“The good thing about being Dr. Frankenstein is that you can always make new friends.” ~Aaron Allston
Luongo's Monster
I planted the seed that grew this pumpkin then carved* it into this jack-o-lantern monster.** He’s been franken staring at me ever since.*** I’m like, “go out and meet people. There’s a little girl down the road who I’m sure would like to play with you.”**** But he just stares. We’re still bonding, I guess.
I wanted to submit my monster to A Patchwork of Flesh, but I’d have to make it into a 2.5 x 3.5 artist’s trading card and send it to him … and what are the chances I’ll get around to that? Still, I highly recommend his site if you’re a fan of Frankenstein’s Monster. Great stuff. Enjoy and Happy Franken Halloween.
(*Thanks to D for the carving set.)

The McCarroll children give it a solid A++.

Sweet. I think he’s going to age well. The droopier his lazy eye gets, the better.

Nice carving Julie, I don’t have a pumpkin yet at A Patchwork Of Flesh. You could always sent in a 3.5 x 2.5 inch photo.

Thanks, Coop. Yeah. I have to do that. I have few ambitions, but I’ve really got to be a part of “A Patchwork of Flesh.”
