Whales, Minimalism, and Mr. Polyp

Here are a few new pieces done in underglaze and clear glazed (except for the first set which is just underglazes, and sparsely done at that).

My tribute to minimalism. Four tiny characters with underglaze only--it fired smooth but the bodies are all buffed unglazed ceramic. The set includes (from left to right): Sleepy Cone, Deceased Sphere (comes in three pieces), Homicidal Cube (with a bloody knife taped to his...head?), and Lusty Oval Thing (no comment).
Flapjack Whales--these little whales evolved into being flat...sounded like a good idea at the time. Each comes with one, two, or one and a half barnacle friends.
Mr. Polyp and Two Dumb Stupids That He Hates A Whole Freaking Lot--This is Mr. Polyp, he has two friends that go everywhere with him--and he hates them a whole freaking lot.
Difficult to adequately photograph, three heads on one little body
