October is finally upon us, which only means one thing, Halloween is coming.
To help set the mood, here are some amazing jack-o-lanterns created by a group of artist from Passion For Pumpkins.
Instead of carving the pumpkins normally, the crew uses ballpoint pens, oil-based markers and paring knives to create these incredible works of art.
According to My Modern Met, the artists have to first shave the pumpkins with a paring knife to remove some of the skin. Next, they cut out the bottom and clean the insides, leaving the skin at “a quarter of an inch thick”, which allows the light to “illuminate the image on the outside”.
From old-school classics like ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Frankenstein’ to comic book and movie characters, these incredible pumpkin carvings certainly beat the typical Halloween jack-o-lantern.
