Hope you enjoy the work of master pumpkin carver Doug Goodreau. He created these last weekend at the Calabasas Pumpkin Festival. First time I’ve seen spray paints being used in pumpkin carving, but the result is spectacular!

Some random faces awaiting their final transformations.

This purple pumpkin imp grins as he watches the passers-by.

I caught an episode the other night on Food Network of “Outrageous Pumpkins 2″, where four contestants compete against each other to see who can grabs the title of master pumpkin carver and a prize of $10,000. They were all fantastic artists and carved some absolutely stunning pumpkins. The winner?…Ray Villafane…Master Sculpter. Go to his website www.villafanestudios.com to learn more about him and his art. You can also go to his myspace page www.myspace.com/villafanestudios to see more from his awesome pumpkin gallery.

Okay guys… Halloween is way over so get rid of those nasty moldy pumpkins. Or they will share the same fate of the Wicked Witch from the Wizard Of Oz. Can you all say…. “What a world, what a world!”
