    The Third Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

    We had a lot of fun the past two years designing Jack-o-Lantern faces using Xara, Photoshop, and even some modeling apps to design that perrenial favorite, so here it is again.

    Use the photo below, or your own, and virtually carve away (and save the seeds for roasting).

    To get started, there's a wonderful free pumpkin face truetype font at:

    Time's a wastin'; get out your Smashing Pumpkins CD to get in the mood, and eat some candy you swore you'd save for the trick or treaters!

    My Best,

    Gare

    Trick or treat!

    I cobbled a Painter nozzle for the occasion--I have no idea how to do a Mac Painter nozzle, but this Windows one works in Painter v. 6 and later.

    I scanned some vintage (from the 60s, not stale) candy I bought at a bulk candy store, the put the stuff on layers in PS. Then I opened the psd file in Painter, Shift+clicked on the layer titles, then clicked Group. I chose Make Nozzle from Group on the Nozzles palette's fly-out, then saved to RIF file format.

    The nozzle file's too large to post, so I put it up on OurMedia, a great site for archiving your precious stuff for posterity--there's no expiration date, and it's free.

    Go to http://www.ourmedia.org/node/79159; you don't need to log in. Click the link to full size image, and the nozzle will download. In Painter, choose Load Nozzle from the Nozzle palette's flyout, and paint away!

    Remember Turkish Taffy? They'd pull your fillings out. And the black Necco wafers I think were made out of chimney soot, and you could gross out your parents by sticking out your tongue. The pastel dots on a cash register strip of paper had both taste and roughage. And naturally Pixie sticks provided quick energy and possibly diabetes for making the neighborhood rounds, with your kid brother's sack, because he was home sick with measles.

    My Best,

    Gare

    lasa!

    Hi lasa! Thanks for carving for us all!

    I love the teeth...they're perfect (no trick or treat candy, I guess). Did Jack O. Lantern go to a vege-orthodontist? 8}

    My Best,
