Hey, long time no talk. In case you were wondering, this is riceballclubdotorg's newer, more professional account.
Not that I've actually managed to post anything.
Of all of the people I favourited on my old account, you are one of the people whose art inspires me the most, which is why you're the first person I'm watching on the new account.
How have you been?

Your sculptures are absolutely fantastic!
What I find particularly interesting is your creativity with thinking of the "gender" of the chemicals in your glazes when making each one of them, incredibly fascinating. It opens up a whole new world of meaning that could be possible in art...

Right now its Hail to the Thief definitely, without a doubt. And you?

Ahhh. All time favorite is OK Computer. Gotta love it. Right now I've been listening to Radiohead when they were called On A Friday back in the 80's. It's different, but I can still get down pretty hard to it.
