This is the coolest pumpkin idea ever.

First because it references a cute cute chipmunk pic.

Second because it takes technical skillz!

Oh my god! This carver did so well! I just carved my first pumpkin since I was verrrry little :) My boyfriend and I completed a nice basic one and we're as proud.
This one just takes the cake! It's very beautiful when lit up. I was whining a few posts back that I wanted to see a cute pumpkin picture.

Mia

Amazing. simply amazing. Props to the carver. I have the chipmunk on my desktop now, and I may have to change it for tomorrow to this! Well done - amazing patience!

We have four pumpkins this year, and I was just about to look up the Dalek one:

Wow! Good job!

Subhangi
 |  Oct 30, 2007 at 09:55 PM

Thats some skillfull carving.
R.Moore...The Dalek one is redonkulous. I didn't know you chaps in the colonies were into Dr Who. I watched it as a child, in goo.d old black and white 405 lines The productions were El Cheapo and it was not much better than a sink plunger and a egg whisk.

The history of the original photomontage made me sniffle, and this homage just lays me flat. Oodles of love to all followers of CO!

Dang, when I first saw that it made me think of the old Squirrel Nut Zippers candy logo! Sweet!

 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 04:34 AM

I'm not sure which I love more... the crazy skilled carving, or the genius name "Chipmumkin".

just me
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 04:42 AM

I wish my pumpkins looked that cool this year (or any year)! What a great job.

On a side note, last year a chipmunk ate my pumpkins. They all had little chip' chew marks.

Kate
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 05:24 AM

Oh wow. I LURVE this!
I knew right away what the carving resembled!
Man, my Jack o'lanterns always end up as simple, smiling faces -- this is a work of art!

Nice job! Totally cute and you are amazingly talented.

Jane
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 10:27 AM

That is awesome. I had not seen the original pic before, so I thought the link was going to take me to the artists website, but then the original pic came up and I was amazed at how wonderfully the pumpkin was carved to look so much like that pic.
Very nice work.

 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 10:30 AM

Rats, I forgot the other thing I wanted to say, sorry about the two posts, Im not quite all here yet....

When its lit up it looks like the chipmunk is sitting in a hollow log.
Perfect background.

Catsquatch
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 10:33 AM

Catsquatch,
are you here yet? LOL

Kiragirl
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 11:05 AM

WOW!!!

Of course, it's not so hilarious when you consider all of the chipmunks who have lost their lives choking on punkin seeds.

berthaslave
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 11:07 AM

YAY! This has made my day!

John
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 11:21 AM

that is totally amazing wonderful job.
I wish that I could do that but it would not look anything like it was suppose to ......

 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 12:47 PM

Thanks everyone! It wasn't that difficult to carve. I just photoshopped the original picture, traced it onto the pumpkin, and carved away. I had trouble with the stem and flower, so i dyed the flower part purple with food coloring and shoved an actual stem through his hand. I'm glad you all liked it! I think it's getting cuter as it decomposes...

Christal
 |  Oct 31, 2007 at 02:03 PM

Really cool! I like the way the opening swirls around to make a little platform for the 'munk. Very snazzy!!

"that guy" is currently my screen saver. Great pumpkin!
