if only i could continue to produce i could elaborate on it XD

Karithina In reply to Ouroborealis [2009-11-17 06:04:59 +0000 UTC]

Haha not a problem
Awwh, is it the price of the materials or time constraint stopping you from producing?

Ouroborealis In reply to Karithina [2009-11-23 05:03:21 +0000 UTC]

I don't have a studio to work in, that's the problem . I need a printing press and a well ventilated room with some industrial grade acids. Fortunately its only a matter of getting into a junior college art class to access these things. Hopefully soon i'll be back in the mix.

Ouroborealis In reply to Ouroborealis [2009-11-23 05:22:10 +0000 UTC]

oh yea, and for the statues i need to find a way to get ahold of an affordable way to fire my clay pieces, probably community college again.

IGot-Myxomatosis In reply to Ouroborealis [2009-03-15 05:29:36 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh. All time favorite is OK Computer. Gotta love it. Right now I've been listening to Radiohead when they were called On A Friday back in the 80's. It's different, but I can still get down pretty hard to it.

Eh, took me some time to get used to, but I love Thom so much. haha. I have to say, it's pretty good for something created in to the 80's! Check it out. Search for On A Friday Demo.

i'm two steps ahead of you.
i've already hidden his comments and blocked him. sorry you're having to put up with that bullshit. a couple years ago i had someone doing about the same thing... even went so far as to try to get me fired from teaching... but my boss just laughed all it really does is make whoevers doing it look pathetic - dont let it get to you.
