24 Jun 2014 Watermelon sculptures extroadinaire!

Watermelon helmets are popular items of crude headgear at summer sporting arenas – but who knew the fruit could be turned into works of art! American artist Clive Cooper decided to approach watermelon like you would a pumpkin, carving faces and animals that range from funny to grotesque.

Some of them are a little freaky, some of them less so, but one thing they all have in common is their incredible intricacy.

These sculptures are so impressive they have definitely just raised the bar for watermelon carving. The craftsmanship and creativity is extraordinary as Cooper uses both the watermelon rind and flesh to produce incredibly striking sculptures. You will never look at another watermelon the same.
