The Rage of the Watermelon (Sketch of the Week for Week 37 of 2026)

“Fruit Faces” was my follow up to Pear Week. Again, there is a lot to be said for “volunteer,” garden, and farmer’s market fruit as reference models; they have much more character than what’s on display at a civilized grocery store.

‘course, now I desperately want to hear a mash-up of Julie London’s version of “Watermelon Man” and basically anything from Rage Against the Machine. Is there an AI 🤖✨ that can poop that out for me real quick? Or perhaps do one of you fancy folks have a musical inclination toward such perversion? If so, please send your artistic jipes and musical tomfoollery to dave@davideriknelson.com
