The Scream by Jeffrey C. Rippy

I wanted to show a little of my artistic abilities. I decided to use for my medium a gourd-like squash called Cucurbita pepo of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae. More commonly know as the pumpkin. The relief type carving is a reproduction of the famous painting titled The Scream by artist Edvard Munch (pronounced monk). I am hoping that I can get some European galleries to pick it up for display, especially before it rots, which tends to be a major downside of using this type of medium.
