Here are the Jack-O-Lanterns I created for the Minnesota Zoo in my second year on the show. There were a lot of pop-culture pumpkins in the show this year that piqued my interest, but I still did get a red panda done as well (they are, after all, my favorite). The designs I picked generally took quite a bit longer than the animal pumpkins I did last year as they had a lot more small details. I used the darkroom and projector at the studio a lot more this year for image placement, sometimes combining multiple images to create a composition. I pushed myself to use a larger surface of the pumpkin and wrap the design around more, so it was tricky to try to capture all the details into a still image! I had to include a few extra detail shots of my second Zelda pumpkin of the season — I was really pleased with how that one turned out especially.
