About Me
What's to say? I like videogames, otherwise, why would I be here? Other than that, I'm a college student (UC Berkeley 2010)and I do journalism. I was Co-Editor in Chief at my junior college paper, The Oak Leaf, until I transfered to Berkeley. You can read it online here. I even had a games column which is surprisingly popular, and people get a kick out of it.

I also write for a tech blog at LogicTV. It's a cool; check it out.

Here's my Vox account

Myspace

And I have a Facebook, but I still don't really understand it. Hit me up if you feel like it!

Super Mario Ceramics

So back in high school, I had a couple ceramics classes that I thought were pretty sweet. Made a bunch of stuff, but a highlight was a tea set I made in the Mario theme.



Now this has been about 3 years, so the Mario hot topic fad hadn't quite started so much, but I'm pretty pleased with the result.



The Teapot is alright. i don't really like the lumpy nature of the thing, and it's too heavy, and it's cracked from the firing, but those adorable little eyes are so cute. This was hard to make as well, so respect the damn thing.



This bomb-omb sugar holder came out really nice,but it doesn't make a very good sugar holder. Maybe coins? I dunno, but I like it.



Finally, I had a spoon made. It's cute, but not the most useful. I'd have to say that everything here is very high school, but what more can you ask for?

I actually made a mini-Toad clay statue when I was in 5th grade art class. However, it sucked major ballsack since it was not painted and...well...I was in 5th grade.

But that is pretty fan'fucking'tastic.
