New Photo Series - The Adventures of Rocky and Troy

I was introduced to this line of crazy ceramic critters - Primordials - via Facebook posts by one of our favorite local artists, Alison Price. They're the creation of ceramic artist, Jennifer A Murphy. (You can find Alison's and Jennifer's work at the Tres Leches Art Gallery in the Northrup King Building.)

Initially they didn't appeal to me - I found them to be a bit off-putting.  But they slowly grew on me, and I kept thinking of how fun it would be to photograph them around our neighborhood.  We picked these two guys up during Art Attack! this weekend.  Jenny's Primordials are all one-of-a-kind, with their name etched into a leg.  The orange and yellow fellow is Rockea (which doesn't quite roll off the tongue, so we call him Rocky), and the little guy is Troy.

This is the beginning of what I hope will be a long-running silly series - The Adventures of Rocky and Troy. Below, they join us for brunch at Day Block Brewing.  Let the fun begin!
