Nina Kalinkos Is Making Little Guys

Looking to scroll less, but still see some weird clay guys? Join my mailing list at www.eclecticclay.com!

I need to go see Wildwood at least a few more times to drink in all the details.

The Court of the Trash Kingdom, featuring Bishop Pigeon and Knight Skunk!

Kiddo's Frieren costume is finished - I think I did pretty well turning one dress into three pieces!

Do it; help @trashmobminis.bsky.social and @yvethered.bsky.social get more work!

Today's hyperfocus - oldest kiddo's Frieren costume, for which I am repurposing a thrift store dress. Wish me luck!

Just scheduled both my Instagram and Facebook accounts for deletion.

If you see this, post a skeleton!

Pigeon Bishop and Skunk Knight have been bisqued and are on to their final firing!

Progress on @dmacalvert.bsky.social's Viking Bear; definitely rusty on my anthro figures, and capes....ugh. Still, I like his big beefy arms.

Behold! The Monarchs of Trash!

Glamor shots of the clowder that just headed home.

Time for a round of This Goes, but with my whole damn house...🥲

After what feels like a million setbacks and minor disasters, I've finished this 9 cat commission! Bless this customer; their patience and kindness throughout was incredible, and I will genuinely never forget it.

Bruce Coville is going to be at one of our local book shops. I've got to get this signed; I've had it since elementary school, and it's definitely at least partly why I wanted to be an artist.

Bilbo got skunked last night; in spite of my best efforts to clean, the house still smells kind of...spicy.

The Trash Kingdom grows with a skunk knight (I want to tweak them a bit, but color will help) and a pigeon bishop.

If anyone could help a disabled, housebound dude who’s currently without care out with the cost of some food and meds, I’d appreciate it. Sorry. ko-fi.com/malibudarby

Trying to think/work today is like chugging through molasses...

LOOOOOOOOOOOK

I keep misplacing my headphones. Hopefully @nora.zone' mascot Bauble will make them a bit more obvious.

How do I have no business cards for the weekend? A grave error! Anyway, today's all about packing for this show. Come see me and all my little weirdos!

The summer did not unfold as I had anticipated & now I’m in big debt after moving for grad school on a different timeline, thanks to my ex and his family. If you can help, I’d be so grateful. I am living on student loans, but it’s not enough unless the goal is met. www.gofundme.com/f/help-secur...

Today's ceramic creatures - the King and King of Trash!

It's September, the PERFECT time to think about the holidays! No, really. I am open for commissions, and have four slots available for guaranteed holiday delivery! Commission a pet, fursona, TTRPG character, or anything else for yourself or a loved one. More details at www.eclecticclay.com!

The number of obviously genAI flyers I've gotten from the school district this year is....just exhausting. What if I started marking all the errors in red pen and sending them back in a folder? I'm sure the HSA would love that.

I've got a new ceramic creature in the works - the CATerpillar!

THURSDAY ART SHOW! If you are a working artist (i.e. you depend on income from your art) just respond to this post with your non-pornographic, non-violent, non-Al generated CAT-RELATED art/crafts and I will repost! From now until 7 pm EDT. Include any relevant links like your website or etsy!

If you commission me, I genuinely remember you forever.
