2009 Newtown Square Carve

2009 was a big year for pumpkin carving. My first competition was at Drexel Park in Newtown Square, PA. The pumpkins were a bit smaller that I'm used to so I completed this one without any helpers. I won 2nd place and a little cash which was nice.

Sketched the design on with a sharpie.

The pumpkin and my painting for inspiration.

Because the carving was done during the day, I had to bring it home to light it up.

My original painting created for this pumpkin (sold).
