7 Sept 2024:
Well folks, as you will surmise if you've already gone into the site, it is in desperate need of updates of the past couple of years worth of carvings. I'm hoping to get caught up before the current season (just around the corner) arrives.
​If you go to my Instagram page, that it up-to-date with carvings.

Please find on this page and the 'Patterns 2Patterns 2' page a wide selection carving patterns I have generated over the years - all have been tested and confirmed awesome!  Newest patterns are noted with a *NEW* designation; all other patterns are grouped by 'subject theme' in subsequent sections.  On 'Patterns 1' page you will find Monster/Horror Imagery patterns/pumpkins; on 'Patterns 2' page you will find Non-Horror Movies, Television, Music, and 'Other' Imagery patterns/pumpkins.

Each pattern is shown as a group of three images: 1) an original photo/image from which the pattern was generated; 2) a photo of the actual carved and illuminated product [BTW, all of my carvings are on real pumpkins, no funkins here]; and 3) a thumbnail of the pattern.  If you click on the original photo/image you can toggle between an enlarged original photo/image and an enlarged photo of the carved pumpkin.  If you click on the pattern thumbnail you will open a new page with the full-sized pattern which can then be saved and/or printed for use.
PLEASE NOTE: My patterns are free for public use, I ask just two things in return:
1. Tell people about this website - spread the gray-scale joy!
2. Visit, like and leave a comment on Mannie's Pumpkin Art Facebook, Instagram, and/or Twitter pages.

There are a lot of images on this page so it can take some time to load...please be patient, it is WORTH the wait!  This is just page 1 of the patterns, for more see Patterns 2 page.  If you don't like any of the patterns I've already generated simply click the button below and follow the directions to request a custom pattern.

"Patriotism?" - my entry in the Powell Garden's (Kansas City, MO) 'Big Jack' o-lantern carving contest.  Technically this isn't a 'tried & true' pattern as the carbon didn't transfer to the pumpkin (100 lb Big Jack) during pattern tracing so I had to free-hand the pattern.  But it was free-handed from the B/W pattern shown so I guess this is a tried & true pattern.  The red 'grid markers' were added since I printed the pattern across multiple 8x10" pages to make it big enough for the 100 lb pumpkin.
