Every artist’s journey has a starting point—a moment where an ambitious idea meets the raw reality of the clay. Today, I wanted to take a look back at some of my earlier creative works: a pair of hand-carved, Gundam-inspired tea cups featuring the iconic Zaku and Z’Gok. Long before I started experimenting with taller canvases…
Exploring different ways of making Gundam-inspired ceramic functional ware: I found that a taller, larger surface provides a better canvas for the detailed carving I want to achieve, giving me more creative flexibility. I recently came across some fan art with a front view of the RX-78-2 and Zaku II that was pretty cool, so…
In the ancient world, dragons weren’t just decorations; they were guardians of the elements. I sculpted this face to look as though it’s pushing through the very surface of the cup, emerging from a deep, oceanic blue. This isn’t just a vessel; it’s a piece of mythology you can hold in your hand. It’s designed…
Ever wondered what happens when a giant mecha meets a lump of clay? Well, meet the MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame—in mug form!Bringing this iconic suit to life meant getting messy. I spent hours “mining” into leather-hard clay, carving out deep armor plates and mechanical joints to give it that beefy, 3D feel. Once the…
I’ve always been captivated by the shifting tides and the hypnotic, synchronized movement of a school of fish—that fluid dance of many that feels like a single living organism. In this piece, I wanted to capture that pulse. I sculpted the handle to mimic the rugged tools of a fisherman—the toggle of a net or…
Lately, I’ve been craving something… heavier. Something moody. I wanted to capture that exact, luscious shade of a deep red wine—that perfect Raspberry that looks like it has a hundred stories to tell. These mugs are exactly what I wanted. It’s not just “red”—it’s deep. The bowl was a bit more of a “let’s see…
I dug this one out from a while back. It was an early experiment, trying to see if I could mash up the boxy lines of a Gundam with the flow of totem art. I’ve always been curious why a robot face and a carved mask feel so similar to me. The blue glaze did…
Zeta Gundam is in my opinion the most playful. If you have a gunpla, you’ll find the the transformation between robot and jet fighter is amazing.
I spent hours with these pieces. The rhythm of the carving become a form of meditation. There’s something so peaceful about the way the forest-green glaze eventually settles into those grooves like moss over stone. I love how they turn out.
Mazinger Z is another childhood memory I have. I barely remember any plot or the pilot but the robot and the weapons of Mazinger Z have been imprinted in my little mind. I remember pretending my arms amd fists can fly and hit bad guys. LOL
