<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Stories Of The Road.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br />I have spent
most of the last 50 years as an artist/potter. Most of that time was
dedicated to selling my wares at Art shows all over the country. In
my travels I have encountered some weird, funny, frightening and
surreal people and situations. I thought I would share some of them
with you. They are in no particular chronological order.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Angels Of The Mojave: ca. 1998.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>It was summer and we lived in Tucson
Arizona. The show scene in the southwest was dead for the summer due
to the heat, If I wanted to make a living I would need to seek venues
in more moderate climes. I was headed to the San Francisco Bay area
for the Los Altos Art And Wine Festival. My old 1983 Ford van was
loaded to the top with pottery and display materials. Hopes were high
for a successful show.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>I cut across the Mojave desert in
order to bypass Los Angeles. The old Ford was running fine through
San Berdoo and Adelanto. I was making good time. I turned west onto
highway 58 at Kramer Junction and headed for the town of Mojave, some
30 miles distant.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Just as I passed Boron the Ford
started acting up. I noticed that it would seem to bog down and
starve for fuel if I pushed down on the throttle too hard. It was
still working fine at cruising speed so I decided to make it to
Mojave where there were auto parts and services. The situation was
getting worse. The van was getting slower and any throttle above an
idle would cause it to starve for fuel. The fuel pump was giving up.
I was down to idling along at 20 miles per hour. Just as I decided to
take the next chance to turn around and make for Kramer Junction the
worst happened.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Road construction! The highway
narrowed to a single lane in both directions. Concrete barriers were
set to funnel traffic to one lane. The barriers were set up on either
side of the lane to form a corridor that was about 10 miles long.
There was no place to pull onto the shoulder or exit this corridor. I
was stuck nursing a sick, ever slowing, vehicle with no place to get
out of the way. I felt truly sorry for my fellow travelers stuck
behind this, now 15 miles per hour, Tortoise. In this case the
Tortoise would have to finish first before the Hares could resume
California speed. Oh yeah, those horns really helped speed me up.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>Close to 45 minutes later we emerged
from the concrete tunnel. I pulled off the road at the first wide
shoulder I came across. I exited the vehicle and faced the traffic
that had been bottled up behind me. I shrugged my shoulders, meekly
waved and mouthed , "I'm Sorry”. I was greeted with honking
horns, rude hand gestures and a string of nasty epithets being hurled
in my direction. I have heard all those words before but not in such
creative combinations.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">As the angry circus parade faded
unto the distance I turned to the problem at hand. I loosened the
fuel line and turned the key to engage the starter. Barely a trickle
of gas seeped out. I needed a fuel pump and the only place to get one
was Mojave and Mojave was 10 miles away. Cell phones were not as
common as they are today and I didn't have one.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>I put on a bright red T shirt (for
better visibility) . I grabbed the warm half-bottle of Dr. Pepper and
with Sammy Davis singing, “What Kind Of Fool Am I” ,(in my head),
I started walking towards Mojave. The town in the distance seemed to
dance and shimmer in the heat waves rising from the asphalt. My gray
hair and full beard were wildly disheveled by the desert wind. I
couldn't imagine anyone would offer me a ride. In fact I would be
suspicious of anyone that would offer a ride to someone that looked
like I did. I was happy that my wife and son hadn't accompanied me on
