This piece is inspired by the split-jawed monsters in sci-fi films, like the Aliens facehugger and Blade 2 split-face vampires. It’s a sibling piece to “Salivation.”

Killer Pom Studies

+

  • Watercolor painting of a pomegranate splitting in half, like a set of jaws, and spraying blood-red liquid into the air above it
  • A watercolour painting of a group of smiling, demonic pomegranate monsters

Various watercolor studies, 5″ x 7″ each

These studies were all part of the Killer Poms series, exploring various versions of monstrous pomegranate plants before I settled on Salivation and Splitjaw.

December Watercolors & New Series

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?

I plan to take my learnings from the sketch exercises from 2011 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.
