I know there are a lot of Pumpkinrot fans here so I wanted to let everyone know that he's updated his website to include his latest scarecrow, ROOTS. I'm totally blown away with this one (I think it's his best yet). I was lucky enough to watch the progress on this prop from it's beginning. John's a talented guy and super nice...I hope you enjoy ROOTS as much as I have. Check it out here: http://pumpkinrot.com/pages/Page17.htm

I got to tell you I'm even more impressed after taking a second look at John's new prop. "Roots" is really a fantastic creation. It's so organic. So primeval. He has made a creature you might imagine living in some deep dark forest.

But I love the fact that he took the "scarecrow" and photographed it on in a open field. It make it more creepy since it seems somehow out of place. Like it has wandered into the open or simply rose out of the ground. Brilliant.

A couple of thoughts on Pumpkinrot's work:

1. It's so good, and has so much emotion and power, that it goes waayyyy beyond just Halloween props and easily lands in the realm of true art.

2. His photography is art in and of itself. Take a look at these two shots:

Amazing stuff. I don't know what John does for a living, but if it isn't art he's in the wrong field! :)

Those are two of my favorite photos on his site. Truly is art.
