I was on a flight on Saturday just flicking through the local paper (The Daily Telegragh, Sydney Australia), when I found this page. I thought to myself, "I've seen that name somewhere before"

The article reads:

They take several months to grow, but Ray Villafane needs just two hours to turn humble pumpkins into works of art. The model maker and former art teacher uses spoons and a scalpel to carve the orange gourds into Halloween Horrors. "Not all pumpkins will look good . . . the most important thing is the weight" Mr Villafane, said."You need to pick the meatiest pumpkin"

He isnt my favorite sculptor for no reason. For me Ray is the best in the business. How can we forget ghost rider comiquette, bowen sabretooth and supes vs darkseid. Kudos Ray hope you get what you deserve.(fame and money that is )

These are great. Ray has a lot more too posted on his Facebook page. Some amazing talent at work there and easily the best carved pumpkins I've ever seen.
