An Artist Created the Most Insane Jack-o'-Lanterns We've Ever Seen

If you thought DIY emoji pumpkins [1] were cool, your mind is about to be blown by one artist's amazing carving skills. Edward Cabral is a painter, sculptor, and cake decorator based in Chicago, and he shares his crazy-cool work on his Instagram [2] and website [3]. Among his specialties are jack-o'-lanterns like you've never seen before (unless you've ever seen an intricate Shakespeare pumpkin).

Yes, all of Edward's hard work rots pretty quickly, but he'd rather not create something that lasts forever. "I work a lot in media that cannot be archived, like food and unfired ceramic, because I enjoy watching my work decay," Edward told Mashable [4].

Read on to see some of his most amazing pumpkin carvings, and if you're not feeling quite as savvy this Halloween [5], try these easy, no-carve pumpkin decorating ideas [6].
