Here’s the pumpkin I carved for Halloween this year. It’s a wolf howling. Yes, I know it’s a little hard to make out — especially since the nose curled around the pumpkin, and was therefore difficult to get a good shot of without distorting the view of the rest of the carving.
I foolishly decided to hearken back to my misspent days of youth when I would often draw up similar tribalish tattoo flash for customers. [At the risk of sounding like the fogey that complains about going uphill in the snow both ways to school: We actually resized ALL the flash by hand, since there wasn't a stencil machine in our shop until much later!].
Note to self: What is easily rendered with Sharpie is infinitely harder to pull off in the medium of squash fruits.
Hope everyone had a good one, and sorry I missed all the parties this year because I was on the road. 
Speaking of the road — I need to get off my ass and edit those travel pictures. Gah!
