It's that time of year again! I bet you thought I'd forget, didn't you? Well I DIDN'T! Here's another batch of fun goofy Jack-O-Lantern Designs for you all!!

The same deal goes as every year: if anybody actually decides to attempt to carve any of these (like Stephanie, Nicole, and Josh, Megan, and I did) please send me pictures at evan.m.boucher@gmail.com and I'll post them up here! That goes for previous years' pumpkin designs as well. You have until the end of the month! I will post all physical Jack-O-Lantern carvings together on Halloween.

And last but not least, I realized I forgot to post the two physical ones from last year!!! They made it into some Facebook comments, but like a liar, I never posted them on the blog, so I'm going to fix that this instant!

Here's one from Laura Rooney:

And here's the one I did last year (it's the happy one in the middle):

Both of these are from last year's batch:

I can't wait to see what you come up with! Happy Carving and Happy Halloweeeennzzz!!!!

Okapi Love

I realized I never posted this on the blog, but thought today was an appropriate day to do so:

I created this digital painting for a raffle prize last year at Laughs for Giraffes, a comedy show organized by the folks at the LA Zoo to benefit Giraffe conservation.

Why an Okapi? Well, I painted a Giraffe for the previous year's event, and the Okapi is the only other surviving member of Giraffidae. I may have to look more into weird extinct species or get more creative for future events...

Here are some in-progress studies and brainstorms:
