Jack-o'-Lantern Spectacular Pumpkins

Here are some more pumpkins created for the Jack-o'-Lantern Spectacular.  These were drawn by artist Edward Cabral, but I ended up doing the carving because Edward wasn't around and the pumpkins needed to go out.

Art Pumpkins: American Gothic

 Here is my second American Gothic pumpkin for the Jack-o'-Lantern Spectacular. The first one, drawn by another artist, had its face (or more specifically, the farmer's face) eaten by a squirrel. I created a replacement, but it was eaten by a deer. Here is yet another. I haven't seen it lit up.

This time, I gave the farmer a widow's peak and fangs (though the fangs are hard to make out in the photos.)  The phases of the moon frame the image.

Wyoming pumpkin - drawn and carved

Here are two views of one I finished yesterday (for the Jack-o'-Lantern Spectacular at Iroquois Park).  I think it's the best I've done this year.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Pumpkin

The Shining Pumpkin

Here is a photo from before it was quite finished. I still had to cut around the bottom of the door and the lettering on the sides ("all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy")

The Martian Pumpkin, Flying Monkey Pumpkin

Pumpkin sculpture

I carved this for my daughter's class's Halloween party last Friday.

I brought some extra pumpkins and my pumpkin carving tools and let them hack away:

Pumpkin horses carved

The horses I drew last week, carved today.  They are probably not going out tonight, but maybe in the next few days.

Watermelon hippo

I did this more than a month ago and forgot to post a photo.

Watermelon with teeth

I carved this at the request of my daughters' art teacher as a centerpiece for the school art show.

Another sculpted pumpkin

I had a hard time with his teeth; his fangs just didn't work out.
