For folks who like fantastic creatures, here's a Lava Monster! A few illustrators and I were discussing how to create a stone creature who oozed lava from cracks in its hide, so I tried my hand at this fellow.

I love owning sketches by artists, so I make many of mine available to collectors. And I gotta have a few Cranky Birds in every show.

My animal works are most often images that spring from real animals but end up imaginary creatures.

And dragons are animals, right?

My Solo Show and Book Release at Helikon Gallery

https://helikongallery.com/gallery/archive/the-endless-stage-tom-sarmo/

My first ever Solo Exhibition is coming up soon--on June 14th!--and I'm excited to be showing a variety of works! Plus the gallery has published a limited edition, 96 page book filled with my paintings, sketches, process works, and a few of my thoughts.

https://helikongallery.com/gallery/archive/the-endless-stage-tom-sarmo/

 Here's the link to the book (and you can pre-order!):

The Endless Stage book

https://helikongallery.com/gallery/archive/the-endless-stage-tom-sarmo/

 From the book:

The theater’s stage begins and ends at the imagination in this 96 page treasury of paintings, drawings, sketches, and process work spanning 3 years. Tom’s distinct style of art casts a suite of lively characters from the familiar to the fantastic, inhabiting lusciously illustrated settings with a unique, humorous magic. This unprecedented collection of artwork represents the first major retrospective of Sarmo’s beloved artwork.

Included in the exhibition are many of my sketches and preliminary drawings with insights into my techniques and processes.
