Check the link. The artist is there.



My largest pumpkin carving endeavor ever. I took the Shepard Fairey designed poster, put it in CS, made it 3 shades in B&W and resized it to 8x10. Used carbon paper to etch the pattern onto the pumpkin, then used an exacto knife(man i wish i had dremel tool) and carved the 3 layers to make the pattern. Total time 8hr.....

I can't even carve a simple grin, nose and eyes. I'm also more likely to injure myself.

13. Does someone have a pattern I can print out and lay over my pumpkin

I don't have a steady hand, but if I could cut around a pattern, I could possibly get something like the picture.
