    Video Game Pumpkin Art!

    This past weekend we did some pumpkin carving, and of course being a gigantic geek I had to do some game related pumpkins. So here we have my wife's generic pumpkin, my Katamari pumpkin and my ode to the Triforce. You can see my repositioning of the pumpkin's stem to the Prince's antenna. Also you can make out the Sharpie™ marks from where I cut the pieces out. I probably should have used non-permanent marker...

    See the rest of the set here!

    Have you carved your video game referencing pumpkin yet? I wanna see em!

    Haven't carved any this year yet, but here's my pumpkin from the school carving contest last year:

    I lost to some art student who carved the whole Nightmare Before Christmas "Jack and Sally standing on the spiral shaped hill thing" scene. Guess no one can appreciate a good Pokemon these days!

    This year I hope to get a Sonic the Hedgehog carved to commemorate his 15th birthday. Might as well keep the spirit alive, eh?

    Not so much a video game... but still a bit geeky. Sorry about the lame dark photo. It is hard because it is not IN YOUR FACE bright.

    Your Katamari pumpkin pales significantly in comparison to my own, kind sir.

    This is also hella backdated, but I just found the page and had to dig :).
