Meet Christian Russell, the man is a Halloween legend. He has been massacring pumpkins since he was 10 years old. The UK-based artist simply loves horror, and goes crazy mad for Halloween each year! His favorite pumpkins are the giant ones. By giant, he means world record type ones – 913 kg (2013 lbs). That sounds scary already! Give a man a knife and detailed evil grimaces will emerge as 2.5D skull faces ‘drawn’ onto the flesh of a pumpkin. Christian uses a variety of loop tools, while “the key to these carvings is to initially gauge the depth with which you can work into the flesh – before breaking through to it’s hollowed out center.” Artist often spends his time working at family attractions, where people can request from him a lot of different designs. For example, Mike Wazowski from Monsters, Inc. was very popular and Christian was able to make in under 20 minutes. Since he was a child he was practicing the pumpkin carving art, but one thing changed the game entirely. “When I saw the amazing 3D face carvings emerging out of America that I was inspired to up my game entirely.” Today, he’s carving pumpkins for celebrities, TV, radio, and more… He worked for 2 and a half days on a ‘Predator’ as it was an enormous piece and it needed an immense level of detail. Join this super passionate pumpkin jack-o’-lantern sculptor on his Facebook page and learn more about the art itself through his tutorials, videos, and educational descriptions. And Happy Halloween all you ghosts and ghouls out there!
