Opis

You may be familiar with Jack-O-Lantern, but you don't know Jack like this. Meet Jack's Giant, David & Goliath, Frankenstein, and The Emperor, all sculpted from pumpkins. For a decade Bailey's pumpkins were featured on the Halloween broadcast of KSL News in Salt Lake City, Utah. Richard Bailey, a pioneer in the art of pumpkin sculpting carved and preserved pumpkin heads for nearly 40 years. See a showcase of fresh and shrunken pumpkin heads, both lifelike and caricature. Learn about the tools and methods he employed to develop an art that he believed would stand the test of time. Richard didn't quite make it to see the Halloween of 2012, but he was hopeful that the lantern would be carried on. Compiled from his detailed scrapbooks and notes, this book seeks to inspire a new generation of artists. I know what you are thinking. What does a 40 year old pumpkin head look like? Take a peek inside to find out.
