Another pumpkin masterpiece...

Before we do this year's reveal...


let's review...

October 2008

the Election year:

October 2009

My personal favorite....

the Brinly pumpkin!

And now...

for Dan's 2010 entry...

Dr. Mike Shannon!

(the man who owns the dental practice Dan works at)

A lot of you ask how he does it, which is why I present the Dan's-pumpkin-carving-DIY-tutorial:

So, he takes a regular ol' photo....

Turns it black and white

plays around with the exposure...and stuff..

Tapes it to a choice-picked-pumpkin...

Don't forget the tools! 

Dental tools are quite useful for more things than just teeth!

And....

Wah lah!

Mr. Shannon is a pumpkin! :)

It's times like these that I ache for a "nice" camera to show you how awesome this thing really looks.

They have a carving contest at work. Unfortunately, Dan's pumpkins don't look very good in the light...

but they are magical at night! 

I'm so proud...can you tell?!

Skills you learn from Dental school...

Dan's office is having a pumpkin carving contest. Today they are all to bring in their "masterpieces" and the patients will judge them all week. Dan spent much time searching for the perfect pattern. What do you think?




Oh, can't tell what it is?

Here, let's turn off the lights.

Now, what do you think?

NO, not of the man himself, but of Dan's artwork, sillies!

I think it's pretty stinkin' awesome. Course, everything about Dan is pretty stinkin' awesome....
