Because we had a hurricane right before Halloween, many events had to be postponed. Including a pumpkin carving night for the local kiddies. But the event went on about a week later, and I was there to show off the way of the pumpkin carve.
Unfortunately, I had carved all my pumpkins. And by a week after Halloween, there were none to be found on short notice. But... someone was kind enough to donate a smallish pumpkin for me to do a quick demo carve on. I chose My Pet Monster. Something I thought was visually interesting for the kids, but simple enough to do quickly. I knocked this guy out in about 20 minutes.
I didn't get to do my usual cleanup on the fine details, nor use my usual camera equipment (this is just a snapshot with my cell phone). But for what it's worth... add this guy to my list of carves for 2012.
