Good news - I’m back on Food Network! This time, I’m carving pumpkins on Outrageous Pumpkins! I didn’t win, but I made it to the finale, I carved some very cool pumpkins, I got to work with a great production crew, and I met six other fantastic artists. So overall a fantastic experience!

I won the first challenge with my jack-o-lantern ghost story!

My nesting jack-o-lanterns got me through to the next episode!

Series of jack-o-lanterns with scenes of a pirate cove, a sea monster, and a ship

Very happy with my zombie self-portrait.

The group haunted house challenge was a challenge, but we won our way through to the next episode.

My first time carving an Atlantic Giant! Pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey come to life and impaled the birthday kid.

Genuinely one of the most fun shows I’ve ever been involved in!
