Todd Barricklow's Ribbon.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on January 7, 2006 at 2:03 am

Todd Barricklow makes interesting ceramic tiles – I particularly like this one humbly titled "Ribbon", and almost titled this entry “Neatorama Wins Medal”.

Todd Barricklow is an amazing ceramic artist unlike anything else going on in clay today. a strange cross between woodcuts and sculpture.

I think he also does a lot of art for posters for bands like Fantomas and the Melvins and NoMeansNo
