It’s a new year, and we’ve come to a final installment of watercolor sketches based on the watercolor sketch resolution I made last January. Who would have thought 12 months would pass so quickly?
But never fear; although I may not be slaving to a monthly watercolor sketch quota in 2012, I plan to take my learnings from the sketch exercises to create more exhibition- and sale-worthy pieces throughout the next year. In fact, I’ve even started a new series in the last week. Check out “Killer Poms” below and after the jump. Many of these will be available for sale.
Killer Pom 03 - Here's a look at one painting from a series called "Killer Poms" (5"x7" - Contact for pricing). Check out the others after the jump!
Killer Poms!
I’m a huge fan of pomegranates and of sci-fi monsters, so hybridizing the two in my imagination has turned into a fun series of pieces large and small. Watercolor turned out to be a great medium for a concept as grotesque and bloody as killer pomegranates. I’ve noted the pieces for which you should contact me for pricing; and if there is enough demand, I may explore making prints.
This will be a continuing series from me, so stay tuned for updates as new pieces are posted.
Salivation - In an anti-Kincaidian scene, a giant pomegranate monster is about to gobble up a helpless hummingbird. 12" x 16" on 300lb coldpress. Contact for pricing
Splitjaw #1 - Possibly my favorite piece, inspired by the split-jaw monsters in so many sci-fi films. A soft-focus butterfly in the foreground is about to be lunch. 16" x 12" on 300lb coldpress. Contact for Pricing.

A sketch of a sliced pomegranate. This helped me to understand the structure for the series.
This sketch came about as I was playing around with the concept of bloody pomegranates.
