Happy Halloween

Hi All,

Happy Halloween.  Hope you're having some fun with it.  Here in Arizona and all over the country, Halloween has become a huge holiday.  People really get into the spirit of it; dressing up in costumes, decorating their yards and houses, kids have always gone door to door trick or treating.  A lot of people have parties and cities throw events too.  And of course - there's the spooky movies.

I thought I'd get in on the action a little and do a fun Halloween pic.  It's the old-school skull with red glowing eyes and Happy Halloween on it.

This years Halloween pic - digital art, Photoshop and Wacom tablet.

I had a little fun drawing it and coloring it in Photoshop with my pen and Wacom tablet.  Good times.
Enjoy your Halloween out there.  Be careful - there's going to be a lot of little ones out there walking around.

A little throw back pic from last year....spooky jack o lantern head.

Take care and have a fun Halloween.

Peace,

Tom

Halloween Fun

Hi All,

This year has flown by so fast.  I find it hard to believe that it's Halloween season again already.  So this year my wife Sue and I decided to do something we haven't done in a while....carve a pumpkin.

We start with a standard pumpkin.  About a foot tall from top to bottom.  Sue found us a really nice round pumpkin....perfect for carving.

Next - an awesome design.  Well - it's a design anyhow, maybe not all that awesome.

Then we clean out the inside.  Very scary inside that pumpkin.  We planned to clean and bake the seeds to eat.  In the end - what you see in the bowl is about all that came out of the pumpkin so we didn't bother with it.

OK - it's definitely no masterpiece but it's coming along nicely....sort of.  And...a little while later....

Ha!  The typical, standard looking carved Halloween pumpkin.  It shall take it's place of honor on the front porch.

I hope all of you have a great Halloween, and a wonderful holiday season coming up.  Have fun and enjoy the festivities....and let's be kind to each other in this season of giving.

Peace,

Tom
