Got my eye on you

Artist Ray Villafane began carving pumpkins on a lark for his art students in a small rural school district in Michigan. The hobby changed his life as he gained a viral following online and unlocked his genuine love of sculpting. Here are images of pumpkin carvings Villafane created over the past five years.

Who let me outta here?

Ray Villafane's signature Halloween pumpkins are known for their intricacy and lifelike subjects -- even if those subjects are the undead.

Would you open this zipper?

People often ask Villafane whether he crafts some of his pumpkin creations by putting more than one pumpkin together. His answer? Nope. With only a few rare exceptions, he makes a point of carving just one solid pumpkin.

Rough day

Villafane advises would-be carvers to steer clear of perfectly round pumpkins. His favorite carving pumpkins have an oblong shape.

Villafane was able to infuse this pumpkin with a healthy dose of hope and change.

Please don't pull on that tab

In addition to carving pumpkins, Villafane also works with wax and sand. “He is not limited by any material,” said Villafane’s colleague Andy Bergholtz, chief sculptor for Sideshow Collectibles. “The man could sculpt the statue of David out of a stick of butter.”

Say 'aaaahhhhh'!

Villafane also encourages aspiring pumpkin carvers to work with thick pumpkins. “Pick up three pumpkins of the same size,” Villafane advised. “If one feels much heavier than the others, it’s got a thick wall.”

Predator pumpkin

Villafane used a little bit of extra pumpkin meat to create the tiny spikes added to this Predator’s face and head. Otherwise, the rest of the carving was made with just one pumpkin.

Motorized Medusa

The protruding snakes on Medusa's head -- carved from separate pumpkin meat and added to the sculpture -- are attached to tiny motors so they move.

It's alive!!

Villafane said an oblong-shaped pumpkin is best for carvers who want to create realistic-looking faces.
