2. Peace Pumpkin

I don't have a picture, but the last two years, mine have the peace we've carved the peace sign

3. I did that too, last year. Haven't decided yet what to do this year.

I held my peace sign pumpkin face together with toothpicks, but it probably would've worked better if I'd sculpted carefully (like in the pic at the top but a peace sign) instead of just hacking out the pieces. It fell apart after a few hours, but that was ok I guess because it lasted just long enough.

4. My Favorite Pic Died With My Hard Drive

I can only describe it as a double-cheeked pumpkin giving everyone the moon.

Matcom would have been proud of my neighbor's assigimation.

7. Pretty Much But Without The Fingerprints

And the crack and on the posterior of a straw dummy.

Heck, I thought Matcom heard about it and had the Bum Fed-Ex'ed to him before I thought about it.

6. I wish I could work in the medium of pumpkin the way others do

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Ha, the great pumpkin artists are all dead

All the current ones are poseurs. There has been no good pumpkin art since the 1960s.

man, those were the days.

These kids nowadays just don't get it.

:just kidding: That lead pumpkin is fricking incredible. What a piece of work that is! I don't think I'd have the patience to do so much detail in something that's gonna rot.
