Old pumpkin carved so creepy characters - Hollywood artist, Jon Neill, recently showcased his latest work in the form of variations of pumpkin carving. His work is so vivid and so detailed that it is difficult to believe that they are all completely made out of an old pumpkin.
Jon, a native of Kansas City, has been taught to carve pumpkins since childhood. But his expertise does not accept recognition, until a few years ago, when the San Fernando Valley residents turned pro him. At that time, he attended an audition for a TV show as an artist Wars Halloween pumpkin carver.
He made some video of herself while working. When one video posted on YouTube, he began to receive thousands of hits, and he soon became one of the artist's famous pumpkin carver. To welcome Halloween, since last August, he traveled to Ventura County to pick the perfect pumpkin to be supporting the project. "I am looking for a pumpkin with character," he explained. "If I could see a bit of expression or attitude in the pumpkin, I would take it to be carved."
After the Halloween season really begins, Jon will be people who have very dense schedule. He appeared on the Halloween events across America to carve in front of people.
It proves that Jon is one of the few artists who have managed to turn their skills into a money field. People seem to love to watch him work, and even do not mind sitting for hours while waiting for the carving is completed.
He said that one of her biggest pumpkin ever carved weigh up to 771 kg. Since only be seasonal pumpkin carving, Jon will spend the rest of the year working as a film and television crews.
