Anon-O-Lantern
I drift through zones of being pro and anti-pumpkin. There are times when the tiny little saws don’t break and I’m not clearing vast swatches of diamond hard pumpkin jizm off the kitchen table that I think to myself “You know, pumpkin carving isn’t all that bad.”
I’ve discovered, over the years, that pumpkin etching, painting, sculpting, and mechanizing are far more rewarding to wit: my Guy Fawkes Jack-O-Lantern. Observe ye mighty and despair.
I’ve even provided the pattern I used for your downloading and punkin’ carving pleasure. Aren’t I nice?
If you find your life is incomplete Guy Fawkes accessories filling it, you should visit my store and pick yourself up some.
I'm Matthew Borgatti. I run a store called Sleek and Destroy, and I love to make stuff.

Just wanted to say thanks for the template – i used it for my pumpkin this year (slightly modified to work as a carving instead of an etching…)
here’s a link to the completed pumpkin: http://www.tbare.com/_offsiteFiles/fawkes2011.jpg
Thanks again!

That’s badass! I’m glad I could add a little anonymity to your Halloween.

Nice! This is my first year going all out on the tools – Dremel, X-ACTO, Sharpie, spray mount for the pattern… took forever but it came out great and I had a blast:

That looks excellent! You managed to capture the original illustration very nicely.
