1.    It seems like Halloween 2013 was a good year for me when it came to my pumpkins getting noticed. I was approached by an individual asking if he could use a picture of one of my pumpkins for a piece, making sure to include that I would be given credit for the carve. I agree, and after a few weeks I was sent the link to his article. Apparently, this individual writes for a newspaper that also publishes it's paper online, a British newspaper called "The Independent" 
       Here is the link to the article,  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/halloween-2013-14-of-the-best-pumpkin-carvings-8881879.html , seems my One Direction pumpkin was voted as one of the best 14 pumpkins carved this year.

2.     I was also approached by an online magazine called gamedayr.com, they wanted to do an article on the sports themed pumpkins I have carved over the years. http://gamedayr.com/lifestyle/fans/best-sports-pumpkins-86147/ , Thank you Gamdayr!!

3.     Crypticon Kansas City 15-17 August 2014 - Finally decided to try displaying my pumpkins at a larger venue, so I got a booth at the Crypticon KC, low and behold, it was a hit. Scott Wilson (Hershel from The Walking Dead) stopped by the booth and took a few pictures with the pumpkin I carved of him, and autographed it to boot. He is such an amazing man. The Following day Kane Hodder (Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th) came by and asked for a pumpkin!!
