Artwork
Outside of the digital realm, I am an illustrator, painter, and sculptor. But most noteworthy in recent years, I have built a profession within the up-and-coming Halloween industry as an internationally renowned Jack O'Lantern Carver.
Over ten Halloween seasons of experience carving jack o'lanterns. These pieces of artwork come in all shapes and sizes, and can be up to 100+ pounds of pumpkin. They are meticulously painted by hand, scraped, carved, gutted, and lit up in a process that can take 15 hours or more! I create jack o'lantern artwork as part of freelance seasonal projects with an annual outdoor Halloween event production company. Involved in the production of multiple pumpkin shows across the country such as "Rise of the Jack O'Lanterns", "Night of 1000 Jack O'Lanterns", "Carved" and others.
In addition to creating carvings on organic pumpkins, I also work with artificial pumpkins made of foam for TV and photo shoots, long term events, displays and more. All of these different jack o'lantern options go through the same process of being hand carved. My work has been displayed all over the country and beyond at seasonal events in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, New Jersey, Chicago, and Vancouver.