this trip.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>I had only gone about 50 yards from
the van when a pearl white Cadillac sedan passed me then slowed to a
stop about 100 feet down the road. I wrestled with mixed feelings of
elation and apprehension as I approached the Caddy. Was this a golden
chariot sent to deliver me from this treacherous desert ? Or was it
something more sinister?</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">I approached the car cautiously. The
heavily tinted passenger window slowly rolled down. When I peered in
the window I was stunned. Inside there were no gang bangers, serial
killers, highway robbers or kidnappers. There was only a young mother
and her daughter of about six years old. The mother asked if I needed
help. I told her my story that I needed to get to an auto parts store
in Mojave. She said,“We're going that way”, as she unlocked the
door and invited me in.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>We introduced ourselves. The mother
was Ruth and the little girl, in the back seat, was Angie. As Ruth
pulled the Caddy back on the road she said, “I hope you're not a
serial killer. When we passed you Angie said, “You're not going to
let Santa die are you mama? So I just had to stop”.<br />I assured
her that I was just a crazy potter on my way to a show. I spent the
next few miles explaining to Angie that I wasn't Santa but that I
would put in a good word for her if I ever came across him. I
certainly felt like it was Christmas right now.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Too soon the ride was over. Ruth
stopped in front of an auto parts store and we said our goodbyes.
Angie leaned close and whispered loudly, “I know you are really
Santa”. I whispered back, “I know you are really an angel”. She
giggled. <br />I watched them drive away towards Tehachapi before
turning my attentions to the problem at hand.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>The store was well stocked and the
new fuel pump was in my hand within minutes. My mind turned to the
question of how to get back out to the van. I would need more water
to drink if I were going to walk ten miles in the desert. I figured
that no one was likely to give a lift to a guy carrying a fuel pump
while walking in the desert. I spied a display of plastic gas cans
and hit on an idea. People might be more likely to stop for someone
that had run out of gas. </b>
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>I bought a one gallon plastic gas
can and filled it with water (killing two birds with one stone). </b>
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>It was time to test my luck. I left
the parts store and trekked the eight blocks to the city limit sign.
With some trepidation, I crossed the threshold and was once again on
my own in the desert.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">I had only walked about one hundred
feet past the city limit sign when an old pickup ground to a stop
beside me. A grizzled old face hollered, “Hey...... you need a
lift? It's a bad day to go for a stroll in the desert. Hop In.” He
said his name was Jacob, but everybody called him Jake. He was on
his way to work at the borax mine and was late. I feared his truck
was in worse shape than my van. It shuddered, wobbled and groaned as
we sped along at 85 miles per hour. It only took a few minutes to
cover the ten miles to where I left the van. He slammed on the brakes
and we came to a grinding squeaky stop. “ I'll have one of the guys
from the early shift check on you. Good luck and adios”. He was
gone in a cloud of dust and a shower of gravel.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Replacing the pump was not a hard
job it just required a lot of crawling around with the ants and a few
well placed cuss words. A half hour later I was on the road again.
The old van was running like new.</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b>The rest of the weekend went
smoothly. The show was profitable and the ride home uneventful.</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: #cccccc;">Every time I lose faith in humanity, which is often, I think of the three angels of the Mojave and I feel
better.</span></b></div>

