Jack-O-Lanterns: IRL 2020

 Happy Halloween Everyone! That means it's time for a "Jack-O-Lanterns In Real Life" post! This year COVID didn't stop people from carving Jack-O-Lanterns - in fact, we had more people submit carvings of my designs than ever before this year!

First up my friend and Giraffe-Keeper Extraordinaire, Mike Bona decided to go with my rhino design from 2018:

I think he absolutely nailed it. Fantastic job! Here's the original for your convenience:

Then we had Nicole DiGiambattista's carving from a design from 2015:

Another incredible job! Here's the original design:

And last but not least, we have Bonnie Garcia's carving of a design from the first ever lineup from 2010:

Aaaaaand here's the original:

Thanks for playing everyone! It makes me happy to see more and more people put these doodles to good use every year! Happy Halloween everyone!!! Looking forward to what everyone comes up with next year!

Happy Halloween Everyone! That means it's time for a "Jack-O-Lanterns In Real Life" post! This year I only got one, and it was from Nikki Elder.

It's a design from last year's batch, and she chose the Allosaurus skull. I think it turned out great!

And here's the original for your convenience:

Thanks for playing, Nikki, and Happy Halloween everyone!!! Looking forward to what everyone comes up with next year!

Howdy Folks! And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! (oOOoOOOo spPoOoOOokkKkkyy)

That also means it's time for this year's edition of Evan's Jack-O-Lanterns In Real Life!

This year we had Josh and Megan wanting to try out some designs:

Josh decided to go with the Alfred Hitchcock Silhouette,

which was included in the 2013 designs:

Megan took on the challenge of The Babadook:

And I participated as well, with this dude:

 

The ones Megan and I did were from this year's designs:

And here they all are hanging out together! That's a record 3 this year! And they all turned out great! Good work everyone and Happy Halloween! We'll see y'all again next year!

Alright, as Halloween settles down, it's time to post this year's edition of Jack-O-Lantern Designs In-Real-Life.

I only got one this year, from the ever-popular Nicole Altmann of Sunny Philadelphia PA:

For those of you who don't have them memorized, this is a design from the very first group back in 2010:

Thanks for playing Nicole, I think it turned out pretty great! Even the shape of the base-pumpkin matches pretty well. Extra points for that! For the rest of you, hopefully we'll see some more next year :)

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Heeey now!

  Somebody actually took me up on my challenge and carved one of my pumpkins! This one comes from Ms. Stephanie McEnery!

  If anybody would like to join her in her efforts, you have two days left to carve any of these, these, or these! If you do, send me a picture and I will post it. Thanks Stephanie, for being the first! Perhaps others will follow :)

Enjoy,

  Evan
