While Twomkey arts, he has created very few pieces. He has invested most of his energy in his school. His two best known works are the First and Second Parts of Return from Pomegranates, or as popularly known 1 and 2 Poms.

( While it must be noted that they have been both wrapped and unwrapped, out of respect for Twomky no more will be said about that here.) Twomky has been very selective in taking on students. They have to pass the test of being able to exactly copy the detail of one of his works. That detail, from 1Poms. is “45678”. Readers may want to take the test if they want to see how difficult it actually is.
For the special few students who pass the test, Twomky’s curriculum consists of repeated attempt to reproduce another detail of master’s work with as much fidelity as possible, except for when in that one special moment of inspiration a slight variation occurs. Twomky acknowledges that they are not mimics. They are artists, building on the work of their master. at one of the few important art museums fortunate enough have curated a Twomky. At one of the few important art museums fortunate enough have curated a Twomky, one can often see the Twomky student body perched on chairs or stools or in the lotus position behind easels assiduously perfecting their skills, and preparing for the moments of inspiration
The current student roster, each with an example of their specialty. As you can see each student takes the Master’s name as their nom de art.

Art Materials
Like the originals, all of the student work is done on either 8×10 sections of manila folders. All are executed using the Pencilator 4738. Twomky spent many years in the wilderness perfecting the materials for his work. It was a difficult and frustrating time, which included significant loss to the art world when Twomky destroyed all of the pieces he created with the Pencilator 4734.

Controversy
The perfected Pencilator, the 4738, was named by the adding the last two numbers of on the individual component pencils. The art critic Irene Cervesa Y Servesia: raised the question, ” If another Pencilator was constructed of different component pencils whose last two numbers also added up to 38 would that not be just as powerfully artistic an instrument as the original 4738.” The matter is now on the verge of getting out of hand as L. Xkanazy is in the process of creating such a Pencilator. It remains to be seen if such an instrument can actually be created, but if anyone can, Xkanazy is probably the the person.
