Gifford Myers' work is filled with humor and wit. I heard that one way he gets inspiration and ideas is driving down to Mexico and purchasing whatever trinkets, dolls or toys he can find at the border. Originally an architect major he decided to go into sculpture and ceramics after he had been working long nights on his school projects and looked down from his classroom to see ceramics students below him smoking, (not cigarettes), and enjoying themselves. The next semester he decided to enroll in almost all ceramics and sculpture classes and the rest is history.
