fancy shmancy jack o'lanterns [living]
for the halloween party i'm hosting for yosc, i thought it'd be really cool to have an okinawan jack o'lantern. most likely with a shisa (shishi dog lion) image on it, quite fierce. i thought it wouldn't be too hard to find some line art on the internet or something i could convert but this has been a real pain in the ass. i'm carving the pumpkin tonight and i almost gave up on the idea. i decided to search the web for inspiration so i could see some cool jack o'lanterns and learn from it. the first page i looked at was the last one because it was very inspiring. i looked at the pumpkin lady and there's some good stuff on there. it gave me an idea of how i might be able to do a shisa o'lantern. i can't draw and i'm no pumpkin carver but i can try.
