Let’s create something special together.
Each memorial tile is handcrafted with care, honoring your loved one’s spirit. I don’t sell these tiles—I offer them in exchange for a donation that supports my work as an artist living with disability. Your support helps me continue creating meaningful, healing art.
Continuing a Legacy of Love Through Memorial Art — With Your Support
Hi, my name is Matthew or “TooTall”, and I wanted to share a little bit of my journey with you. In July of 2024, I underwent major back surgery to repair a severely pinched spinal cord. I went into it hopefully believing that I would heal and return to a normal life. Unfortunately, my surgery became what doctors call a “failed back surgery,” and my life has changed in ways I never expected.
Even with a beautiful wheelchair gifted to me by my medical team, I can no longer sit upright for more than a few hours at a time without needing to lie flat to relieve the pressure on my spine. After working as a Community Manager for over 30 years, I realized that going back to a traditional 9-to-5 job was no longer possible for me.
Right now, like many others facing medical hardships, I find myself caught in government limbo. Sadly, it’s very common for first-time applications for long-term disability through Social Security to be denied. I am currently in the process of appealing the decision, but it may take a year or more before I am able to present my case before an administrative law judge. While I wait, I’m doing everything I can to continue creating meaningful art and supporting myself through this challenging time.
I’ve been a ceramicist for 30 years. After getting sober in 1995 (thank you, God), ceramics became my therapy, my calling, and my way of giving back to the world. While I can no longer throw large pieces like I used to, I still have the ability to create handmade memorial tiles and ceramic necklaces — pieces that help people honor and remember their loved ones.
Through your donation, I’m honored to offer different art pieces that can be found here on my website: https://www.ceramictattooart.com/how-to-order-support.html
"Free U.S. shipping included for all thank-you gifts. International donors may require an additional shipping charge."
Your support helps me continue creating tributes that honor life, love, and memory.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
If you’re interested in a memorial urn, I can still create those too — with the help of a talented friend who assists with the heavy lifting. Urns are priced separately to cover additional costs.
Your kindness allows me to continue doing what I love — making art that carries love, remembrance, and healing into the world.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading my story.
Thank you for believing in what I create.
Thank you for helping me keep going.
"Every piece I create is a tribute — not just to those we love and miss, but to the strength it takes to keep creating through life’s hardest moments."