Mostly made from local wild clays, The shapes are thrown on the wheel, distorted and sanded smooth and coated with terra sigillata. The terra sigillata is made from clays that I collect in the wilds of southern Oklahoma.. After burnishing they are fired in saggars with combustibles, salts, oxides and sulphates. Each ingredient adds it's own distinctive effect. The results are mostly unpredictable and unique. The fired pieces are assembled, sealed and buffed with wax to a soft shine.</b><br />

A MILESTONE JUG. Number 200<br /><br />"Colonel Sanders, Chicken Of The South."<br /><br />It seems that while his troops were engaged in a pitched battle the Colonel was getting "fried" in the local tavern.<br />He wasn't alone. There were several other officers present in that tavern. There was Captain Nail, he was getting hammered. General Walls, getting plastered.<br />Any resemblance between this fictitious character and any Colonel Sanders living, dead, or being played by Norm Macdonald, is purely coincidental and just a little ridiculous.<br /><br />A MILESTONE JUG.

On its way to Goddard Center's juried exhibition.<br />It was hand built, from wild mud, coated with Terra Sigillata, buffed and saggar fired. No glaze is used. <br />This is from a greater body of work I'm calling, "Oklayhoma". The pieces will all be made from wild mud, hand dug and processed in Oklahoma. My goal is to use native materials, processes and alternative firing methods to produce a contemporary body of sculpture, marrying the ancient and the modern. This first series is under the subheading "Red River Narrative" this series will be comprised of pieces made from materials sourced within 50 miles of the Red River.</b></span><div>

Without any shade to protect his eyes, Jack went blind. When Halloween came around Jack just grabbed the nearest gourd by the vine and commanded it to guide him to the festivities. The gourd complied. You don't refuse a mad, blind pumpkin.<br />

This is a face jug in progress. This was a difficult piece for me. It is a simple, serene, unremarkable man. There is no social commentary, no demons whispering in his ear, no thoughts or nightmares bursting out of his head. There are no horns, warts, sharp teeth, warty tongues or crazy eyes. There is just this ordinary man with an enigmatic smile and a calm demeanor.<br />
<br />
The neighbors described him as quiet man. He was soft spoken and he kept to himself. They saw him as far from threatening. They described him as a easygoing, often carrying groceries for people. He had an – almost serene – disposition about him. Neighbors are still in shock after.........<br />

<b>Why does the muse strike me at all the most extreme times of the year? I notice that this is happening to other potters right now as well. My theory takes me back to my childhood. The summers here were brutally hot but we really didn't feel the heat as much as we do today. We were conditioned. We had no air conditioning and no one else did either. We coped by opening the doors and windows and using fans to circulate the air. We slept on a screened back porch or in the back yard. During the day I would play in the cool dirt on the shady side of the house. I guess I still am playing in the dirt on the shady side of the house.</b></div>

After bisque firing, stains will be rubbed into the surface and then wiped off to reveal the textures and muddy the colors. It will then be glazed with a clear glaze and fired to about 2200f. I'm wearing my lighted hat. It helps me see all the details. It is great for sculpting as well.<div>

<b><span style="color: lime;">Arjay and Princess waiting for the milk to ripen in the garden.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;">I figure that you can't call yourself a farmer unless you can grow all the food you can consume each year. I have wanted to provide dairy products for us but have no place for a cow or goat. It occurred to me that maybe I could just bypass the cow and plant the empty cartons in the garden and wait for them to become full. I don't know if it will work with plastic containers, but I remember that it worked for the glass bottles we had when I was a kid <br />We would leave the empty bottles on the front porch each evening and they would be full next morning.</span></b><div>
<b><span style="color: #ffe599;"> I have timed the milk plants to ripen in July when the days are 100f or more so the milk will be pasteurized when we harvest. Wish me luck.</span></b><div>

Judges aren't cheap but they can be mighty handy. Actually, this jug just holds Judge Toad's Likker. You can tell by his expression that he is serious about protecting his likker from all the felons, sneak thieves and petty criminals he deals with everyday.<br /></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The glazes and underglazes came out especially nice. The inside is glazed with a lead free glaze and is suitable for any liquid you would care to put in it.</span></div>

I have finally finished my face jug style amplifier. “The Hog Snout” and it works great.<br /><br />The Guitar: I just built this three string, slide, fretless guitar a few months ago. However I used repurposed and history laden stuff for it's construction. <br /><br />The box is an old wine box that was distressed and cut down to size. The corrugated sheet metal top was cut from a piece of barn that was blown on to the property by a tornado on May 5, 1995. It has been laying in a ravine ever since. It has rusted and been used for target practice. I picked a pattern of bullet holes that seemed to be in the right places for the sound holes and painted a bleeding heart around them. The neck is a piece of oak that was reclaimed from a church pew. (Think of the stories it could tell).<br />The Bloody Jug Band sticker is courtesy of our favorite jug band and John Thiesen, who have been great supporters of all the Face Jug potters here and on Ebay. Thank You John and BJB.<br /><br />It sounds pretty cool. Imagine if you smacked an old sheet metal barn with a sock filled with nickels. That would be pretty close to the sound this guitar makes. It's great for the blues</span><br />
