Halloween art taken to the next level

Pimpkins - The Pimped Up Pumpkins

Pumpkins are ace. You can rip out their guts and poke their faces with sharp knives and they don't even care. Just look at these guys below.

Created by American artist Ray Villafane and his friend Andy Bergholtz, former art teacher Ray began carving without any training and only discovered his talent after offering to carve a pumpkin for one of his pupils.

Ray then went on to work as a commercial sculptor for D.C and Marvel Comics where he honed his pumpkin carving skills. He now transforms pumpkins in just two hours and says he doesn't plan his designs, he just makes it up as he goes along.

Apparently, the trick is all in the pumpkin, you just need to pick the right one.
