Obviously its way too late to get in on this... but I just became a member yesterday and found this battle.
I take great pride in carving our pumpkins every year, and thought I’d share what I did this past October.
Enjoy!

I don’t know people... it’s 5:30pm on Friday and I think Lance is going to take this one home for its technical merit. But, I think Bill Berkson’s just might have the most appropriate design for the medium.

Of course, don’t make me the definitive judge.

Type Battle: Pumpkin Carving
Halloween 2007

// Rules
1- Carve, cut, etch, &c., your typographic design, letterform or mark into a pumpkin or other gourd.

2- Post a photograph (600 x 400 please) of your entry in this thread. Feel free to inform us about your method, inspiration, &c. but the best entries will speak for themselves.

3- As with other type battles, this starts on a Monday and ends this Friday (which happens to be 2 days after Halloween, no points will be reduced with November entries).

// Judging & Prizes
As with any street battle, there is no panel of judges and no prize — only the ability to call yourself the best on the block.
