I Turn Pumpkins Into Freaks By Carving Them

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Jon Neill and I am a professional pumpkin carver seen on last year’s Snickers Halloween commercial and Champion of Food Network’s Halloween Wars.

I have been sculpting since I was a child and got my start making creatures at Stan Winston Studios in the 90’s sculpting Dinosaurs for the Jurassic park series. I had worked with most materials from clay to stone and had made a career in TV and Film utilizing my vast array of artistic skills. I love holiday traditions and sculpting pumpkins during Halloween is more than just carving. You connect with everyone on a deep level. In America, we have all carved a pumpkin with family members and when I carve, especially to entertain fans, everyone has a story they want to share with me.

I call it their “Pumpkin Therapy” to talk to the Pumpkin Guru, while I’m carving. As an artist, I like to bring something common and present it in a new way. There’s an art movement happening with Pumpkins and it’s a very exciting time for those of us trying to push the envelope with our carving. I also love to sculpt Chocolate, butter, cheese and anything else most people would never think to create with. Check out the previous post about my pumpkin carvings here.
