Golgotha Graphics is the webspace for Matt Godden, an artist, designer, graphic novellist, teacher and student based in Sydney, Australia.

As an artist I'm interested in comics and graphic novels, sculpture, drawing, photography, really anything that provides a creative outlet. For the past few years I've been working part time towards a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the National Art School in Sydney, where I've specialised towards sculpture and photography.

In graphic novels, I've been working on a book, Surfing The Deathline, for a few years. It's a story focusing on popular media ideas about geopolitics, theocracy, faith, terrorism, poverty and isolation, in the face of growing machine intelligence and human obsolescence. Stylistically, it sits firmly in the aesthetic of early 1980's cyberpunk.

 

animal teapot

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Here’s one of my three teapots.

It’s constructed as a wheel thrown bowl, that’s deformed, and has a top added, along with the fins that are moulded to fit the thumb and middle finger. The lid is a little thrown and turned bowl which could theoretically be filled with milk to warm as the tea draws. The lid stays level as you tilt the pot under it, and you pretty much have to go past vertical to get it to fall out.

If you click the image, give it a bit to load the Quicktime file. It’ll let you drag the view around once it’s loaded.
